Here is the straight up deal. 80% of the day is straight photojournalism, where you wont even realize I’m there. However, sometimes, I’m going to have to pose you, although most of the stuff I’ll be shooting will be more natural. Most of the time I’ll be pretty far away using a telephoto lens, so I wont be right up in your faces…but not always. You’re probably going to be sweaty, and super hot in your suit outside, and that’s not comfortable. I’ll bring extra water and you’ll have a shirt to change into later. While you might be uncomfortable in the heat, you’re also going to get to have some quality time with your wife on your wedding day. You’re going to be able to snuggle in, to kiss her, to wrap your arms around her, to tell her that she looks incredible (because she will). Even if you aren’t the type that loves being photographed, I want you to remember why you are marrying her. I’m asking you to give her this gift- this gift of patience. I am asking you to give her a photo session that is fun and loving for her wedding, to be excited about kissing her, loving her, spinning her around and snuggling in. Because if you do that, those photos will remind her every day how amazing she felt on her wedding day, and how much she loves you. The thing is, photos capture more than just images- they capture memory of the emotions you were experiencing. Years down the road she can look back on these photos and still remember how she felt – for better or for worse.
