Five gentle ideas for wedding portraits that feel like you

First, leave breathing room in your timeline. Ten calm minutes can be worth more than half an hour between delays. Second, choose a place where you can move naturally.

Third, do not worry about every hand and every glance. A photographer’s guidance should help you feel comfortable, not ask you to play a part. Fourth, embrace the weather — clouds and rain have a character of their own.

And fifth, look at the person beside you. The most meaningful photograph often happens between the planned ones.
