Real Beach Weddings

I often describe that you have to "feel comfortable" with your photographer but what exactly does this mean? I believe that if you are having a wonderful time getting your photographs taken you can relax and show your true love for one another. This does not happen by having a stuffy photographer setting you up for "candid" poses and randomly running around shooting every which way. It takes a trained eye and trained personality to have you in the right place at the right moment while making you feel relaxed to get what I call the "show the love" photos. This photograph could have been "posed" looking at the camera or at each other-it wouldn't give the look it has though. It has the look of love because Joey is actually pulling Josie towards him to whisper in her ear. I simply told them to stand in a place I knew would look hot with the sun flare in the background and teased him saying that "Why does he have to make us all stand on the beach taking these photos?" and that "It is all his idea", of course it was not. Saying this relaxed him into grabbing her for this beautiful shot-you see the love in it and I strive for this with every couple. - Julie
