So… Make yourself comfortable and let’s get started!
1. Make a rehearsal
Naturalness is very important, and precisely to avoid nerves we recommend doing some rehearsal before the wedding. The pre-wedding session is highly recommended so that you can go to the photos of your big day more relaxed and have already gained confidence with the photographer. Don’t forget to practice in front of the mirror!
2. The smile is the mirror of the soul
A good smile says everything about you: with or without showing your teeth, half a smile… try as many smiles as you want! That way you won’t have the same face in every photo. And try to keep your smile as natural as possible, surely with the happiness of the big day it won’t be difficult for you to show your emotions!
3. Your eyes can also smile
Many wedding photographers say that you have to smile and not only with your lips, but also with your eyes. Your eyes will shine especially bright on your wedding day! Try not to look into the lens all the time to get more casual photos, unless the photographer asks you to do so. It is often recommended to look at the groom or even at the horizon, avoiding looking directly at the camera as this gives a more natural feel.
4. Movement and energy
Avoid being stiff or still, for this you can perform some actions in which the photographer takes advantage of the movement, such as making short steps in a natural way, simulate actions such as stroking the hair of our partner or his face, simulate that we are combing our hair or placing some of the accessories, make turns, cross your legs or arms, put an arm on your waist … The point is to move from time to time!
5. Always be natural
Natural wedding photos don’t just depend on the photographer. Being at ease and feeling that you are the best version of yourself helps you to be natural in front of the camera. It’s about showing yourself as you are, with your unique smile, your natural beauty and radiating happiness in every photograph. Show the best of yourself without any weird experiments!
6. Forget that there is a camera in front of you
The complicity between the couple is essential to get beautiful wedding photos that reflect the good harmony between you. And the good thing is that on a day like this complicity is not lacking! Try to forget that you have a camera in front of you and smile!
7. Attitude also plays an important role
It sounds like a cliché, but it is essential to have a positive attitude when you are in front of the camera. If you are relaxed and confident, everything will flow and you will avoid looking stiff and artificial. Relax and be confident, but above all be very positive and optimistic in front of the camera.
8. Good make-up artist
It is recommended to use the right make-up to look good in the wedding photos, so it is important to choose a make-up base with a suitable tone for your skin tone, although if it is at night and there will be flash, it is recommended to use a slightly darker base than the one that you would use on a normal day, because the white light of the flash makes fair skins lighter. Also keep a tissue handy or your make-up artist close to you, nerves can make us sweat and glitter should be under control on your big day.
9. Hairdressing tests
A good hairstyle makes wonders when it comes to looking good in photos, so it is essential to choose the best one for our face shape and that helps us to cover up what we don’t like. Try several hairstyles before the wedding day and take advice from professionals to get the best result.
10. No complicated poses
The best trick is to be yourself and avoid over-acting in your poses. Don’t worry too much about how to pose for your wedding photos. We advise you to let yourself be carried away by the magic of that day and show your emotions in every moment, let the happiness of that day become the main attraction of all the wedding photos.
11. Relaxed hands and arms
What to do with hands and arms is always a problem. To solve this problem, there are accessories and natural actions. You can use the bouquet to occupy one of your hands, just as the groom can use his trouser pockets to adopt a casual posture. If you want to have your arms along your body they have to be relaxed and in a gentle bending posture.
12. The setting matters too
Every place has its charm and the mission of the photography team is to know how to make the most of the chosen space, imagine your wedding photos on a beach, in a castle, on a cliff or in the luxurious spaces of an exclusive hotel!
