My favourite part of any wedding shoot is capturing those precious candid moments that just happen as the day goes on, ( especially as the drink starts to flow). No setup staged poses, just naturally beautiful and often very funny moments that can be over in a blink of an eye, but always make a wedding album or book. These three images below show just how important natural moments are, for when the couple and friends and family look back at them in years to come, they will bring back many happy memories.
I like to use a longer lens for this type of photography so choose my Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 . Good usable range, not too heavy and searingly sharp. Coupled with the Nikon D4 it makes for a formidable team. By standing further away and using a longer lens people tend to not notice you and act far more naturally than they would if you were using a wider angle lens and standing much closer.

| Rude |
This last image showing a gentlemen being rather rude was over in about a second. Anticipating the moment, focusing, composing and pressing the shutter button at just the right time takes practice but is great fun and very rewarding when you nail the shot.
