“I’m not very photo genetic.’ Sound familiar? Well you’re not alone in the bad photography camp. I believe everyone can be photo genetic if given an environment that’s relaxing, fun and a safe place for them to be themselves. The bad photos happen when you’re thinking to hard about what the photo will look like. Or you just freeze up and make the cheesemo smile. And yea cheesemo is a word in my book.
It does take time to get to that feeling of comfort and you can just be yourself. That’s why I feel an engagement session (couples session in my book) is so important. It gives you and your photographer friend time to get to know each other. Time to get familiar with the camera and what your photographer does behind it. If you don’t have the luxury of doing a Couple’s Session then be sure to schedule extra time for the two of you on the wedding day. Believe me it’ll be even harder to relax the day of. There’s so many things happening and you constantly feel like you need to be somewhere. Even if you had a Couple’s Session a little extra time the day of isn’t a bad thing at all.
Just relax and don’t over think it. The best thing you can do is enjoy your partners company and love on each other. Your photos will me amazing and you’ll look gorgeous! Especially if you have an amazing photographer.
