Tips to Posing For Your Wedding Photos (South Florida Edition)

It is the day of your wedding! Your very special day has arrived and there is a myriad of emotions coursing through everyone! Here at Quality Media, we wanted to guide you gently throughout this monumental day, as professional photographers and videographers that will happily take care of so much for you on the day of. 

Let’s talk about your wedding photography in this post. You’ve probably spoken with our team beforehand (it’s ok if you haven’t just yet) about the order in which you want your photos taken and how the reception will be captured; here are some tips for you and your loved one(s) to get the most out of your photos in regards to posing. We want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, as you’re sure to be radiant!

1 —- You’ll want your photos to truly show the magic of your love. First off is posture! Your dress or suit may feel different than what you’re used to, especially if you’re not accustomed to wearing formal wear frequently. Shoulders back, imagine a string pulling the top of your head towards the sky. Oftentimes if we feel nervous, we might curve our shoulders, or bow our heads, so be mindful of your body and head positions.

2 —- Next, approach your photos with confidence. Remember that this is your day! Smile with your mouth and your eyes, being sure to look into your partner’s gaze and remind yourself of why you’re there that day. This will help your true natural state of happiness and excitement shine through, whether you’re smiling with teeth or not. 

3 —-This specific detail/body part tends to go overlooked: your hands. Between all of the dress’s folds and the suit’s layers, holding your partner, or guests, might feel unlike the way you usually pose for photos. Try to embrace each other normally, remembering that the only difference in these moments is the clothes- your love and commitment to each other are constant! Loosen up your hands, hold each other’s waists gently and with ease; if you’re going to hug, place your heads on each other’s shoulders and try some photos with eyes open and closed, with your arms and hands fitting together like natural puzzle pieces. No need for stiffness or to feel awkward; this is your day so own your pose! We know you can do it and our photographers and videographers are here to help and guide you.

Finally, remember to listen to the guidance of our photographer and work with us during the shoot. We are here to create the most stunning wedding photos we can for you and are likely to see an opportunity for unique and creative shots. 

It is absolutely our pleasure to share this special day with you, and we’re so grateful for you putting your trust in us! Thank you for choosing us, and we’re so excited to see your poses and smiles really shine!
