Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
We hear it all the time… we’re seriously going to need your help, or we’re so awkward in pictures, or we’re totally not photogenic!
Our couples see engagement and wedding images from other weddings and think, man I wish we looked that good in photos.
Let me tell you…I’VE BEEN THERE. The first time Kaleb and I had our photos taken as a couple, I felt so awkward! We talk about it all the time. I think he’s the only reason our photos turn out. He thinks that’s nonsense. As a photographer, I find that every couple is different, but every couple has the potential to take stunning photos together!
So if you find yourself in that boat, telling me, I’m just not photogenic!, here are the words I have for you:
It’s my job as your photographer to make you feel comfortable in front of my camera, and I will do everything I can to do just that! Relax and let us do the work! We study posing and body language. Our goal is to make you look your best and we’ll give you direction to look and feel amazing in your photos! We practice moving our couples to the blissful state of mind where they forget we’re even there. We LOVE capturing your authentic love and story, and we will.
When you’re comfortable in what you’re wearing, you feel more confident and collected. Show off your style in the clothes you love to wear. If you feel questionable about an outfit, leave it at home.
One of the best parts about engagement, wedding, and anniversary sessions is that you’re getting your photo taken with the love of you life! Ignore us, and instead focus on the person next to you! The way you’re head over heels for the love of your life is one of the best, most beautiful sights in the whole world! Don't be afraid to make each other laugh, get close, and interact like you would if it were just the two of you on a date night together.
Regardless of your insecurities, your story is worth telling. Your love is worth capturing.
So take a deep breath, be yourself, and let us capture YOU GUYS, just the way you are together!
