how to have candid images on your wedding day!

So, you've hired a photographer to capture your big day, and you want those candid moments that are more "real" and less "say cheese." Well, buckle up for a wild ride, because your photographer is about to become your ninja of candid shots.

First off, find yourself a photographer who not only knows their camera inside out but also has a sixth sense for when your aunt is about to break out into an embarrassing dance. You want someone who's not afraid to roll on the ground or climb a tree just to get that perfect shot of your grandma telling embarrassing stories.

Now, in the grand tradition of weddings, we've got to build a rapport with your photographer. Treat them like your wedding confidant. Share secrets, confess weird preferences, and let them in on the fact that your cousin Steve is prone to awkward dance moves. This way, they'll know exactly where to point their lens when things get hilariously cringe-worthy.

During the ceremony, give your photographer the freedom to roam. They're not just there for the classic "I do" moment – they're on a mission to capture your cousin's face when they cry during your vows. And don't forget to ask for some behind-the-scenes action during the getting ready process. Trust me, some of the best candid moments happen when the bridesmaids try to figure out how to zip up a dress without a manual, put on deodorant, and probably cry again.

Now, let's talk about the first look. Instead of giving each other that rehearsed gaze, go for the real deal. Try to sneak up on each other or blindfold your partner – anything to get a genuine reaction that's more than just a practiced smile. you can also read your vows privately or write a personal letter!

During the dance floor shenanigans, make sure your photographer ( aka hopefully me) knows that you're all about capturing the uncoordinated, funky moves. Forget about perfection; it's all about documenting the epic fails and hilarious facial expressions.

Oh, and speaking of faces, don't forget about your guests! cheersing, hugging, group photos lets get it all!

Lastly, let your photographer work their magic during the quiet moments. A stolen kiss while you're away from the crowd or a shared joke during the portrait session can result in some of the most genuine and heartwarming photos.

So, there you have it – your photographer's mission: to be the stealthy, hilarious, and slightly quirky documentarian of your wedding day. Let them loose, and you're guaranteed a wedding album filled with laughter, joy, and the wonderfully unexpected.
