Four poses every bride should do on her wedding day

in this guide, I’m going to show you the FOUR most important poses for brides to keep in mind when taking wedding portraits. These are easy to perform, even if it’s your first time being in front of a professional camera.

UNDER THE VAIL

If you are wearing a veil on your wedding day, make sure you add this to your shot list to give to your photographer. When you’re taking this one, make sure to do a couple of variations. Look up slightly so we can see that defined jawline and avoid any double chin action with smiling. Try looking at your husband for an authentic smile, or just point your head straight with your eyes closed and a slight tilt for a dreamy look.

THE VENUE SHOT

I like to take this shot, especially with a big venue or building in the background (nice church, Disney, hotel). I sit the bride down on a chair, fence, or staircase, holding her bouquet with both hands. I use a very wide-angle lens to emphasize the contrast in size between a small human being and a huge place. I get low to the ground for a better shot. brides usually love this pose because it shows the beautiful venue they paid so much money for.

THE HERO SHOT

It’s classic and a must-have. This pose highlights the bride’s confidence and excitement on her big day. This shot could show the bride outside in the sun, looking to the side while holding her bouquet with elegance. The contrast shows off her beautiful dress and jewelry and really emphasizes her emotions. This pose truly makes you feel like a queen. I always like to take this picture at the beginning of the day to show it to the bride. Usually, after seeing how beautiful she looks, they trust me more and start listening to my instructions more and more.

Let's get closer

I love detailed shots, and they are crucial on a wedding day. You will thank me when you see them in your wedding album later on. This is when you take an up-close shot to show the details. Show the bride’s hands holding the ring softly. Or a close-up to capture the details of the dress and the bride’s hair. See her lips smiling without the rest of her face where her jawline and collar bones are shown in beautiful light. These pictures help tell a story on your wedding album. I always make sure to take many detailed pictures of the bride. so make sure you tell your photographer that you want some of those.

"i was very satisfied with Ra at my wedding. he was on time, extremely polite, and fun. all my guests loved him, especially the groomsmen. everyone had something great to say about him which made my day more successful. and the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful even though my wedding was on the beach and in very harsh conditions. it was super hot and in direct sunlight. but he brought some big equipment and made it work. Ra definitely made my day more unforgettable"

"My wedding was December 4, 2021. Ra was phenomenal!! He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and took the best shoots of EVERYTHING I requested and some!! My husband and I absolutely loved him and my guests like him as well. He interacted with the guests and captured awesome priceless moments!! I would highly recommend Ra!! My family and I will definitely be booking with him for any future engagements."

" Ra is the man! I had a surprise proposal last minute and he came through after I thought it was to late. On top of that it was his birthday and he chose to cancel that to make it happen for me and my fiancé. He loves what he does and was very professional and prepared for the event. He’s the real deal. From what I did see from the pictures they were gorgeous. So very thankful for him being able to capture that moment for us. "

"Ra was amazing and made my Disney wedding perfect, he pushed for all the extra photos i wanted, even when Disney was pushy. He was talking to me when i started stressing out and he was pushing me to keep it together. he was so helpful with posing and with photos ideas. They were all amazing with bright vibrant colors to match the Disney vibes. i Will deff book again when needed and ill definitely recommend him to everyone i know and don't know :)"

"Ra shot our engagement pictures and was incredibly pleasant and great to work with. He sent our pictures within a few days to allow us to announce the engagement and sent the rest in a timely manner. He went above and beyond with the editing and I was super grateful for the work he put in. He was patient with us and helped us pose as needed. He also stayed until I had all the shots I wanted, so I was very grateful for that. Would definitely work with him again"
