Documentary Photography: Capturing Life as It Happens

For couples who value authenticity above all, documentary photography offers an unfiltered approach to capturing your wedding day. In this style, the photographer acts as an observer, blending into the background to document the day exactly as it unfolds. From the joyful tears during the ceremony to the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor, every moment is preserved in its purest form.

What Makes Documentary Photography Unique?

  • Hands-Off Approach: No posing, no staging — just genuine moments as they happen.
  • Real Emotions: Every tear, laugh, and glance is captured authentically, creating a timeless narrative.
  • Unfiltered Beauty: Documentary photography embraces the imperfections, highlighting the raw, unfiltered emotions of your day.

Guided Candid Wedding Photography: The Art of Creating Natural Moments

For couples who love the look of candid imagery but want a touch of artistry, guided candid wedding photography—also known as photojournalistic style photography—offers the best of both worlds. While the final images appear natural and unposed, this style involves a more intentional approach from the photographer to ensure each photo is as stunning as it is genuine.

  • Natural Prompts: Subtle directions and prompts help bring out authentic emotions and interactions, resulting in candid images with a polished finish.

Guided candid wedding photography—or photojournalistic style photography—is ideal for couples who want their images to feel genuine while benefiting from the expertise and artistry of a seasoned photographer.


Why Choose When You Can Have Both?

Your wedding day is as unique as your love story, and we believe your photographs should reflect that. By combining these two approaches, we create a collection of images that captures both the unfiltered reality and the curated beauty of your special day.

They are such an incredible team and so much fun! ... they really put us at ease. Our wedding photos look like US in the best way possible.
