One of the first things Kylie told me that day was “we’re both really, really awkward in front of the camera.” I love it when my couples say that kind of thing at the beginning of a session- my response is always “challenge ACCEPTED.” Because honestly, looking through their images, have you ever seen any two people look less awkward together?

Wedding photographs aren’t about putting on your best Tyra Banks model face, and they’re not about capturing perfection. Wedding photographs, at least, the way I choose to capture them, is about freezing genuine moments in time through the click of a shutter. It’s not about forcing your relationship to look a certain way that it would never look in real life,  it’s about giving you the opportunity to interact the way you already interact, framing that in the best possible light/composition, and pressing the shutter. So when it comes to Abby Grace couples, there’s no such thing as “awkward in front of the camera.” Because you just have to come prepared to be you, to love authentically, and to kiss with abandon. That’s all.

Zac & Kylie, it was an absolute joy to spend this time with you both. I know the weather was awful and that it seemed like the forces of nature were actively working against us, but you both absolutely rocked it. I can’t think of a better way to have spent that afternoon than with you two!
