The best emotions are captured on camera when you're not aware of it. That's the beauty of candid wedding photography and why so many people opt for it. Let's take a look at some of the brilliant moments frozen in time.
Candid wedding photography is all about capturing beautiful moments when you’re off-guard.

Such masterpieces are rare to accomplish, so you need to keep in mind some particular questions before you finalise one. Here, we have curated a handful of those to show you the magnificence of such unbridled shots.
1. Pre-wedding
Pre-wedding photography is synonymous with candid wedding photography. It is because of the images clicked that showcase how comfortable you can be around each other and also due to similar pricing. Candid photography works best for couples who are not comfortable around cameras.
2. Mehndi
Mehndi pictures are the best because most of them are candid photography shots. When everyone around is having fun, the pictures reflect it. So go ahead and plan dance performances on Mehndi songs and go crazy with your group of cousins and friends.

This is one of those rare gems every girl dreams of having when she begins her wedding festivities. A little warm and fuzzy feeling of being close to your pillar of strength - your mom.

This is hands down the cutest thing we've seen all day! Happy girls are the prettiest and this photograph is living proof of that! You can bring your love out on display too and steal a cute minute with your second half when no one is watching.

Or, maybe something as quaint as this? A happy go lucky bride-to-be with a smile that could seriously kill! A candid beauty such as this is a quintessential candid photography shot that every girl must have in her treasure trove of happy memories.
