Feeling comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day is key to capturing beautiful, natural moments. Here are some tips to help you relax and enjoy being photographed:

1. Get to Know Your Photographer

    •    Schedule an engagement shoot or a pre-wedding meeting to build rapport.

    •    Communicate your preferences, favorite angles, and any insecurities.

2. Practice Posing

    •    Stand up straight with your shoulders relaxed.

    •    Angle your body slightly instead of facing the camera head-on.

    •    Practice smiling naturally in a mirror to find what feels best.

3. Focus on Each Other, Not the Camera

    •    Instead of worrying about how you look, focus on your partner and the emotions of the day.

    •    Interact naturally—laugh, hold hands, whisper something sweet. Candid shots often turn out the best!

4. Take Deep Breaths & Stay Present

    •    Nerves can show in photos. Take deep breaths to stay calm.

    •    Enjoy the moment instead of overthinking how you look.

5. Move Naturally

    •    Don’t feel like you have to stand stiffly—walk, twirl, or sway to keep things dynamic.

    •    Small movements (adjusting your dress, fixing a boutonniere) make for great candid shots.

6. Trust Your Photographer

    •    They know how to find the best angles and lighting to make you look your best.

    •    Follow their cues, and don’t be afraid to ask for guidance.

7. Wear Something Comfortable

    •    If your dress is too tight or your shoes are painful, it will show in your expression.

    •    Choose attire that makes you feel confident and at ease.

8. Embrace Imperfections

    •    Some of the best photos come from unplanned, real moments.

    •    Don’t stress about looking “perfect”—just focus on enjoying your day!
