We know that stepping in front of the camera isn’t something most people do every day. Maybe you're worried about what to do with your hands, or you’re afraid of looking stiff or awkward. Trust us—you’re not alone! Most of our couples start their session telling us, “We’re so awkward in photos,” but by the end, they’re laughing, moving naturally, and wondering why they ever felt nervous in the first place. Our job isn’t just to take pretty pictures—it’s to guide you, hype you up, and help you feel like your most natural, confident self.

So, what’s our process for helping you feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera?

First, we always recommend scheduling the engagement session that’s included in your package. Think of it as a fun, low-pressure way to practice before the big day. You’ll get to experience our style, see how we direct and pose you, and most importantly—get comfortable in front of the camera. By the time your wedding day arrives, we won’t be strangers—we’ll be friends, and you’ll know exactly what to expect.

During your session, we focus on movement and natural interactions instead of stiff, forced poses. We’ll guide you with fun prompts, playful directions, and little moments that bring out your personality. Whether it’s whispering inside jokes, dancing to your favorite song, or just taking a deep breath together, we promise you won’t feel like you’re being “posed” at all.

Oh, and did we mention? We’re total goofballs, and we love making our couples laugh. Our goal isn’t just to capture beautiful images—it’s to make sure you actually enjoy the process. So come ready to have fun, let loose, and let us capture your love story in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

At Love & Story Photography, we believe that the best photos come from real, unfiltered moments. Whether it’s an engagement session or your wedding day, we’re here to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and most of all—like yourself.
