Plenty of couples worry about their wedding photos. You shouldn’t have to worry about the quality, especially if you’ve hired a fantastic photographer. But lots of people feel anxious about how they will look in their wedding photos. If that’s you, our friends at PictionUs are sharing 5 genius wedding photo posing tips. These tips are practical, simple and easy to implement. You’ll thank us later!
Highlight genuine moments
This may seem completely obvious, but don’t focus so much on getting your best angles. Rather aim to capture those candid moments! Ask a friend or family member who isn’t involved in the official wedding photos to stand by and take some photos on their phone. While you are posing for your wedding album photo, this person can capture all the sweet, funny, candid shots for you to look back on in your PictionUs album.
Stand tall
You’d be surprised at how fast people become awkward when a camera comes out. Remind yourself to stand with your shoulders back. It’ll make you look taller and highlight your most flattering curves and angles of your body!
Here’s a helpful tip: Take a breath and hold it in when you’re taking photos. It automatically brings your shoulders up and back, straightening out your posture.
Be confident
It’s YOUR wedding day. It’s a day about celebrating you and your Other Half, so make sure you create beautiful photos you want to frame and display in your home. If you feel confident, it will come across in your photos.
Show off your beautiful train or veil by turning your body away from the camera. It will give you a sense of quiet confidence and highlight the shape of your figure and your gown.
Why not practice your poses in the mirror before your Big Day? This will help you know which angles work best for you, making you feel even more confident in front of the camera.
Hands on
Did you know that hands in photos can be a huge giveaway to how you’re feeling?
Lifting a bouquet or holding your partner’s hand? If you’re feeling uncomfortable, your hands will be a dead giveaway. Relax your arms and wrists to demonstrate a relaxed vibe, because a tighter grip will show you’re uneasy.
Here’s a tip: Bend your arms gently to leave small gaps that emphasise the angles of your body. Hold your bouquet with both hands in front of your body!
Eye contact
Just like your hands, did you know that your eyes reveal more emotion than you realise? They can really capture the connection between you and your Other Half in your photos.
Aim to get some lovely photos of you two looking into each other’s eyes. That’s the money shot!
