When I refer to prompt-based posing, I’m not really prompting a ‘pose’. I’m prompting a moment, an exchange, a memory. Often, I’m planting a seed of a new memory. I’m here to direct, to inspire and to guide you through being photographed on your wedding day. It’s not about faking a moment but setting the stage for authentic ones to unfold.
Candid moments are often requested by couples, but many don’t realize that true candids can sometimes result in unflattering angles or backgrounds that distract from the beauty of the moment. While they may seem effortless, the reality is that candid photos require a thoughtful approach to ensure they’re both flattering and meaningful. With prompt-based posing I can bridge this gap, blending fun, active photos with quieter, more introspective moments that capture the full spectrum of your relationship. Instead of telling you to “stand there and smile,” I guide you into interactions that feel authentic and natural.
While I love a great candid moment, the reality of a wedding day is that chaos often reigns. That’s why I focus on creating a calm and intentional space during key parts of the day—getting ready, formal portraits, and couple’s sessions. By cultivating this environment, I ensure that we capture what matters most without losing the magic of the day. This balance between direction and spontaneity is where the magic happens. You feel at ease, and I get to work capturing the moments that truly reflect your relationship.
The best wedding photos don’t just show what you looked like; they show who you are. Prompt-based posing allows me to document the nuances of your connection—the way you naturally gravitate toward each other, the way your laughter fills the room, the way you hold hands like it’s second nature.
These are the moments that define your story. They’re intimate, emotional, and, most importantly, real.
During this time, I’ll use prompt-based posing with your wedding party, encouraging them to share emotional and fun moments with you, creating an atmosphere of joy and connection. These interactions set the tone for the day while allowing me to capture genuine reactions and heartfelt moments
This is where we have the most fun. I’ll guide you into prompts that evoke a range of emotions—from playful laughter to quiet intimacy. By layering in a few extra moments for reflection or shared excitement about the day, these portraits become a visual story of your love.
Prompts are key to wedding party formals because they encourage genuine interactions and relaxed energy. Instead of stiff poses, they spark laughter and natural connections, creating photos that feel lively, authentic, and full of personality
As the most formal part of the day, this session is structured but still allows room for transformation. With gentle guidance, even posed family photos can capture the warmth and connections between your loved ones.
Once the party starts, I shift into a documentary style, capturing the real-time joy and emotion as it unfolds. But I don’t just blend into the background—you’ll find me right in the middle of the dance floor, camera in hand, sharing in the celebration to ensure no moment is missed.
When you look at your wedding gallery, I want you to see more than photos from your wedding day. I want you to see you and the love of your life. It’s not about faking a moment but setting the stage for authentic ones to unfold.
This is the heart of what I do: creating an environment where you can be yourself while capturing the emotions and connections that make your wedding day uniquely yours.
When you look back on your wedding photos years from now, I want you to remember how it felt to hold hands for the first time as a married couple, to laugh uncontrollably during your best friend’s speech, and to share a quiet moment together amidst the joyous chaos. Working within a controlled environment allows me to create these genuine moments by fostering a space where you feel at ease, letting your true emotions shine through.
