The majority of my wedding couples are most excited to see all the candid photos taken on their wedding day. Apart from couples portraits, authentic moments captured of family and friends are so important to my couples.

Here is a collection of true, candid moments captured throughout Alyssa and Josh’s wedding day (apart from the first portrait). When this sweet couple first reached out to me, they said they loved the way I “captured real moments and authentic connections.” This wedding day was so joyful and everyone had smiles on their faces the whole day 🤎

One of the best ways to capture my couples authentically is to incorporate movement into our photoshoot! Running, spinning or lifting tends to get people smiling and warmed up in front of the camera.

Many of my clients are worried about being awkward in photos, but end up looking so comfortable and in love by the end of the session 🥰

Before Sam and Ali walked back down the aisle, their dogs had already won everyone over as the ring bearer and flower boy. Getting to document all the joy, quiet moments, and beautiful forest scenery at this wedding was a dream 🤎
