Manny + Aadila What if your “I do” moment fel Manny + Aadila

What if your “I do” moment felt like stepping into a real-life fairy tale?

Forget the grand ballroom and the pressure of a big guest list. Imagine a quiet, sun-drenched park, just the two of you, promising forever, this is exactly what Manny and Aadila chose for themselves.

Their intimate elopement wasn’t about doing less; it was about feeling more— more connection, more magic, and more of what truly matters. It’s a love story written just for them.
You don’t need a reason to be photographed. Not You don’t need a reason to be photographed.
 Not a birthday, not a milestone, not a ‘new chapter.’
 You’re reason enough—right here, right now
Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are the Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are they just naturally this photogenic?!” 🤩

Here’s a little secret: it’s not magic, it’s a perfect mix of authentic moments and intentional posing!

While I absolutely live for those unscripted, belly-laughing candids, the truth is, most couples need a little guidance to feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. That’s where posing comes in!

Posing isn’t about stiff, unnatural smiles. It’s about giving you gentle prompts and directions that help you connect with each other and look your absolute best. Think of it as a little secret language we’ll learn together! It helps create those stunning, magazine-worthy portraits while still making you feel like yourselves.

So yes, I’ll capture all the sweet, spontaneous moments, but I’ll also be your personal hype girl, helping you nail those timeless photos you’ll cherish forever.

What kind of photos are you most excited about? Candid or posed? Let me know! 👇
