What's more important, epic portraits or story?

I've been photographing weddings quite some time.

I've always noticed that couples almost never talk about these “epic portraits” afterwards.

What they seem to remember, and post on their socials are those tiny moments between their families, things they didn’t realise were happening etc

Bridesmaids seeing the dress for the first time, their grandparents or the kids running around.

I’ve been rebuilding my website recently and it’s made me question something:

Have we become too focused on making weddings look beautiful and not focused enough on helping couples remember how it felt?

Question for couples and photographers, what photographs mattered most to you?

(Im Interested to hear honest answers)
