PoseSuite · Must-have standard shots

Must-have shots for your wedding day.

As an experienced wedding photographer, the classic moments are second nature. I'm already watching for these throughout your day. Instead of building a long list of every single photo you want, use this page to uncheck anything that doesn't feel necessary for you.

Everything that stays checked will be treated as a must-have standard shot for your day.

Specific inspiration requests

If there are a few images you'd really love me to keep in mind — a favorite Pinterest photo, a classic shot from your venue, or a family tradition we recreate at every gathering — you can upload up to six here. I'll treat these as special requests and keep them handy on your day-of PoseSuite view.
