How to Pose for Perfect Wedding Photographs
By Debolina Manna
So, you are getting married? Congratulations, by the way. Have you called the wedding photographer yet? A photographer is one of the most important components of your wedding. It is a fact that wedding photography does not mean random pictures of the bride and groom. An excellent photographer will do his best to capture those shared looks, the warm laughter, the pulsating excitement and the unlimited fun. It is a popular belief that an able photographer is always prepared for unpredictable mishaps and can make just about any situation work. But the truth is that both the bride and groom, the wedding planner (if any) and the photographer need to co-operate with each other for making the photographs look stunningly beautiful.
No one knows better than you how you want your wedding snaps to look. In this aspect the importance of posing may be discussed. Does it sound funny to you? Believe it or not, posing happens to be one of the most important aspects of wedding photography. A photographer may have the best lighting, camera, and post-production knowledge in the world but still get stuck with dissatisfied clients if he fails to make them look gorgeous, comfortable, and contented. For a few ideas you may take a look at the following list of poses. You can always improvise to suit your own style.
Strike the basic pose in which the spouses are standing close to each other with no gaps between their bodies. Both of you can hold hands in the middle. Or the groom may place his hands in his pocket and the bride can place her hands on her hip.
Another pose has the bride hugging onto the bicep of the groom with one hand. She places her other hand on his shoulder.
Forehead to forehead without the kissing is considered to be an intimate pose too. Make sure to close your eyes so that it doesn't look like you two are staring each other down.
Meeting in the middle is the ultimate cute and happy pose. The bride and groom should stand a few feet apart, bend at the hip with backs straight and meet in the middle for a kiss. The background plays a big role in the case of this pose.
How can we forget the dip? This pose not only adds action to a scene but is the ultimate reflection of the 'sweeping off one's feet'. The groom should use his legs to dip to have a strong base. The bride should either grab around his neck or hold hands with him as they dip and kiss.
Then there is, of course, the kiss. When you decide to strike this pose make sure you have closeness, proper hand placement and genuineness.
The kiss on the cheek is also a classic pose. You can change your expressions to make the picture look either simple or funny or intimate. The groom holding the bride from behind is also a lovely pose.
