Presence over posing

Whether you're going fully candid for your wedding or half candid/half posed-- the theater kid in me always thinks its helpful for couples to consider how they interact physically. I love when couples notice that they aren't big huggers or kissers, but they love holding arms or hands. Or even pinkies. I know some of y'all out there really only feel good about holding pinkies in public. And I'm here to tell you, I can work with that. Or, vise versa, maybe you're all over each other and feel more than comfortable giving hugs and kisses in public than anyone you know.
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.
Start noticing how you move together, where you naturally gravitate, and what expressions feel the most “you.” It’s subtle, but incredibly helpful as you prepare for your wedding day.
Think of it less like a list of poses and more like a vibe-check. You can check out my guide here:
