Most of the time, he's there because she asked.

And that's fine. That's actually how most of my best couples shots happen. He shows up, maybe not really wanting to be there, she's a bit nervous about how it'll go, and somewhere in the middle of it, things workout. .

I wrote a whole post about this for the reluctant dads. Link in bio.

People come back to photos like this twenty years later and say: I'm so glad we have this. I didn't realise how young he/she was. I forgot we used to do that.

Not one of them ever says: I wish she'd looked different. Here is a link to an article I wrote for mums who are worried about how they think they look in photos.

One of the things I love about photographing events is pulling guests aside for two minutes when the light is good. No planning, no prep, just a quick "come stand over here" and you've got a photo you'd never have otherwise.
