The year 2014 was a big one for social media — especially Instagram. Every week our newsfeed was filled with sweet, hilarious, and occasionally outrageous photos of celebrities living their lives.

And remember those talked-about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wedding photos [2]? Ahead, check out those and other top candid moments of the year, and be sure to follow POPSUGAR on Instagram [3], Facebook [4], and Twitter [5].
