Worried about Looking Awkward
in front of the camera?

No one wants to look like a cardboard cutout on their wedding day.

Maybe you’ve seen those albums where everyone looks like they’re auditioning for a royal portrait. Maybe your fiancé’s already said, “I hate taking pictures.” 

You’re the couples we LOVE working with.

If you feel awkward, you’ll look awkward. And you didn’t spend months planning your wedding day just to look like you want to escape the camera.

So we do things differently at Moments Captured CNY. 

No fake smiles. No weird hand placements. No, “chin up, shoulders back, hold it right there!” nonsense.

 
In this image, two people embrace on a cliffside path. One wears a white bridal gown with a lace train; the other, a dark suit. They're near water.

Our Three-Part Approach to Painless Wedding Photography

Problem #1

"We have no idea what to do in front of a camera."

Your complimentary engagement session is basically a practice round. We figure out what works, what feels natural, and what makes you laugh.

Problem #2

"We're worried the photographer will boss us around all day."

We’re not drill sergeants with cameras. Our style is timeless with a special emphasis on capturing portraits. You celebrate, we capture. Simple as that.

Problem #3

"What if we don't like our photos?"

You’ll see sneak peeks within 48 hours of your wedding and your full gallery arrives in 2-4 weeks. If you loved your engagement photos, you’ll love these. We’re consistent.
