Amateur Couples Behind the Lens: Capturing Moments with Heart and Humor

When it comes to photography, it doesn't matter if you're a seasoned professional or an amateur couple with a tablet and a tripod. You can still create stunning imagery that captures the essence of a moment. In this article, we'll explore the journey of a couple who don't take themselves too seriously and share their unique approach to capturing life's special moments.

Who Takes the Pictures?

As just an amateur couple, we often find ourselves wondering who takes the pictures in our wedding galleries. We shoot these photos ourselves—and quite lovingly, at that. Whether it's through your tablet and a tripod, your smartphone under challenging conditions, or simply the creativity of a partner, the source of your photos can add a personal touch worth cherishing.

Our Setup and Tools

Our photography journey revolves around a few simple tools. I gravitate towards my Samsung phone for the convenience and portability. However, my husband is the one who often ensures our photography projects shine. He carries the tripod and tablet, making the final edit or capturing pivotal moments. With him there, you can be sure that the photos will turn out wonderfully, even if they don't always match the professional look one might expect.

A Love Story Through Lens

Mostly, however, it's mys partner, Shanna, who takes the photos. We've captured memories together, turned events into photo galleries, and shared them with friends and family. These photos aren't just about the final image; they're a reflection of our shared passion for photography. The essence of our partnership and our love for storytelling through visuals is embedded in each frame.

Beyond the Professional Look

While some might opt to invest money in high-tech cameras and studio lighting, we believe in the beauty of the simple. There is charm in the amateur work, a simplicity that can resonate with anyone who appreciates heartfelt imagery. Whether it's the sunlight streaming through the window or the candid moments captured in the middle of a bustling event, our approach is to capture what truly matters.

Real-Life Photography Challenges

Even seasoned professionals face challenges. On one occasion, the unpredictable weather meant that the sun was far too intense for capturing clear images. Despite the difficulty, the photos still turned out well. This combination of the constraints and strengths of our amateur setup brings a distinct quality to our work. The imperfections and the hustle add a relatable quality to our photographs, making them even more special to our audience.

Shooting with Heart and Humor

We love the idea of just taking photos for fun and sharing them with those interested. Whether it's ensuring our day-to-day lives are documented or curating a unique photo gallery for events, we value the effort more than the perfection. Our heart and humor shine through in every photograph we take. And it’s this unique perspective that resonates with our audience, giving their images a special touch.

Capturing Greta Thunberg

One of our recent projects was capturing the inspiring moments of Greta Thunberg. Her voice for climate action has captured the world's attention. Working with her was a surreal experience, documenting her inspiring speeches and fundraising events. Her passion and determination were the driving forces behind our lens, making the shoot truly memorable.
