Wedding Portraits: A Quick Guide for the Couple

Making the most of your time together in front of the camera

Your wedding day is full of emotions, and the couple portraits are a moment to breathe, connect, and enjoy each other.

💡 What to Expect During Couple Portraits

• We'll usually spend 20–30 minutes alone together, away from the guests.

• I’ll guide you through natural poses and movements so you look great without feeling stiff.

• If you initially feel awkward, that’s completely normal – trust the process!

🕒 Timing is Everything

• The best light is usually one hour before sunset (the famous “golden hour”).

• If time is tight, we’ll adapt and keep the flow efficient without losing the magic.

👗👞 Details to Keep in Mind

• Brides: bring flip-flops or comfy shoes if we’ll be walking between locations.

• Grooms: make sure your pockets are empty – it looks cleaner in photos.

• A trusted friend or family member can help carry your bouquet, veil, or extra items.

📸 What Works Best in Photos

• Natural movement: walking slowly, holding hands, turning toward each other.

• Don’t worry about the perfect pose – a small laugh or glance can say everything.

• Focus on each other, not the camera – the connection is what makes the image powerful.

💬 Help Me Understand Your Style

• Please send 3 to 5 sample photos you love (from Pinterest, Instagram, etc.).

• Choose images with a similar background or lighting to your venue if possible.

• Let me know what you like: the mood, composition, color tone, or posing.

🎯 Must-Have Shots or Ideas

• If there’s a location, pose, or special item you want included, let me know in advance.

• If you’re camera-shy, we’ll ease into it with relaxed shots first.

💬 Final Note

• These portraits are not just for the album – they’re a moment of calm and connection in your big day.

• Relax, enjoy the experience, and trust that I’ll guide you every step of the way.
