Hey couples photographers! Have you ever wondered how to capture a set of images that tell a story? I’m going to share with you my biggest tips that I use to evoke real emotions and tell a couple’s genuine story!

✨Follow me for more tips like these 👇

Ready to Tell a Story Together?

Here are some tips to capture those candid, heartfelt moments:

1. 🤩 Prompt, Don’t Pose: Instead of stressing over perfect poses, give your couples fun and engaging prompts. Ask them to whisper a secret, share a goofy joke, or reenact their first date. You’ll capture genuine emotions and smiles.

2. 📷 Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of life! Experiment with different viewpoints to add depth to your story. Go wide for scenic shots, get up close for those intimate details, and try a point of view shot to see the world through their eyes. And we all know instagram loves portrait-aimed shots, but don’t be afraid to shoot in landscape mode too!

3. 🕺 Move and Groove: Encourage movement! Have your subjects walk hand in hand, dance, or spin around. Running, playing tag, riding a bicycle, or a nice dip or lift is fun too! Movement not only adds energy to your photos but also helps couples feel more relaxed in front of the camera.

4. 🌟 Activity-Based Sessions: Plan sessions around fun activities. Take them on a boat ride, capture their competitive side with a board game, create a cozy picnic scene, or indulge in a sweet ice cream date. These activities create memorable moments to document.

Remember, your goal is to capture the love, connection, and unique story of each couple. So, embrace the spontaneity, have fun, and let those beautiful narratives unfold in your photos. Happy storytelling! 📷💑

Brides Wish They Could Tell Their Wedding Guests these things 💬✨

📬 SHARE it for a bride who’s not as assertive as you! 💁🏼‍♀️

Hey there, lovely guests! 💐 We’re about to spill some wedding tea ☕, straight from the heart of brides everywhere. Here are 5 things we secretly wish we could tell you not to do at our special day:

1️⃣ **Don’t Be Late!**: We know life happens, but please, try your best to be on time. We want to start the party and savor every moment with you.

✨FOLLOW ME for more wedding tips like these 👇

2️⃣ **Respect the Seating Plan**: We’ve spent hours arranging seating to ensure everyone has a blast. Please don’t go rogue and swap your place without asking.

3️⃣ **Put Away Your Phones**: We’ve hired photographers, so you can relax and enjoy. Don’t block our professional shots with your phone or iPad, and save the social media posts for later!

4️⃣ **Don’t Overload on the Booze**: We love a good time, but please drink responsibly. We don’t want to witness any dance floor disasters (unless they’re the fun kind!).

5️⃣ **Surprises Aren’t Always Fun**: Surprise toasts or speeches? Let’s coordinate with the MC or maid of honor. Surprise dances? Check in with us first. We appreciate the thought, but coordination makes the day run smoother.
