Helloooo friends and family!! Can you believe we’re almost at the wedding day?! Our sweet couple has opted for photography coverage that feels down to earth and focused on lived experiences rather than curating a specific portfolio of images. It may feel a bit different than other weddings you’ve been to where the photographer needs things to be “just right.” Our version of “right” is watching the day unfold with your gorgeous face in it! Anyone at this wedding is a part of the full story, and you deserve to be included; no need to try and get out of the way when my camera seems to point in your direction!
I am so excited to be able to capture all of your giggles, tears, sentimental glances, hugs, and even scrunchy faces after a tequila shot. No need to fluff the train, stand in a perfect line, or even be concerned about where to put your hands. (But if you’re still concerned…pockets are a good option, and if you don’t have those, hugs are great!!) Your only job is to be present, enjoy the day, and support the couple in their best day.
I’ll say yes to any request, but won’t request anything of you! We are just setting aside a small amount of time for posed family photos. Everything else is loosely structured, based around spending quality time. But don’t hesitate to say “hey Athena can we get a photo of us?!” Heck yes you can!
Let’s embrace the day as it unfolds, rather than stopping a moment in order to make it camera ready. Everything is camera ready as it naturally exists <3
See you soon!
Athena
