Wedding photos are memories of the special day that you wish to always remember and share with your kids or grandkids one day.
But it is not easy to pose for a camera when all eyes are on you. Plus, with all the wedding nervousness and stress, it might get a bit overwhelming for couples to look stunning in their wedding photos.
Here wedding photographers can play a very vital role. They can ease couples' nerves and help them select the best wedding photo poses. According to Mr. Amjad Alsaboory, a popular destination wedding photographer in Australia, it is important for wedding photographers to make couples feel comfortable before clicking the photos.
Shootime Alsaboory always makes sure to communicate with her clients constantly before the wedding. This helps her understand couples and their relationship dynamics, capturing some of the best wedding photos.
Shootime has further disclosed some of her personal favorite wedding photos poses and tricks to capture remarkable photos. Let's check out easy tips to get memorable wedding photos.
1. Please Don't Say Cheese
Yes, don't smile like a lunatic in your wedding photos. When you try to smile hard, it will furrow your brow and squint your eyes. Instead, you should relax your face and simply curl up your lips.
There's no need to showcase your megawatt smile in the wedding photos. Just a subtle grin and twinkle in your eyes are sufficient to radiate the happiness in your wedding pictures.
Shootime recommends photographers don't push couples to smile too much. They should focus on capturing couples' natural expressions rather than artificial smiles.
2. Go Easy on Makeup
If makeup isn't done considering the camera antics, it might backfire on you. Usually, a bronzed makeup tone looks great with a white dress, but the camera turns crazy with orange and yellow shades. Even if you look slightly sun-kissed, the camera will turn you into a blushing red tomato.
Similarly, glitters and lotions make you look all sweaty, not glowing. Therefore, ask your photographers about your makeup tone. If possible, have your photographer and makeup artist sit together to discuss the makeup tone.
3. Mellow Down Intimacy
Shootime here highly recommends keeping photos clean and avoiding heavy make-out sessions. A photogenic kiss is always simple and toe-curling.
That's because heavy kissing with a tongue can squash your nose, tilt your head and close your eyes. Therefore, a brief kiss on the forehead or peck on the lips is sufficient to entice intimacy in the photos.
4. Getting Ready Photos
For photographers, couples getting ready time is the perfect opportunity to click some pure candid shots. A bride admiring her wedding dress, groom and his best men goofing around with their bow ties are a few perfect moments for capturing some stunning wedding photos.
5. First Look Shot
The moment a bride walks down the aisle and the couple sees one another for the first time; it is the best moment to behold. At this moment, the bride and groom should focus on only each other. They should not think of photographers or guests, just look at one another with sheer love and affection.
Capturing the true emotions in a first look shot is the hardest for a photographer. That's because it is just a fleeting moment that can't be recreated. Thus, photographers need to be ready with their cameras the moment the marching song begins.
6. Focus on Double Chin
A double chin is a big hindrance for even a slim person. To avoid the double chin:
Prolong your neck and look straight in the camera.
Don't look down or tilt your shoulder blades.
Maintain a straight posture with your dazzling smile.
7. Relax Your Arms
If you have picked a sleeveless wedding dress, don't close your arms to your body or clasp behind your back.
Instead, brides should stretch their arms to the side, allowing biceps and triceps room to breathe. This, in return, will make your arms look sleek.
8. Maintain a Straight Posture
People often slouch forward or shrink a bit when they feel self-conscious. But you should not lose your straight posture to look radiant and stunning in your wedding photos.
Shootime suggests her clients think about being a ballerina at a recital. This helps couples always look confident in the photos.
Bonus Tip
Wedding photos are precious. Therefore, you should always hire a perfect photographer to capture your wedding photos. However, here you should not hire the best wedding photographer, instead hire a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.
If you don't feel comfortable in your photographer's company, it will reflect on your mood and photos. Therefore, start building a repo with your wedding photographer before the main wedding day. Rest just be yourself and have fun getting gorgeous wedding photos clicked.
