Top 5 Favorite Wedding Poses

Below are my top 5 favorite wedding poses for you to try for high-quality pictures that you will hang on your walls.

I know what you’re thinking: You don’t want to be spending all of the time you could be using to hang out with your friends and family on trying to capture tons of poses from all different angles with controlled circumstances. But what you do want is high-quality images, done in a quick amount of time, which ample variety.

That’s where I (or this list) come in.

Read on to see my top five wedding poses portraits for when you’re on a time crunch or just want to ensure you get really beautiful, fun images to look back on.

Pose #1: The Grandma Shot

Everybody wants this (okay maybe not everyone, but certainly your grandma!) to put on their fridge. There is a reason this is one of my top 5 favorite wedding day poses! It is simple, elegant, and shows you both off in your wedding attire with a beautiful smile. Absolutely can not forget this one!

Pose #2: Under the Veil

If you’re looking for an intimate moment under your veil, this is key. I will capture you under the veil from afar, from up close, and I’ll even get under there with you! The important thing with this pose is that it does require a cathedral veil like this one – or at least one long enough to cover both of you!

Pose #3: The Walking Shot

I love movement-based prompts, and this is a really easy one to get some fun interaction between you two! Try looking at the camera, looking at each other, looking at the scenery around you, all while you are walking hand-in-hand throughout the grounds of your venue.

Pose #4: The Show Off

This one is SO fun! All you have to do is twirl in your dress while your partner adores you. This can be done while he twirls you, or you can twirl yourself!

Pose #5: Something Spicy

I love incorporating something spicy, or a little sexy, into your wedding day portraits, if you’re up for it! Think classy elevator shots, a kiss on the neck, or a silhouette amongst an epic landscape.

Well, there you have it! Five really easy, fool-proof wedding day poses to try on your wedding day.
