Wedding Poses - Six Must-Do Bridal Photography Poses

After the basic shots, every couple should know the six key tips to create extraordinarily memorable wedding poses. Beyond the ceremony and reception, beyond family candids, the first dance, cake cutting, and the bouquet toss are truly brilliant compositions that make for the best bridal photography poses.

First, be certain to capture the bride and the groom as they are about to kiss. This is an important distinction from the actual first kiss or kissing during the first glance. The moment before the kiss gives more perspective on their faces, the look in their eyes, and the intimacy of the moment. A great photographer will be in the right position to capture some of those candid moments during the reception when a kiss is about to occur.

Second, it is essential that the full wedding party is captured in a less scripted moment than the middle of the ceremony. Perhaps the wedding party is together before walking down the aisle, or immediately after the ceremony, or during a gathering in the midst of the reception. The photographer can prompt this get together but should get the shot when they are laughing or joking rather than in a formulaic pose facing the camera in a line.

Third, the bride should be captured in the context of the reception venue. Typically, the bride has spent tremendous energy ensuring that the tables, flowers, lighting, place settings, band, and other features are just right. To display the bride with these key elements together in the background is to pay great respect to the effort that went into making the setting perfect for her wedding day. This may not be one of the typical wedding poses for photographers, but you can be sure that it will be welcomed as a great memory of that day and all that went into planning it.

Fourth, capture the groom alone in the moments before the wedding ceremony. This is not one of the conventional wedding poses since it does not display the full couple. However, it is natural that the groom will represent a lot of his personality at this time -- hopefully relaxed! Ensure that these pictures are casual and at an angle, not looking directly at the camera.

Fifth, you can never go wrong with charming or laughing images of the younger family members in their formal roles. For example, young flower girls or ring bearers never fail to elicit laughs from the gallery. You can't know when this will happen, but following their progression into the ceremony with a good view of those seated in the background can allow you to capture both their entrance and the crowd reaction.

Sixth, get close when the best man and maid of honor are together at the reception. A good photographer will make them comfortable to pose in an exaggerated spontaneous fashion while celebrating together.

With these six tips, any wedding photographer can deliver outstanding results that are cherished for a lifetime.
