The Difference Between Good and Great Candid Photography
Great candid event photography requires the photographer to understand the unique dynamics of your event: who the most important guests are, what moments will be most emotionally significant, the flow of the evening, and any cultural or family sensitivities. At Mr. Magnet, we always conduct a pre-event briefing to gather this information.
Key Information to Share With Us
Before your event, it helps to tell us: the names and descriptions of VIP guests (grandparents, the guest of honor's closest friends), any scheduled moments of significance (speeches, candle lighting, first dance), any moments or people to avoid photographing, and your venue's schedule so we know when people will be most relaxed and photogenic.
Setting the Tone for Natural Photos
The best candid shots happen when guests forget they're being photographed. Our photographers are trained to work quietly and naturally, blending into the background while capturing authentic emotion. The better you brief us, the more intentional — and beautiful — the resulting magnets will be.
