How to Get Candid Poses
Officially the easiest (and most fun) way to do an engagement session for the wedding photographers who value capturing authentic emotion and candid poses! Candid gets the cutest interactions between your couples naturally. No more awkwardness. No more prompt memorization. The game uses a combination of prompting and role-playing which will get your couples loose, cracking up, and being real with each other in ways that are hard to manufacture through coaching and normal prompting. If you’ve been on the other side of the camera, you know that it can be stressful, awkward, and intimidating. The cards take a session from that to the best date ever. Basically it’s a strategy that will change your work forever PLUS a mini-posing workshop at a fraction of the price. Now you can worry less about creating the moment so you can focus on capturing it well!

Y’all I love this game! For my couples, its so fun and so easy but as a photographer it is strategic & incredibly inspiring. Even though its called a game, there are really no rules. Its a kick starter to creativity & an amazing transition pack of prompts to help your session flow. Once you choose a card & your couple does the prompt, you can make adjustments from there & customize each movement to fit your couple more. The secrecy Of this game is what truly captures real & authentic reactions. I love that only one of them does the prompt & the other genuinely gets to enjoy it with no expectation of an outcome. I would highly recommend PURCHASING this game & PROVIDING your couples with a fun date-like experience. Chelsea & jack truly created the key that not only unlocked my mind-block during sessions, but takes you on a journey of discovery. I’ve noticed, even using the same cards for each session, i never feel like i’m taking the same picture twice, and thats just really cool. Thank you archers!
