Candid Theory’s images pull at your heart strings – “Miriam doesn’t take a photograph, she captures a feeling.”

Candid Theory is a contemporary wedding photography service based in London, owned by wedding photographer, Miriam.

Miriam’s approach to photography is what she calls “unobtrusive journalism” whereby she works to document every detail of your day with minimal intrusion.

One of her clients noted this in her feedback – “It was like you were everywhere and nowhere at the same time!”

Miriam is particularly skilled in working with shy clients who are uncomfortable in front of the camera. One reason for this is because she completely relates!

Photography for Miriam is much, much more than taking photographs, it’s about understanding your needs and wishes, working with your timelines and adjusting to suit you and your guests.

We all worry about our guests and want to make sure they have an amazing time. Miriam’s personable approach helps friends & family feel at ease, taking the worry away from you.

Wedding photography is not just a service to you, it’s an experience. Miriam has the wonderful ability to curate couple and group photos into a personalised mini photoshoot session.

“The photos are so emotive, they made me cry…amazing really, as I didn’t shed a tear on the day…to be able to experience that through your photography is amazing, it’s just a very special gift that you have.” – Candid Theory client, 2024.

Miriam really cares about her couples. She takes time to get to know you so that you’re confident in her services being the right fit for you. This approach makes Candid Theory an investment. So many of her clients love her approach and have called her back for other events such as birthdays, portrait sessions and anniversaries!

Final words from Miriam:

“Thank you so much for taking the time to read more about me and my approach to wedding photography. I hope you enjoy looking through my portfolio! If you like what you see, and want to learn more, I’d love to hear from you - please get in touch via email: candidtheoryuk@gmail.com”
