Plan Your Wedding

How to choose between candid and cinematic

What you actually receive, how long it takes, and what to ask before you book.

Candid photographers document; cinematic teams direct. Neither is better, but they deliver very different things. A candid team hands you hundreds of honest moments. A cinematic team hands you a film that feels like a trailer of your life.

Ask any photographer for one full wedding gallery, not a highlight reel. Consistency across 600 photos tells you far more than 20 favourites.

Confirm delivery timelines in writing. Four to eight weeks is normal for photos; films can take three months during peak season (November to February).
