“We’re really awkward in photographs.”
Honestly? I hear this all the time.”
“And after 19 years of photographing weddings, I’ve learnt that most people who say they’re terrible in photographs aren’t actually terrible in photographs.
Years of having bad photographs taken of you has resulted in lack of confidence.
My job isn’t to turn you into models. I’m not going to spend ten minutes arranging your hands, moving your head two centimetres to the left and telling you to smile.
Instead, I give you a bit of direction when you need it and then let you interact naturally.
Grab a moment alone, Sit Down together, Walk together. Chat. Have a laugh. Be yourselves.
Some of my favourite photographs happen in those few seconds when a couple forgets I’m there.
So if you’re worried about being awkward in front of the camera, don’t be.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
That’s my job.”
