FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

We’re not models — can we still pull this off?

You don’t need to pose — we’ll guide you naturally so it feels like you. Creative wedding photography is about presence, not perfection. Real energy and connection always look better than anything stiff or staged. We’ll help you feel effortless on camera.

How do creative wedding photos look different?

They feel bold, cinematic, and full of motion. We use real connection, fashion-inspired lighting, and story-driven moments. These aren’t cookie-cutter photos — they’re crafted to reflect your vibe and make you look like the most iconic version of yourself.

Can we do this before the wedding day?

Yes — many couples prefer it that way. No pressure, no timeline stress. A pre-wedding shoot gives you space to play, connect, and explore. It’s a chance to tell your story through bold visuals in a setting that feels completely your own.

Where do you shoot these sessions in NYC?

We shoot in curated studios, iconic NYC spots, or in your hotel on the wedding day. It all depends on the look you want — minimalist, dramatic, romantic, or raw. The environment is chosen to reflect your energy and story, not just to look pretty.

Can we make it fun, weird, or totally custom?

Please. Creative wedding shoots thrive on personality. Want to shoot in a hallway? Dance in a hotel bed? Add something cinematic or chaotic? Go for it. You set the tone — we’ll shape the visuals around it and help make it unforgettable.

Do we get help with styling and direction?

Always. We help with looks, location, mood, and movement. Whether you want clean, stripped-down shots or a full editorial vibe, we guide you through it. No modeling needed — just trust, connection, and a vibe that feels like you.
