Natural vs Posed Wedding Photography: What Actually Works Best?

Most people say they want “natural/ candid” photos.

What they really mean is:
“I don’t want to feel awkward.” ( me that’s why I like being on the other side)

The Truth

Great wedding photography is a balance:

• Those Natural Genuine moments and

• Gentle direction when needed

Why Direction Matters

Without guidance:

• Couples feel unsure - lets face it how many of us do photoshoots for a living?

• Photos lack structure and depth

• You end up with a product that wasn’t the desired outcome

Subtle direction creates relaxed, natural-looking images- that we all want

The Best Results

Come from photographers who:

• Let moments happen

• Step in only when needed

• Keep things calm and efficient

You shouldn’t feel posed — just a gentle nudge in the right direction
