Capturing Personality in Posed Wedding Photos

Portraits That Actually Feel Like You

Sure, most of your wedding day is best told through candid, real moments—but we both know the posed photos matter too. Your family will want them, and years from now you’ll be glad you have them. My goal? To make your portraits feel natural, relaxed, and full of personality, not stiff or cookie-cutter.

Keeping Family Photos Stress-Free

Family portraits don’t have to take forever (or feel like herding cats). Here’s how I make it easy:

  • I’ll take as many family group shots as you’d like.

  • If you want to keep things short and sweet, I’ll help narrow the list while making sure everyone important shows up in at least one photo.

  • I’ll put together a simple timeline so your crew knows exactly where to be and when. No wandering, no chaos.

Posed Photos Can Be Fun (Really!)

When you know what to expect, posed photos don’t feel like a chore. I’ll guide you just enough to make everyone look their best, but I’ll also encourage real smiles, inside jokes, and a little goofiness if that’s your vibe.

The Perfect Balance

At the end of the day, your gallery will be a mix: plenty of candid, in-the-moment shots plus the classic portraits that every family treasures. Quick, meaningful, and not nearly as painful as people expect.
