Not a Fan of Being Photographed? Here’s How I Make It Feel Easy, Fun, and Completely You

Let’s get something out of the way:
Most people don’t love being in front of the camera.

And I totally get it.

You’re not a model. You’re not used to posing. You don’t want your wedding day to feel like a photo shoot — you want it to feel like you.

That’s exactly why I photograph weddings the way I do:
With feeling. With intention. With just enough direction to make you feel confident — and enough freedom to make it real.

It’s about trust, not performance.

The couples I photograph aren’t performers. They’re real people — just like you.
They want to look good, yes, but more than that?
They want to look like themselves.

That’s why I take the time to understand your energy, your comfort zone, and your dynamic together. I show up calm and grounded so you can feel the same. I help you feel seen — not staged.

What you’ll end up with?

Photos that feel like memories.

Not just pretty portraits (although we’ll get those too), but the kind of images that make you feel something when you look at them years from now.

Images that tell the story of your wedding day — not how perfect you looked, but how deeply you loved.

So if you’re camera shy?

That’s okay.
In fact, it might make your photos even better — because you’ll show up as you, not a version you think you’re supposed to be.

And that’s where the magic happens.
