5 tips for camera shy couples

Hi future newlyweds Smiley heart

Are you camera shy? I definitely am! Smiley laugh Let's face this together with these few tips...

5 tips for camera shy couples

1. Get comfortable with your wedding photographer

Find someone you get along with! You can also opt for a pre-wedding (engagement) shoot to become more familiar with your photographer and the camera.

2. Ask for journalistic style

Opt for a journalistic style where your photographer can blend in and take candid pictures and capture intimate moments with your loved ones.

3. Be natural

You might be looking at other pictures to find inspiration and try to reproduce their poses... That's not the way to go. Just be natural and let your photographer work his magic!

4. Enjoy the moment

Whether you are taking pictures with your family, friends, enjoy the time you are spending together. Make jokes! Remember loving moments, enjoy!

5. Talk to your photographer

If you feel less comfortable with certain poses, feel more natural in others, tell your photographer! You should feel comfortable on your big day!

    That's great that he enjoyed the engagement shoot! He'll be so happy and so in love on your wedding day that I'm sure he'll totally forget about being camera shy! Can't wait to see those pics!

    I definitely agree with these tips and same goes for videographers! I wish we had had a chance to meet in person before the wedding so he could have gotten more of a feel for us. (We skyped but it's not quite the same.) Some of his suggestions for video shots were like "yeah.... we're not doing that." We'll see how the video turns out!

    We are both super nervous about the wedding photos. We just booked our photographers and we seem to get along with them really well and we are planning on doing an engagement shoot to get more comfortable with them. I am sure it will all be okay....Smiley xd

    I hate my photo being taken, but I'm close with both my photographers so I think I'll be okay!

    I am very photogenic and love taking photos! My FH on the other hand was extremely nervous about that part... Our photograher is super fun though and gets along great with us both and after our engagement shoot he said to me "that was a lot more fun then I thought it would be"!!! So I think he is now prepared for the wedding!
