You’ve found your perfect match, and the two of you are buzzing about beginning your happily-ever-after together. Wedding planning is in full swing, you’ve said “yes” to your dress, and everything is falling into place. But there’s one thing that sends a shiver down your introverted spine—being the center of attention, posing for countless photos and videos on your wedding day.

As a wedding photographer and wedding videographer who specializes in capturing the beauty of small, intimate micro weddings and elopements—and as an introvert myself married to another introvert—I get it. The idea of flashing lights, staged smiles, and forced poses can be daunting for introverts like us, especially when we already feel self-conscious about appearing in photos. It’s not just about saying “I do” anymore; it’s about saying it in front of the lens while still feeling authentically you.

So if your fear of appearing on camera is overshadowing your excitement for your big day, let’s dive into the world of wedding photography from one introvert to another and learn how to balance preserving cherished memories and wanting to avoid the spotlight.

Feeling uncomfortable about showing up in your own wedding photos? We’re sharing tips to make your wedding day photos as genuine and comfortable as your love story.
