How to feel more confident in your wedding photos…
Worried about being awkward in front of the camera on your big day?
Don't worry, I got you...
I think that 90% of couples I work with are worried about having their photo taken (if it helps, I am HATE having my photo taken too) but it doesn't have to be that way. Here are some tips and tricks which will ensure you love the process AND get some epic shots.
Step 01:
FORGET ABOUT THE CAMERA
Okay, so maybe you're thinking that's waaay easier said than done - I get it. But usually we look awkward when we're overthinking it, so if you can just focus on one another or think about something else you'll immediately look and feel more relaxed!
Step 02:
BE YOU
So often I hear, "what should I be doing?" and honestly just being yourselves, having a laugh, chatting and kissing is the best way forward. Doing this means we'll capture authentic and real moments. Having your couple shots will probably be the only part of your wedding day that you're actually spending some quality time together so enjoy it!
Step 03:
KEEP MOVING
A big tip for avoiding awkwardness is to have a stroll, dance, hug and so on.. Doing so means you'll be distracted from the camera and it gives me loads of different angles to work with!
Step 04:
PRE WEDDING COUPLE SHOOT
Couple shoots are an optional extra but they're an amazing way of us getting to know one another and it gives you an opportunity to get used to being in front of the camera without the pressure of your wedding day.
Step 05:
TRUST ME
I'll be there to gently direct you along the way and I promise we'll have a laugh too. Everything I suggest or ask is because I want to get the best photos possible for you!
Step 06:
REMEMBER, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Everybody has insecurities but no one is more critical of you than yourself. You'll be dressed up to the nines and having the best day of your life with the love of your life - so love yourself, channel some Beyoncé energy and have a blast.
