04: How to Shoot In Between Moments on Wedding Days
The fourth episode of my Shine + Thrive podcast is all about those key in-between moments on a wedding day that we as photographers must document to capture the most authentic and unforgettable memories for our couples.
Over the years I have seen firsthand that no two weddings are ever the same. Yet every wedding has a ton of those little in-between moments that are right there up for grabs. Being able to watch, listen, pay attention to and anticipate these moments can create some of the most memorable shots that your clients will cherish for years to come.
Want to know what they are?
