Candid. Posed shots look corny to me. We’ll have posed family portraits and some of me and him but I want mostly candid

I agree!! Portraits are always a good idea but I'm a sucker for a good candid shot

I want a little bit of both! There’s some shot ideas I have in mind but I want the day to be fun and the happy candid moments be captured the most!

We did a bit of both! I wanted a few posed formal bridal shots done because it's a once in a lifetime thing to get that dressed up in a garment that becomes so meaningful to you. Then we did a few formal couple ones. Amongst those formal shots were where some of the best candids came in. Whether it was in between pictures or trying to get posed for something and something hilarious happening! I think the best photographers find time for both, but it helped that we had two photographers!

Candid right after the ceremony - just a moment to ourselves!
