One of the skills you must have as a wedding photographer is the ability to guide a pose from clients that is authentic and characteristic of them and their relationship.

I’d say it’s honestly the most difficult tasks as a photographer, especially a wedding photographer who works with different people on a regular basis.

You want to show and celebrate the couple’s love for each other and show their viewers that this couple absolutely loves each other.

How do you do that?

What I do is set my expectations. Essentially, I completely demolish them going into a session. I immediately have stories in my head, as I work my couples, that I want to see. I’m driven by cinema. I turn their session into a short film and I figure out the way the story is going to go through photography. The story is of the couple just being together. Loving each other as only they know how.

Simple and beautiful. How do I convey a simple and beautiful rendition of their love through my eyes?

Those are the thoughts and roads my mind goes through as I’m working with couples.
