When it comes to taking wedding photos, posing is key to making sure couples look picture-perfect. However, posing may seem nerve-racking to a lot of couples. Couples already have a lot to deal with on their wedding day, now we’re adding posing to the list. But fear not, here are a few timeless classics and modern trends that may please you:
1. The First Look: The moment when a couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day is captured in this popular pose. When the bride walks up behind him and taps him on the shoulder, the groom stands still. After the couple has turned to face each other, the photographer captures the emotion of the moment.
2. The Hold and Kiss: This classic pose involves the bride and groom standing close together with the groom’s arms around her waist. It’s a nice moment when the bride leans on the groom’s chest and gets a kiss on the forehead.
3. Bride and Groom with Parents: It’s a cute shot of the couple surrounded by their parents. A bride and groom are featured in the middle of the photo, flanked by their parents. It’s a great way to include everyone in the wedding photos.
4. Holding Hands: A simple, yet sweet pose, which involves looking into each other’s eyes while holding hands. Weddings typically involve the groom wrapping his arm around the bride’s waist.
5. The Dip: In this romantic pose, the groom dips the bride with one arm behind her back and the other around her waist. While the groom looks down at her with love in his eyes, the bride can lean back and gaze up at him.
6. The Spin: Bring your partner along (and add a bit of Disney-princess dreaminess) to the party. In this shot, you will be spinning around, creating a playful scene that will capture the dress in motion.
7. Jumping Into Each Other’s Arms: If you want more action, have your partner sweep you off your feet. This endeavor will offer a whole new angle and evoke a lot of laughs.
8. Candid Laughter: There is nothing more natural than spontaneous laughter.
9. The Wind-Blown Veil: If it is a windy day or not, use that beautiful veil as a frame around you with a few creative poses. This will let you raise the veil and then drop it just in time to capture a perfect editorial shot.
10. The Subtle Glance: A subtle glance at the camera is all that matters. From prep to couple portraits, to bridal portraits, you can count on this photogenic pose throughout the day.
Wedding Pose Mistakes to Avoid:
- Don’t tilt your head too much – otherwise, you will end up with an unbalanced picture.
- Don’t forget to smile – even just a slight smile can add a natural look to your photo.
- Don’t forget to make eye contact with the camera – making eye contact will help to add an element of authenticity to the photo.
