Your wedding photos are some
of the most important keepsakes from your big day, and will be the constant
reminder of such a special event in your life. Although we all love the
‘natural’ shots, which capture the fun and spontaneous moments, it is always
good to be fully prepared for your big day so that each and every photo makes
you go “wow”! Here are a few tips to capture that perfect shot:
Before the wedding:

Practice your smile. I know this sounds a little
ridiculous but the more your practice, the more natural your smile will be and
you will feel completely comfortable when the camera is pointing your way.
©
Research your photographer. Have a look at their
gallery and see which of their photos stand out. Each photographer has their
own style so it is good to be prepared.

Have a hair and makeup trial. It is really
important that you feel comfortable on your special day so you need to ensure
you are happy with how your hair and makeup looks and feels. Take some photos
to see how your ‘look’ translates into digital pictures.

Book a manicure. Your rings deserve a photo too
so make sure your fingers as pretty as possible!
On the big day:
©
Achieve the best pose. Like all celebrities on
the red carpet, you can make sure you show off your best side and strike the most
flattering pose. Try angling your body so you are not straight on to the
camera, and put your weight on your back foot. This creates a slimmer profile.
©
Smile with your eyes. Make sure you connect and
engage with the camera.
©
Elongate your neck to avoid slouching, and lift
your chin slightly. This will lengthen your body and produce a beautiful
silhouette.

Hold your bouquet at your hip. This will ensure
your dress is in full view and by keeping your forearms at a 45 degree angle,
you will make your body look long and lean.

Most importantly, enjoy every minute of your
special day and your love and happiness will create the best possible photos to
appreciate for a lifetime.
