✨ 3 Tips for Getting Those Swoon-Worthy Wedding Photos ✨

Looking for candid wedding photos that look straight out of a romance movie? Here’s how to make it happen (and avoid looking stiff or awkward):

1️⃣ Steal ALL the Kisses: Lean in like you’re the leads in a rom-com (because you basically are). Whisper something cheesy (or spicy, I won’t judge 😉)—those little moments make for the absolute best photos. 🙌🏼💕

2️⃣ Take it nice and slow, Lovebirds: Your wedding day isn’t a race. Sometimes it can feel like it all went by in a blink of an eye - but I’m here to remind you to pause, soak in the magic, and give me those dreamy, romantic glances. The slower the vibe, the better the shot. Plus, it’s always nice to sneak away for some good ol ‘one on one’ moments throughout the day! 🤍✨

3️⃣ Forget about the camera: This isn’t an awkward prom shoot, it’s a celebration of true love in its purest form. Forget about the standard “stand up straight” and “chin up, head tilt”. In fact, I want to you just ignore me, flirt with each other, and let your chemistry light up the frame. I’m just here to capture all of the magic (and maybe remind you to relax your hands or pull each other in closer). 📸💍

Coastal golden hour magic ✨

Reilly brought effortless elegance and just the right amount of unapologetic confidence to this dreamy sunset beach session. 🌅 Feminine, bold, and absolutely stunning—she didn’t just show up; she owned it. ✨🌊

Also, can we talk about how wild this is? We’ve had such a nice stretch of dry weather that I’ve been out here capturing golden hour sessions on the beach… in NOVEMBER. 😱 Mother Nature really understood the assignment this year, and I’m not mad about it. 🙌🏼✨📷☀️

Your business deserves branding that’s as bold and authentic as you are. 💻✨
