How We Photograph Candid Moments, Emotion Every Week


We often meet with couples who say “I hate getting my picture taken”, “I only like candid photos/I don’t like posed photos”, or “Can you just tell us what to do because we’re both awkward in front of the camera”. Does this sound like you? If so, have no fear. It’s actually our job to make this part of your wedding go as seamless as possible.

Getting to know our couples is so important to us. Knowing how you met, what your interests are and just simply getting to know your different personalities helps us figure out what we want to capture and how to capture it. We love a great candid photo, however, they’re not always the most flattering. One trick we use to get that perfect candid photo is to help you pose a certain way that is flattering for both, then we ask you to simply talk to each other. Sometimes, just asking you to talk, doesn’t work, so we step it up a notch with a little more guidance. We then ask one of you to whisper to your partner, your favorite cereal in a sexy voice. This always brings out laughs. Honestly, regardless of what trick we use to bring our those laughs, those loving glances at each other, or those magazine worthy poses, leave it up to us to help. All we ask is that you be your wonderful happy selves.
