How to Feel Natural in Wedding Photos (Even If You Hate the Camera)

“We’re awkward in photos.”
“We have no idea what to do with our hands.”
“We’re not photogenic.”

If we had a dollar for every time we heard that, we’d probably be answering this from a beach somewhere. And yet—almost every couple who says it ends up with photos that feel effortless, emotional, and completely them.
