Why You Need a Storytelling Elopement Photographer

Want dreamy wedding or elopement photos that are cinematic and dreamlike?

Yes? Ok, you’ll need a storytelling photographer then.

Here’s the thing: you won’t get those movie-like photos if all the photos are posed. A traditional photographer focuses on capturing your "best" moments—flawless skin, your lover looking deep into your eyes.

A storytelling photographer just wants to frame feeling.

I get it, some people want those perfect photos. I mean, it is your wedding night! BUT to get photos that look like a movie, you need to feel like you are in one too.

Messages like "suck in your stomach" and "smile with your teeth" will make you go inward.

Encouragement to release your stomach, smile only if you please, to dance and breathe in ways that feel free… will allow you to be seen in a way that honors your essence.
