25 Aug The B-List: Candid Wedding Photos You Didn’t Know You Needed
Hi brides and grooms to be,
Let’s Talk About the “B-List” Photos
When couples search for wedding photography, they often imagine the big, cinematic shots like the aisle walk, the kiss, the cake cutting. But ask anyone who’s been married, and they’ll tell you: it’s the unplanned, candid moments like the ‘B-List’ and that they cherish the most. Let’s talk about why these unexpected photos deserve a front row seat in your album.

What’s the B-List?

The B-list is everything that happens in between.
- Your grandma receiving tea, laughing at that moment.
- Your mum quietly fixing your veil before you walk out.
- The groom’s friends cracking up at an inside joke.
These moments aren’t staged. They’re not glamorous. But they’re yours. And years from now, they’ll bring you right back into the room.

What This Means for You
When I photograph weddings, I’m always balancing both lists:
The A-list → the shots you expect, the ones you’ll print big.
The B-list → the ones you never planned, but will never want to lose.
You may not see many of these in a portfolio (because, truthfully, they don’t always look “portfolio pretty”). But make no mistake: they’re the glue that holds your wedding story together. Book a consultation so I can showcase an entire portfolio for you.

Final Thought
Dear bride and groom-to-be, don’t just hire a photographer who can nail the perfect kiss at sunset. Choose someone who knows how to catch the unplanned, fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime little things too.
Because the A-list is for show.
But the B-list? That’s for you.
