Tips on Looking Your Best in Wedding Pictures | James Photography & Imaging
Try the Classic Red-Carpet Pose Angle your body to the side and turn your head towards the camera. Put your weight on your back foot, feel free to put your hands on your hip. (it creates a slimmer profile) If you have a “good side” use it.
Keeping your Eyes Open If you tend to blink in photos, try closing your eyes and have the photographer count to three. On three, open them. Works every time.
Go Easy on the Orang-y Makeup Even if you look merely sun-kissed in real life, you might look carrot-hued in the photos. Also glitter and other luminescent lotions/ powders end up looking like sweat, not sparkle in photos.
Hold your Bouquet at your Hip You don’t want to hide behind your bouquet. Show off your dress instead by keeping your hands down by your bellybutton. When posing for formals keeping your forearm at a 45-degree will make you look thinner.
The Beauty of Laughter Forget saying “cheese,”. Instead think of something funny. Better yet, joke with the photographer. A natural smile trumps a fake one every time. And a good laugh eases tension for everyone.
Look more awake even if your not If all the excitement of your big day kept you up late the night before, try a couple drops of Visine. It will help your eyes look brighter and more awake.
