9) What is candid wedding photography?
Candid wedding photography is the antithesis of traditional posed wedding photography. The wedding couple needs to the ask themselves if they want this style of photography for their wedding, because it’s a without fear or favor approach, but it’s probably more satisfying once you see the end result.
So what is the end result? Evocative photographs that are hopefully designed and executed to expose human character, showcase strong emotions inherent in the event, and steal fleeting glances of the manic (or not) interaction between the guests. Contrary to what people might think, candid photographs don’t have to be a series of snapshots grabbed throughout the wedding day during the controlled chaos that is a hallmark of these events. No, they can be much simpler than that. In fact, the most effective candid images are single images that tell a small story within the border’s of the picture frame only. They can be quiet moments or loud, the pregnant moments just before something big happens, or the aftermath of a wedding day prank (courtesy of the best man and the groomsmen). Weddings run the gamut in terms of emotional expression and outbursts, and candid wedding photographs seek to capture those in artistic way.
Effective candid wedding photography largely depends upon the photographer’s technique, skill and creative vision. The unique talent of capturing ephemeral moments from unsuspecting subjects is the forte of the candid photographer, and the one’s that steal the best images really are worth their weight in gold (and therefore a higher price), because the images they capture won’t just be keepsakes, but genuine works of art that can be framed and displayed without guilt or modesty. In their essence, candid photographs rely on a myriad of photographic techniques, combined with a defined design of documenting the event with a photographer’s singular vision.




Louise and I have had the privilege of being extremely busy the last few weeks, from photographing events like woman at work to taking baby photos in studio to photographing exclusive weddings at the Michelangelo. It’s truly been loads of fun and hard work….
As their families are from two different continents they’re having two weddings, one in South-Africa and another one in Ireland. Sounds like fun to me.. 
Can you imagine our dilemma with traffic… The Groom’s party (best men and Louise) got stuck in traffic and it took them over an hour to get to the church and the bride left her house late and also got stuck in traffic (It made the whole wedding quite interesting 
These are the hands that will help you up after you’ve fallen and will share the sunshine in your life. These are the hands which will caress your pregnant tummy in happy anticipation of your unborn child.
These are the hands which will hold your newborn baby with unbelievale tenderness…’ etc. etc. etc. Can you get an idea of what I’m talking about…? It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard at any wedding ceremony!

They didn’t mind going up and down the elevators to different floors for photographs since Susan also has a passion for photography. Louise and I had such fun shooting at this wedding and Susan a you really made us feel like family!
Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life, and there are so many details to worry about to make your day perfect.But thanks to Louise & Riani, my wedding photo's were one less thing to worry about as they took care of it all…
