How to Feel Comfortable in Front of the Camera

By Alex Morgan

Most people don’t love having their photo taken. The good news: you don’t need to know how to pose.

Focus on each other, not the lens

The best portraits happen when you forget the camera is there. Walk, talk, hold hands, and tell each other a story only you two know.

Movement over stillness

Gentle movement keeps things natural. A slow walk, a spin, or a quiet whisper will always look more like you than a held pose.

Book an engagement session

A relaxed session before the wedding is the easiest way to get comfortable with your photographer, and you’ll arrive on the day already knowing how it feels.
