Every day the phone rings and a bride wants to know if I am available on such and such a date for their wedding. When I say that I am available, often the next thing the bride says is, "We don't want posed pictures."
My first reaction is to take them at their word. Sure, I would love to photograph your entire wedding day with no posed photos, no problem. But, wouldn't your parents want a really sweet picture of you in your dress with your flowers?
"Yes, I want some nice pictures, but I hate that posed look." Of course! No one wants that posed look, like the deer caught in the headlights.
But look at this natural light portrait of Sunny: All moms - and most brides - want this type of posed portrait. If the bride likes this style of classic portraiture, we also take a few minutes to create timeless close-up and full length portraits with a variety of expressions.
