Your wedding day will probably be the most-photographed day of your lives — it’s a lot of pressure, even for couples who consider themselves photogenic. But After having your hair and makeup done and he’s in his tux, you’ll both look and feel fabulous. Here’s how you can make sure that sentiment shows up in your pictures.
Study your favorite photos. Sure you may already be doing it, but are you paying attention to the style of photos you like? The key to being a glamorous bride in your photographs is to look cool, composed and natural without appearing overly posed. What do we mean? Well think about some of your favorite pictures of yourself — your graduation picture probably isn’t among them. The shots where you look happy and poised but your attention isn’t directly on the camera (maybe you didn’t even know that someone was taking your picture) are often keepers. Look at these, and take note of how you’re standing and smiling. Then comes the challenge: Try to mimic that look on your wedding day. Easier said than done, but practice makes perfect, in front of the mirror and at opportunity you get.
When you’re taking your portraits, focus on each other rather than the camera. Whisper an inside joke to one another, remind each other how far you’ve come since your first date, or recall how you felt the first time he told you he loved you. The key is bring out the some of the romance that is so natural an evident when you’re both being yourselves and loving one another. These will leave you with much more natural expressions than simply saying “cheese.”
