For many photographers the distinction that they don’t do posed photos is good enough reason to call themselves ‘candid’ or ‘art’ wedding photographers. The truth is there is a lot of ambiguity about what a candid photograph is in the first place. If it is simply a photograph that is not studied or posed then it is like giving a camera to a child and telling him to press the shutter randomly at people. The photos you will get will be candid enough.
Those who look for ‘candid’ wedding photographers have seen the overly intrusive traditional wedding photographers harass their friends and relatives on their wedding day. They are simply relieved to have a guy who does not breath down their necks on their own wedding. They are not art-directors, photo-editors or professional aesthetes who can really make a informed judgement on the quality of the photographer’s photos. They are private individuals running a business or with jobs in the share market, banks, hospitals, universities or corporations and their brush with photography hardly goes beyond them commenting on their friends holiday photos on Facebook.
