Matt and Molly!!!

Matt and Molly had the sweetest wedding at the beautiful Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens. They shared their special day with their closest family and friends. This couple was so sweet together and I am so very happy for them both!!

I love this sweet pose. They look so romantic together. The key to my posing is to catch real life moments where my couples are being authentic. Every couple has their own way of being with one another and it’s important for me to connect with them in that way. When I was starting out as a photographer, I researched many articles about posing and how to take great portraits. Here are some tips on how to put together a couples photo session. https://www.pixpa.com/blog/couple-poses-guide

The perfect dip.
