Tips For Candid Wedding Photography

Nowadays, most couples don’t just want the formal shots at their weddings. Frequently, they’ll ask for ‘reportage’ shots, by which they mean more candid shots of themselves and the guests enjoying themselves without being lined up for the camera.

But in today’s camera phone heavy world, people are far more camera savvy than in days of old. So you need to know how to get good candid shots without people noticing. Here are ten tips to help make that task easier for you.

Always Be Ready
The first and most important rule of candid photography is to always have your camera ready. Your camera needs to be in your hand and ready to shoot at all times. Make sure you’ve got your ISO, shutter speed and aperture set to suitable for the environment (I’d recommend a f-stop of around f5.6 to f8, so that you still get some depth of field in the shot) and keep extra memory cards in your pocket.

Use The Right Equipment
Whilst having pro DSLRs is helpful for the majority of shots, it can be very useful to have a smaller camera along in addition to help with candid shots. Some of the newer mirrorless cameras, such as the Fuji X range, provide high quality shots in a far more compact body, helping to make you more unobtrusive.

Use A Longer Lens
It’s easier to get candid shots if you’re not standing right in front of people. So it’s worth investing in a zoom lens so that you can take pictures from a distance. That way, people are less likely to realize that you’re pointing a camera in their direction.
