Let’s be real: unless you’re a model or a TikTok natural, the idea of having a camera pointed at you all day can feel… kind of terrifying.

I hear this from NYC couples all the time—“We’re awkward in front of the camera,” “We don’t know how to pose,” “Can you just Photoshop me into someone more relaxed?” 😅

Good news: You’re not alone. Even better news? You absolutely won’t look awkward in your wedding photos.

First Things First: Feeling Awkward Is Totally Normal

Unless you’re getting married on a movie set, chances are you’re not used to being professionally photographed. It’s not about being awkward—it’s about being human.

In fact, some of the most “awkward” couples end up having the most authentic, joyful wedding photos because they’re genuinely themselves.

You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose—That’s My Job

You don’t have to memorize Pinterest poses or worry about what to do with your hands. (Though I do love a good “what do I do with my hands” moment.)

As your photographer, I’ll guide you the entire time—with prompts, direction, and plenty of space to just be yourselves.

Some moments are posed, some are candid, and some are a mix of both. But nothing ever feels stiff or forced. Think of it like hanging out with your partner, with a little bonus hype and encouragement from me in the background.

Let’s Focus on Connection, Not Perfection

Instead of stiff poses and fake smiles, I focus on the real connection between the two of you. Are you silly and playful? Quiet and romantic? Super affectionate? I’ll photograph the vibe that’s already there.

Your photos should look like you—not a version of you pretending to be someone else.

NYC Is the Perfect Distraction

One thing I love about photographing weddings in NYC? There’s always something going on. Between the skyline views, brownstone-lined streets, and buzzing energy, it’s easy to get lost in the moment and forget the camera is even there.

I use the city to your advantage—turning strolls through the West Village or a quiet rooftop moment in Brooklyn into naturally beautiful, documentary-style photos.

Your Engagement Session Is a Game-Changer

If you’re truly worried about feeling awkward, an engagement session is the perfect warm-up. You get to practice being in front of the camera with no pressure, no timeline stress, and no guests watching.

By the time the wedding rolls around, you’ll already know what to expect—and you’ll feel way more relaxed.

I’ve Got You (And I’ve Got a Plan)

Here’s how I help make sure your photos feel like you:

• I get to know your personalities and dynamic as a couple
• I give clear but natural direction so you’re never guessing what to do
• I help create space in your timeline so you’re not rushed
• I keep the vibes fun, relaxed, and judgment-free

Even if you’re camera-shy, I promise you’ll feel confident, connected, and comfortable. And when you see your gallery? You won’t believe how not awkward you look.
