One of the most common things couples say before their wedding is:

“We’re not great on camera.”

That’s completely normal.

The good news is, you don’t need to be.

You’re Not Expected to Perform

A wedding day isn’t a photoshoot or a production. You’re not meant to act, pose, or “do anything special” for the camera.

The goal is to let you be yourselves.

When couples feel comfortable, the film reflects that. When they feel watched or directed, it shows too.

Comfort Comes From Trust

Feeling relaxed on camera has less to do with experience and more to do with who you’re working with.

A calm, unobtrusive presence allows moments to happen naturally. Most couples are surprised afterward by how little they noticed the filming happening at all.

That’s intentional.

Focus on Each Other, Not the Camera

The easiest way to forget the camera is to stay focused on what matters:

Your partner
Your people
The meaning of the day

When your attention is where it should be, everything else fades into the background.

A Simple Conversation Helps

If comfort is a concern, talking it through ahead of time makes a big difference. Expectations, boundaries, and priorities are easy to align with a short conversation.
