To all the amazing couples out there, here’s how you can make your wedding photoshoot effortless and fun:

1. **Embrace the Golden Hour**: Plan your portrait session around the golden hour—right after sunrise or before sunset. This time offers soft, flattering light that brings out the best in every shot.

2. **Be Yourselves**: Don’t worry about posing perfectly. The most beautiful photos come from natural interactions—laugh, whisper sweet things, or simply hold each other close. Your connection will shine through.

3. **Choose a Meaningful Backdrop**: Whether it’s the place you first met or a scenic spot at your venue, the right background adds depth and context to your photos.

4. **Keep Moving**: Movement adds life to your pictures. Walk hand in hand, twirl, or dance together. These moments create dynamic, authentic shots that you’ll cherish.

5. **Focus on the Little Things**: Those small details like holding hands, a soft smile, or a loving glance can make all the difference. These close-ups capture the essence of your relationship.

Relax, have fun, and trust your photographer to capture your love story just as it is—beautiful and unique.

Hi! Let me reintroduce myself, it’s been a while. I’m Anastasia, but I prefer Stasia, the heart behind Stasia Photography. My journey has been a beautiful mix – from studying economics to moving to a new country, raising two wonderful children, and embracing new opportunities along the way. Now, I’m in a place of deep contentment. Weddings hold a special place in my heart, each one a unique story of love and joy. Following my brides and watching their families grow brings me immense happiness. Most days, I’m exactly where I want to be. They say life’s purpose should be bigger than oneself; for me, it’s about capturing your story. My approach is gentle and caring, focusing on creating stylish portraits while cherishing every moment and your history being made. Let me tell your story with elegance and love. ❤️ ~Anastasia~
