Authentic Candid Photography

Documentary Wedding Style

What is Authentic Candid Photography?

Say goodbye to traditional, formal wedding photography and hello to a hands-off approach that captures authentic memories of your special day. The focus is on you and your loved ones spending time together to make precious memories that will last a lifetime.

Our role as your photographers is to capture these special moments in a stress-free manner, with no interactions or suggestions that take away from the natural flow of your day. We understand the importance of family group shots and will dedicate a small portion of time to capturing these memories. However, our prime focus is on being in the moment and capturing your wedding day as it unfolds.

Our documentary-style wedding photography is all about stitching images together to tell the authentic story of your day—with plenty of guest photos and cherished moments that you'll treasure forever. From family interactions to kids playing, guests laughing and enjoying the craic, and you as a couple interacting with your families and friends, this is photography in its most natural form.

"Photography in its purest form—natural, honest, and alive with real emotion."

Read the FAQ below to see if this style suits your day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Authentic Documentary Wedding Photography?

Documentary wedding photography is a candid style where the photographer doesn't direct or pose you throughout the day. You're free to enjoy your wedding while we quietly create a set of images that tell the story of your celebration naturally.

Will you do family group shots?

Yes, if you'd like us to. We'll set aside a small amount of time for family group photos, but keep it minimal so the rest of your day flows naturally. The focus remains on the real, candid moments that matter most.

What does a documentary wedding photographer capture?

A documentary wedding photographer captures all the little, unplanned moments that make your day unique—laughter, emotion, movement, and joy. These candid images create a true, heartfelt record of your day as it unfolds.

If you'd like to learn more about this candid approach, or just have a chat about your wedding day, I'd love to hear from you.
