At some point down the road when you look at your wedding album, the same emotions and memories will flood right back.
That’s why you want to make sure that your wedding photography game is perfect. This goes way beyond choosing a great wedding photographer. While you want to choose a professional with stunning photography skills, you also want to make sure the photos reflect who you are and show your playful side. So, amidst all the planning, find some time to sit down with your photographer and make sure they know who you really are and what kind of pictures you want them to take.
In this article, we are going to go through some picture perfect poses you can ask your photographer to capture on the happiest day of your life.
Close-up
You will cherish this portrait more than any profile picture you’ve ever used. After all, your photographer did capture you on the happiest day of your life. Once you get your make-up ready, your hair fabulous and put on your precious jewelry to top it all off, wedding photographers can do their magic and capture a stunning close-up.
There are several variations of the portrait, including a side profile, close-up of your precious jewelry or the bride’s eyes.
Under the Veil
There’s nothing as magical as the veil that adorns the bride on her wedding day. You and your photographer can play with the veil to capture the best picture of your happy face concealed under the thin fabric.
The Grand Entrance
Capturing the bride as she enters the ceremony while everyone else is waiting to cast their eyes on the star of the wedding is priceless. The photographer will capture the glowing bride, as well as the bewildered looks of the guests as she graciously walks in.
Bride and her Entourage
Capturing the bride with her bridesmaids is mandatory. Get your bridesmaids to dress in matching dresses, colors or wear similar accessories. Make the photoshoot interesting for everyone involved and make sure your photographer captures the spirit of your friendship.
You can also have the photographer capture the moment your bridesmaids see you in your wedding dress for the first time. That way you can have their admiring looks captured forever.
The First Dance
The first dance is usually when all your emotions finally hit you, which is why many brides don’t seem to remember their first dance. By taking a picture of it, you can have that precious moment captured forever.
Focus on the Bride
A fun way to play with focus is to have the bride front and center, while the groom stays in the background, just slightly out of focus.
We hope that this article inspired you to come up with some perfect picture ideas. Go over these ideas with your photographer to make sure they capture you in the perfect light.
