Feeling a bit camera shy? You’re not alone! Most couples haven't spent hours in front of a lens before their big day, but trust me, there's no need to worry.
Here's how to feel confident, relaxed, and like yourselves on your wedding day...
Focus on Each Other, not the camera
This day is all about the two of you. Forget about trying to 'pose' and instead, focus on your connection.
Laugh, whisper sweet things, or just be still together. Let your natural chemistry shine, and it’ll feel more like you’re having a quiet moment than being photographed.
Trust Your Photographer
Choose a photographer whose style resonates with you and trust them to capture your day authentically.
Their aim should be to capture you at your most natural whether that's through laughter, cuddles, or that excited energy you share.
You don’t need to ‘perform’ for the camera. Just be present, and let your photographer take care of the rest.
Practice with an engagement session
If you’re still feeling nervous, an engagement session is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. It’s casual, fun, and you’ll see how easy it can be to just relax and enjoy the moment.
It is also a great way to get to know your photographer and how they make you feel at ease in front of the camera so you're not worried on the big day.
Embrace the Unexpected
Sometimes the best moments are the unplanned ones. Embrace the laughter, the tears, and everything in between. These candid moments often make for the most cherished photos.
Breathe and Be Yourself
Take deep breaths and remember that it’s okay to be yourself. This day is a celebration of your love and unique story. Let your true selves shine through in every shot.
