​I've put together this guide to help you consider what it would look like to have presence over posing. While I'm always happy to direct and prompt you to do things that feel real and candid, I also want you to feel aware of how you feel in your body. I encourage my couples to look through this guide on a date night and to practice some of the ways you can be "present" with one another physically.

​ Vows are not always about being poetic or perfect — it’s about being you. Whether you're funny, serious, romantic, or reserved, this guide gives you structure, ideas, and prompts to help you put your heart into words. Write them from your heart and make sure you're on the same page as your future spouse when it comes to what you're saying--- and you'll be golden. :)

It should feel like a conversation — one where you leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more excited about your day. Connected to the photographer you just talked to.

Whether you've got a quick 2 hour celebration in the books or have an 8 hour day planned, I love to encourage couples to start thinking through what the timeline of their wedding day will look like-- especially as it pertains to photography-- about 1-2 months before their wedding.

As a photographer who combines both candid and editorial approaches to sessions, I really like to remind anyone, whether they're a couple, family, or individual that it's still worth mentally and physically preparing for a photo session, whether it's candid or not.

A few years ago I started approaching my photo sessions with a cinematic meets candid meets editorial approach. I wanted couples to feel like their story was being told, but from an elevated cinematic standpoint. One of the ways I helped couples feel like main characters who are comfortable in front of a camera was through my Posing Prompts guide.
