You don’t need to be confident. You just need to be you.
You don’t need to know what to do with your hands.
You don’t need to fake a laugh.
You don’t need to “pose.”
Because the best wedding photos—the ones where you look like your happiest, most effortless self—happen when you stop performing and start feeling.
Here’s how I help you get natural, beautiful photos—even if you’re camera shy:
1. We start before the wedding day.
I always connect with my couples before the wedding—emails, voice notes, even a quick Zoom if you like—so I can understand you. Your story. What you love (and what you don’t).
You’re not just another booking to me. I want to feel like a trusted friend who happens to have a camera. That comfort is everything.
2. You don’t pose. You just interact.
Forget the Pinterest poses. I’ll give gentle direction when needed, but I’m much more interested in how you two move together.
I might say “walk toward each other like it’s the first time you’ve seen each other in a week, ” or “hold each other like you don’t want to let go.” It’s not about how it looks. It’s about how it feels—and that always shows up on camera.
3. I shoot the in-between moments.
The real magic often happens when you think I’m not shooting—the way your fingers lace together, the soft looks across a crowded room, the little nervous laughs.Those are the photos that make people say, “That’s so us.”
4. I’ll never ask you to fake anything.
If a moment feels awkward or forced, we skip it. No cheesy grins or cringey posing here.
What I will do is create space. For real connection. For quiet. For wild joy. For whatever the day brings.
Because the photos should reflect you—not a version of you that feels staged or stiff.
But what if I really hate being photographed?
You are exactly the kind of bride I love working with.
Shy. Introverted. Awkward. Self-conscious.
I’ve heard it all—and I’ve photographed it all beautifully.
My job isn’t to turn you into someone else.
It’s to help you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.
And once that happens? That’s when the magic begins.
You deserve photos that feel like you. Natural. Emotional. Real.

Lusy completely understood that we wanted photos that were uniquely us but classic in style, and professionalised our vision. She also managed to get some great ceremony shots of key moments without being intrusive. Communication was excellent from the start and we had a short briefing meeting where she provided some helpful pointers on group shots. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and organised — the kind of person you want on your wedding day.
