How to feel comfortable and natural in your wedding photos
One of the biggest worries I hear from couples before their wedding is:
"We're awkward in front of the camera."
The good news? Almost every couple tells me exactly the same thing.
You don't need to know how to pose, and you definitely don't need to spend your wedding day pretending to be someone you're not. My approach is all about helping you forget the camera is there. Instead of stiff poses, we'll wander, chat, laugh together, and I'll gently guide you with little prompts that feel much more like spending time with a friend than having a photoshoot.
The role of the photographer on your wedding day
When you think of a wedding photographer, the image most people get is - just a photographer who photographs weddings right? But through my experience photographing weddings, I have found that a wedding photographer needs to be much more than that! And is invaluable on your wedding day, not only to capture every little detail beautifully but also to offer their experience from all the other weddings they've worked on to help your day run smoothly.
