There’s something so honest about the way kids exist at weddings. They don’t try to be anything but themselves– curious, chaotic, sweet, wild. One minute they’re sneaking extra cake, the next they’re curled up in someone’s lap or breaking into full-body dance moves on an empty floor. There’s no filter, no pretense—just pure, in-the-moment energy. As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I love watching for these moments. Many times, these shots end up making a gallery feel even more real. Kids remind us that weddings aren’t just about the timelines and traditions—they’re about families in motion, living in the moment, and not giving a sh*t. I’ll always make space for the realness kids bring to a wedding day. Because they’re part of the story too.
