📸 No More Stiff Poses: How to Get Natural Wedding Photos You’ll Love

Written By Ben Menendez

St. Louis Wedding Photography That Captures the Real You

Not everyone wants to stand still and smile for the camera—and that’s okay. More and more couples are ditching overly posed shots in favor of natural, authentic wedding photography that tells a real love story.

Here’s how we do it:

🧡 1. We Make You Forget There’s a Camera

One of the biggest compliments we get is: “We didn’t even notice you were there.”
That’s our goal. We stay in the background and let the moments unfold naturally—no awkward directions, no fake smiles.

📷 2. Prompts, Not Poses

Instead of stiff positioning, we give you simple prompts:

  • “Whisper something funny in their ear.”

  • “Take a walk like it’s your first date.”

  • “Look at each other and think about your vows.”

These lead to laughter, connection, and genuine emotion—aka the stuff you want to remember.

🎉 3. Focus on Interaction, Not Perfection

We prioritize movement, energy, and emotion over flawless posture or perfect angles. We love the in-between moments:

  • A shared glance during dinner

  • The way your parents look at you

  • The real smile after the posed one

🪞 4. Everyone Looks Better When They’re Comfortable

When you’re relaxed, your true self shines through. We don’t just take photos—we create an atmosphere where you feel free to be yourselves.
