1. Choose a Photographer You Trust

The first step to look naturally in your wedding photos is to hire a photographer you feel comfortable with. When you trust your photographer, you’re more likely to relax and be yourself. At The Wedding Poets, we strive to build a rapport with our clients, making the photography process enjoyable and stress-free.

2. Engage with Each Other

One of the best ways to capture natural poses is to focus on each other rather than the camera. Whisper sweet nothings, share a private joke, or simply look into each other’s eyes. These intimate moments create genuine expressions and natural poses.

3. Stay in Motion

Static poses can often feel awkward and unnatural. Instead, keep moving! Walk hand in hand, twirl around, or dance together. Movement helps create dynamic and lively photos, capturing the joy and energy of your wedding day.

4. Practice Makes Perfect

While you don’t need to rehearse every pose, practicing a few basic ones can help you feel more confident on your big day. Spend some time in front of the mirror or do a pre-wedding photoshoot with your photographer to get a feel for what works best for you.

5. Use Props and Surroundings

Incorporate elements from your wedding venue into your photos. Sit on a vintage sofa, lean against a beautiful tree, or interact with your wedding decor. Props and surroundings can help you feel more grounded and provide natural posing opportunities.

6. Focus on Your Hands

Hands can sometimes be tricky in photos. To avoid looking stiff, keep your hands busy. Hold your partner’s hand, touch your face or hair gently, or play with your bouquet. Natural hand movements can make a big difference in your overall pose.

7. Relax and Breathe

It’s natural to feel a bit nervous in front of the camera, but remember to breathe and relax. Take deep breaths and trust your photographer’s guidance. The more relaxed you are, the more natural your photos will look.

8. Capture the Candid Moments

Some of the best wedding photos are taken when you’re not aware of the camera. Enjoy your day, laugh with your friends and family, and let your photographer capture those candid moments. These unposed shots often become the most cherished memories.

9. Trust Your Photographer’s Direction

Experienced wedding photographers know how to guide you into natural poses without making you feel awkward. Trust their direction and be open to their suggestions. At The Wedding Poets, we use our expertise to help you look and feel your best.

10. Be Yourself

Ultimately, the key to natural wedding photos is to be yourself. Embrace your unique personality, quirks, and relationship dynamics. Authenticity shines through in photos and creates timeless, beautiful memories.
