Has anyone ever been hired as a candid wedding photographer?? this is something I'm interested because the pressure is off you. You can walk around and the interesting shots... like the flower girl playing with her dress or the guys goofing off while the girls are get their pictures done by the other photographer. Any thoughts would be helpfull to see if this something I should look more into.
Thanks

Your best bet to do that would be to sign up as a second for an established wedding photographer and be prepared to wait for opportunities to do that.
Having a second for candids and such usually is an extra cost and that extra cost is something that not every couple would be interested in spending money on.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. |

| I have to agree that it would be more likely as an additional photographer, when people (especially in this day and age where nearly everyone has a camera) the wedding couple normally get copies of casual things. It is the formal, pictures requiring expertises in lighting and composition that the $$$ goes too. Not to say it couldn't be done, my own style is more capture the real moments rather then set-up but I don't try to do wedding photography for a living either. And even my (very limit) experience has shown that the bride is looking for shots where everything is perfect, including background, lighting, composition etc.... |
