Hot take 👀 you should find a photographer that you can SEE yourself in their photos. Not from a 2 million dollar budget wedding. Not from a styled session. Not from a flawless models with perfect stoic faces (although Julia + Brandon have top tier stoic faces, see last slide for proof.)
Maybe it’s TikTok and reels or maybe we’ve just lost the plot. Inspiration is good. Using the internet for ideas is wonderful. Call me crazy but holding yourself to standards from the most beautiful people in the most beautiful location with an unlimited budget may set you up for disappointment.
Your wedding is for YOU. Your engagement photos are for YOU. Your memories are for YOU! Your love. Your family.
You, with the venue you chose, and the florist you hired, and hopefully a photographer (me) that will give you beautiful poses in wonderful lighting that will FEEL as good as they look. You. And it’ll be beautiful. 💕
