Get Amazing Wedding Pictures...by Being Yourself!
As a bride, you likely have a vision of the kind of wedding pictures you want, and you want a photographer who can get those shots for you. Did you know that one key to getting those pictures is to have the right attitude in front of the camera?
When you step in front of the camera, you might feel awkward. You feel like you don't know what to do, but you know you want your pictures to come out really well!
In this guide, you'll find out more about how you can get the right attitude for the camera
1. You have many of the expressions you need to get the shot!
You obviously need some posing direction, but I'm frequently going to bring out your personality and your relationship to get the actual shot. What do you love about each other? Why are you so excited to tie the knot? What are you looking forward to in the short term and in the long term? Let yourselves sink into each other and your thoughts of marital bliss. These expressions will frequently paint the picture to create memories for a lifetime.
Your relationships with your guests are just as important. Let your emotions show with your guests! Many of the memories, shared experiences, and inside jokes make for great expressions. Everyone's emotions are mixed and brimming. I'll pose you and direct you as required; the rest is a blank canvas that you fill in with the emotions and joy of the night.
2. Let your walls come down.
Tasteful silliness and personality light up your pictures as much as traditional poses create the backbone of your wedding album. Be unconventional. Lead your guests in setting the tone for the night. They're looking to you to see what's ok. Letting your walls down helps them let their walls down. Imagine a day where everyone feels comfortable celebrating together, and that warm, euphoric, electric atmosphere allows you to be present with your guests. You celebrate love in the moment, and I'm there to capture those priceless expressions. That's only possible when you let your walls come down.
3. Let your natural chemistry and charisma create the moment to be captured.
A staged shot can be helpful, but it won't capture you and your relationships. I'll use posing and direction to create a visually pleasing shot that is technically sound. Your chemistry and charisma are necessary to create a masterpiece. Your emotions, chemistry, and energy make the shot powerful. They make it breathe, give it life, and make you breathless when you look at the picture years later. Live in the present and reminisce on the past by sharing your natural chemistry and charisma now.
4. Have fun with the camera
Let yourself open up to the camera. Share yourself with the camera and the photographer. Give yourself permission to discover yourself in a different way with the camera and the photographer. Throughout the day, you'll be able to explore multiple sides of yourself in an ephemeral experience. Those are the memories that everyone will enjoy.

What do instinct and intuition tell you to do? Follow that voice! Let yourself get excited in front of the camera. See the camera as a door to a world of continuous fun and imagination. There will obviously be a shot list, the pictures you need to get to call it a wedding. Apply your imagination to those pictures!
