What If We’re Awkward in Front of the Camera?
“We’re not photogenic” — every couple says this
And almost every couple is wrong.
Most people aren’t bad in photos — they’re just uncomfortable being directed or judged.
Why documentary photography works for real people
As an inclusive wedding photographer, my job isn’t to change you — it’s to observe you.
That means:
- No forced poses
- No fake laughter
- No pressure to perform
You don’t need to know what to do. You just need to be present.
What actually creates natural photos
- Movement instead of posing
- Conversation instead of silence
- Trust instead of control
If you’re planning an alternative wedding in London or beyond and want photos that feel like you, this approach matters more than you think.
