How to pose for amazing wedding photos, even if you’re not a model

Every newly married couple has one or two of their best wedding photos hanging on the wall or on the mantelpiece. In this age of social media, you will probably want to post some wedding photos on Facebook or Instagram, as well as other social media pages. People love great images of themselves, especially ones that are flattering. Flattering portraits are a great way to remember one of the best days of your life, and they’re also great conversation starters. Everyone wants to have a perfect wedding and great wedding photos to display, but getting that fireplace-worthy photo isn’t always easy. Unless you are a model or an actor, you are probably not used to standing in front of a camera. Many people are unaware that there are real rules and techniques for posing and looking good. Sure there is the occasional selfie or group photo at a party, but none of them can compare to posing for bridal portraits. There is often a lot of pressure when posing for wedding photos because, unlike those amazing photos you see in all those bridal magazines, your wedding day is not organized and usually you will not be able to do it again. A little practice in front of a mirror will help you overcome the fear of being in front of a lens. This article will help you come up with different poses so that your images are not static and you always look good.

Most good photographers will help you pose. However, it’s really up to you to convey the facial expression that comes in part from feeling comfortable with your photographer and making sure their poses will look good. In part, it is genuine emotion that helps bring photographs to life. With that said, here are some tips to help you pose for your wedding photos. Also, these posing tips will apply to your honeymoon photos as well as other vacation photos.

Put your best foot forward

When posing for a wedding photo, it is recommended that you put most of your weight on your back foot. Since you only need one leg to stand, one foot takes your weight and the other foot becomes your stance foot. In doing this, a girl has many different options regarding the leg without the weight. For example, you can cross one leg behind the other for a pose with more attitude. This pose generally results in very flattering images and is also very simple and versatile.

Everything is in the arms

Instead of having your arms hanging limp at your sides, which is often not flattering, you can always stand side by side and put your “inside” arm around your partner’s waist. Then you can hold hands in front or the groom can put his hand in his pocket or hold the bride’s hand – these are classic poses that will add a sense of timelessness to your photos. They are also really simple and you can use them when taking pictures on the beach during your Florida wedding or on the balcony of a beautiful hotel.

Remember that it generally looks better if a hand is doing something in the photo. For example, a hand on a girl’s hip or the groom holding her jacket closed will always look better than a hand hanging down.
