Every newlywed couple keeps one to two of their most memorable wedding photos on their walls or on their mantel. They’ll likely want to upload a few photos on Facebook and Instagram, as well as any other social media sites. Flattering photos are a favorite of many people. A flattering portrait is a wonderful way to remember the most memorable day of your life. They also make great conversation starters. It is possible to create a beautiful wedding with great photos, but it can be difficult to achieve that perfect shot. You’re not likely to be comfortable in front of the camera unless you are a professional model or actor. There are rules and techniques for looking professional and posing well. While there are some selfies and group photos at parties, none can compare to taking bridal portraits. It is often stressful to pose for wedding photographs. Your wedding isn’t a staged event and there is no way you can get another shot. You can get over the anxiety of being in front a camera. You can learn how to pose so your photos don’t look static.
Most professional photographers will assist you. It is up to you, the photographer to capture your facial expression. It’s partly the authentic emotion that brings the photos to life. Here are some tips for taking great wedding photos. These posing tips can also be used for vacation and honeymoon photos.
Put your best foot forward
When taking a picture for a wedding, you should shift your most weight to the back of your foot. Because you can only use one leg for standing, your one-foot weight becomes the weight of your other foot and it is your posing foot. This gives a girl many options for the leg, even if she doesn’t have to lose weight. You could also cross your legs to show more attitude. This pose usually results in very flattering pictures and is also very simple and versatile.
It’s All in The Arms
Instead of having your arms hanging limply at your side, which is often unflattering, you could always stand next to each other and put your “inside” arm around your partner’s waist. These classic poses will give your photographs a timeless feel. The groom could place his hand in the pocket of the bride’s or put it in front. They are also really simple and you can use them when taking pictures at the beach during your Florida destination wedding or the balcony of a beautiful hotel.
Remember that it usually looks better if one hand is doing something in the photo. A hand resting on the hip of a bride or groom will look more professional than one hand holding his jacket.
