The crazy wedding season is over and I’m basically caught up with editing, so I decided to work on something else until things get crazy again. With that, I’m trying to solve a lot of the problems my couples continuesouly run into. My goal is to make the whole wedding process as easy as possible, so if I can solve a problem before it happens, that’s amazing.
The biggest issue that I run into is that people tell me they are awkward and aren’t good at taking photos. Now, I don’t know if this is true or not, but that’s how they feel. What I tend to see is people say that, and then I do a session with them and they totally rock it.
That got me thinking. Maybe there is something about how I do photo shoots that help people naturally relax and get rid of that awkwardness. If I could get those things and get them to couples earlier, then they will be feeling better even sooner.
That’s where the 3 Day Awkward to Awesome Photo Challenge started. I’ve put together 3 prompts that will help couples get past that awkwardness and realize that they can look amazing in photos. Each day they get a prompt and each day they take a photo. Super simple.
Initially, I was putting this whole challenge together for engaged couples, but then I started thinking. There are plenty of married couples or non-engaged couples that could use this as well. Really it’s for any couple that is struggling with how they feel in photos.
The Challenge started today and I’ve already seen a few really great photos. I can’t wait to see more and hear how this has affected people.
I’ll be running this challenge again in the future and maybe a few others. Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas for other challenges I can do relating to the problems engaged couples face.
