Couples value experiences over material possessions and seek to document their lives in a way that is genuine and relatable. Candid wedding photography aligns perfectly with these values, offering a way to capture their wedding day in an authentic, story-driven manner.

I recently flew to the West Coast to photograph Jaime and Phil’s wedding in Silverlake, Los Angeles. When we spoke about what they wanted to take away from the day, they emphasized how important candid photography was to them. They wanted to be able to look back at photos of their best friends and family enjoying the day and dancing the night away like maniacs.

In recent years, the landscape of weddings has undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks in large part to couples who are rewriting the rules and redefining what it means to say "I do." Embracing authenticity, individuality, and inclusivity, younger couples are shunning traditional wedding norms in favor of unconventional celebrations that reflect their unique personalities and values.
