"We're so awkward in front of the camera..."
I've lost count of how many couples have said this to me over the years, and yet you'd never know it when you see their photos.
Larnel & Dale were one of those couples who worried about being photographed. Then this beautiful message landed in my inbox:
"Thank you beautiful Lou, we absolutely love love the pictures. They made us cry. Thank you so much for truly capturing 'us' on our special day. It is so wonderful looking through them with a massive smile on our face, as you not only captured the special intimate moments, you also captured the laughter and spontaneous moments we shared."
And that's exactly what I want for every couple.
Not stiff poses. Not awkward smiles.
Just the two of you being yourselves, laughing, cuddling, celebrating and soaking up one of the best days of your lives.
With 20+ years behind the camera, including my background as a press photographer, I've learnt how to help people feel comfortable quickly so those real moments can shine through.
Because years from now, I want your photos to bring back the feeling, not just show you what happened.
If you're planning a Sunshine Coast wedding and feeling a little camera shy, send me a DM or enquire via my website. I'd love to help you feel completely at ease.
