Why I love capturing couples: From a Central Coast engagement photographer.

As a Central Coast elopement and wedding photographer, I love capturing couples and capturing love. Something I love is when couples opt to get their photos taken outside of their wedding day. Some couples choose to head down to route of engagement photography. And don’t get me wrong, capturing this moment in your life is an all-time highlight of of mine. As a Central Coast engagement photographer, I’m always honoured to get to be a part of this moment. But when a couple chooses to get have a couples session, just because. This is my favourite.

So why should you invest in couples photography? I’ll keep it short but in essence, couples photography is not only a great way to update your photos, get photos that aren’t selfies and also a new way to spend time together. They create memories. As a Central Coast engagement photographer, one thing that my couples always come back and tell me is how fun the session was, and this is why I love capturing couples.

Often before a session, couples are a little nervous, anxious and very camera-shy. But the minute they realise that couples photography is more than just a few quick ”Look at me” sort of photos and is more of a date, an hour of romance, or playing like kids and quality time together. The tone changes, and couples have so much fun in the moment, and this creates lifelong memories.

I often say that a couples session is an investment. It’s an investment in memories, an investment in comfort and an investment in yourself.

Recently, I had the opportunity to capture my friends Sophie and Emily for a fun, candid couples session, and it was so much fun. It reminded me exactly why I love capturing couples and creating these memories for them.

As members of the LGBTQIA community, it can be hard to feel comfortable in front of the camera and find LGBT photographers. But being as an LGBT photographer myself, it made it so I could create this safe space for them and really let their love shine through and create some honestly beautiful moments.

If you’re looking at investing in couples photography or are on the hunt for a Central Coast elopement photographer or Central Coast engagement photographer, I would love to hear from you and create these memories!
