The big day is coming and, certainly, you’d want everything on that day to radiate the pure kind of happiness enfolding you and your groom. From your guests, to your attire and the ceremony’s motif, to the venue, and every aspect in between — everything is hoped to reflect solemnity and pristineness.

And if you find yourself thoroughly invested in these details, as anyone excited to tie the knot would, you’d like your wedding photos and your poses to be beautiful too, wouldn’t you? After all, these pictures will encapsulate and eternalize the bliss felt and radiated on your wedding day.

To help you out with your wedding photography, we looked around for ideas for bride and bridesmaids poses which we think you’ll be happy to use. Some of these have become classics, while others are fresh and unconventional. Either way, we can tell they’re all exciting to pull off.

Here they are:

Dressing Up

This pose has graced many a wedding album, and not surprisingly. It’s full of elegance, and captures the quiet thrill the bride feels.

Uniformity

Not only does uniformity connote confidence and savvy, but it’s also pretty to look at.

Jumpshot (With Shoes on Display)

This is a fresh take on the famous jump shot, with the girls shoes set on the foreground. Why are they placed there? Because girls love shoes!

  1. Love the suggestions for the wedding day, but want to caution new photographers against putting your subject above the camera or using wide angle lenses since both will add weight to most normal people…unless they’re slender or models. I’m not saying don’t ever do it, just be thoughtful of your subjects. I don’t know any women who want to look heavier than they do! LOL!

    • That’s so true, Dee. Who would like to see themselves unwittingly being added a few pounds in a picture?

      Heh, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. :)
