It’s actually a phrase that our couples taught us, would tell us just how blown away they are by their portraits and they look like celebrities in a magazine. Now, we love to use this phrase to sum up that chic, Editorial style that is so popular right now. Whatever the wedding, with the right approach and an attention to detail in the edit, you can be creating magazine worthy portraits for your couples this year!

Yes and no. We share a specific approach that we take to capturing relaxed, authentic portraits on any wedding, and this will transform how you work with your couples whatever style you have. However, if you are an Editorial Wedding Photographer, or you’d like to be, then you’ll get even more out of this course!

Yes! Our whole approach to capturing portraits of our couples is based around building comfort, connection and trust. One of the key things we do on every wedding is make sure we’re getting great shots in the bag really early on, which gives us the time and the confidence to get creative. The approach we take was developed to break that cycle of ‘going through the motions’ with our couples, and we share stacks of our favourite natural poses that you can use start trying something new!

Yes, yes, yes! We hated it when it used to feel like we were making our couples take the photos. Nothing made us feel less valued, and more stressed out on the day. In this course we teach the approach we take before and on the day that makes sure our couples enjoy their time in front of the camera, and we enjoy our time behind it!

The approach we teach inside this course has been fundamental to our success… Our ability to create beautiful, relaxed portraits on even the most challenging weddings, with even the most awkward couples, has helped us build a business that thrives. It sounds funny, but our whole business is built around helping couples who aren’t really comfortable in front of the camera coming away from their wedding with stunning portraits they can’t believe they get to have. Anyone can take a great portrait of a confident couple who can work the camera, if you can learn to take incredible portraits of couple’s who are anxious about having their photos taken you’ll be so valuable to so many couples!

Neither do we! But a few years ago we realised something… So many couples hire documentary photographers because they don’t want to feel posed in front of the camera, but then they actually feel a little self conscious because they don’t know what to do. Sounding a little familiar? We realised that we could find ways to pose our couples that still felt natural, and so they still felt like themselves in the images - but they looked GREAT! By embracing some simple posing, we help our couples come away with beautiful portraits they’ll treasure forever, and not have to feel posed or awkward on the day!

We don’t include on the day footage in any of our videos, because we simply don’t capture it! We are wedding photographers first, and educators second - as a result, we value our couple’s experience and we don’t capture footage on the day.

Inside the course we’ll show you photo examples and talk you through our approach, which demonstrates effectively how we actually capture those photos on the day.
