Your wedding day is a whirlwind of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments and your photos will capture every moment of it! Sometimes the idea of being in front of the camera can make us feel awkward (you’re not alone!), don’t worry 🙂 Your wedding photos aren’t for posing, it’s all about capturing your connection in a natural, authentic way all throughout your day.
Here are some simple, go-to tips to help you both to feel so comfortable in front of the camera while still being totally yourselves.
- Don’t pose, interact 🙂
The best wedding photos often come from real interactions and the in between moments. Whispering something sweet or silly, share an inside joke, or tell each other how amazing you look. These moments create genuine expressions and I’ll be there ready to capture them.
2. Eyes on each other or off the camera
Eye contact with each other can make the most beautiful photos. It instantly creates a connection and tells a story without saying a word. But looking off into the distance can also feel dreamy and give more of a cinematic or editorial look. As a photographer, we might guide you between the two! Just lean into whatever feels natural in the moment. The most natural photos are the best photos.
3. Move together, always find a way to connect
Staying close to each other key. Whether you’re walking hand-in-hand, slow dancing, or stealing a quiet moment together, movement creates beautiful, natural shots! Don’t be afraid to touch, hold hands, wrap your arms around each other, rest your head on their shoulder. Not only does being close make for romantic photos, but it makes you more comfortable.
4. Be yourself
At the end of the day, the best pose is the one that feels like you. Don’t stress about looking like a model at all on your wedding day just focus on each other. Smile, breathe, and take it all in, every moment! When you’re present with your new husband or wife, the photos will radiate the both of you.
5. Trust your photographer

The more relaxed you are, the more natural your photos will look. A good photographer will help you feel the most yourself redirect the energy into something fun and candid always !
