We can’t tell you how many times we’ve been tempted to just purge our whole wedding portfolio of everything but photos that represent only the most candid and unexpected moments from the weddings we’ve photographed…

But alas, who can resist those breathtaking bride-and-groom photos, those GQ-style wedding-party shots, and no wedding would be complete without your first kiss and all the other more standard memories we know you’re counting on us capturing for you. But just because we represent a mix of all those types of images in our portfolio, doesn’t mean we can’t give all the little in-between moments we’ve become known for capturing their well-deserved moment to shine.

That being said, we put together a random black-and-white collection of some of the best, most candid moments of 2011. We hope you enjoy!
