Attire

Don’t worry, we get asked that a lot, and you’re not the first! 

As a rule of thumb, the photo always look better when couples fit seamlessly into the environment. And to ensure that, it always better to avoid wearing something that screams for attention (strong colours, complicated prints, stripes, polka dots, etc.)

Soft pastel colours are always a great choice for ladies. 

And because guys tend to perspire a little more (we get you, bro), white, dark blue or black tops will always be a safe choice. Sweat patches can be quite an eye-sore! 

Safe Space

Pick an environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself. 

As our sessions are a little more private and intimate, couples are usually more comfortable being and expressing themselves when in a more private and quiet environment. Hence, it will be good to avoid the busy streets or crowded alleys. 

But of course, we will be more than happy to recommend a few personal favourite of ours if you need help picking a location. 

Embrace it all

Embrace the rocks, the dirt, the wind blowing in your hair, and all the other spontaneous and “imperfect” elements.

If we have to stop between each shot to flatten out your hair or pick the branches out of your dress, the whole natural spontaneity will be thrown off.

So just let it go.

Keep your hands free

Don’t worry about the extra stuff you think you might need.

I want you to be light on your feet and easily mobile, because I'll shoot all those little in-between moments.

Extra props or bags tend to make spontaneous shooting more difficult, so minimalism is the way to go.

Raw & Imperfect

More often than not, the most precious photos are often the seemingly “imperfect” ones -

an out-of-focus image of your gentle smiles,
an incidental shot of your hair slapping your partner’s face or
a frame of your quiet embrace.

Moments that are raw and fleeting. So forget about the perfect shots, but embrace the fleeting moments. 

Let them in

Let your walls down and invite your partner in.

Be open in your conversations, and generous with your touches. Embrace the goofy laughter and the quiet vulnerable moments.

I will, of course, guide you through all this as we shoot, but I need you to meet me halfway and allow me to.

Honesty is mandatory. Vulnerability is encouraged.
