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.
