How to Take Perfect Wedding Photos
Meet our Guest Blogger: With more than ten years of experience and a dedicated team of photographers and videographers, Fedora Media is here to support you every step of the way. They strive to create a stress-free experience and stunning images that will live longer than your memories alone!
We’ve all been there. It’s your wedding day, and you’re in front of the camera. Suddenly, you feel
like you’re on display and not yourself at all. You don’t know how to pose, what to do with your
hands or where to look. But we are here to help!
How to get rid of that awkward feeling
The first step to overcoming your awkwardness is to acknowledge that it’s okay. It’s normal, and
many other people have felt the same way before you. There are a lot of ways you can work
through this feeling, from choosing poses that feel natural to you and getting to know your
photographer so they can help guide you through the process with their expertise. This is why
engagement photoshoots can be a valuable opportunity to work together before your big day.
The important thing is not to panic or get stressed out about it. Just take a deep breath and
have fun!
Choose a pose that feels natural to you
If something doesn’t feel right or natural, don’t be afraid to say so! We want the best outcome
possible for your images just as much as you do. If you’re having trouble choosing a pose, let us
know, and we would be happy to offer suggestions or provide you with fun activities to make
things feel more natural.
It can be hard when all eyes are on you during this special time in life, but remember: everyone
else is facing their own challenges too! They also may be feeling self-conscious because they’re
not used to being photographed so often either. So go ahead, take a deep breath and
remember that everyone else is probably feeling just as awkward as you are.
Concentrate on the person you’re posing with, not the camera
Concentrate on the person you’re posing with, not the camera. We are always close by and
capturing all of the important moments, you just need to concentrate on having fun!
Unless we are doing your photoshoot, try to ignore us as much as you can. When we are
capturing candid moments, it can look awkward when one person is staring directly at the
camera.
If you’re posing with someone else, look at them and smile or chat. That’s it! Don’t worry about
what your face looks like or how they’re posing, just focus on having fun!
If you are posing with your partner, look at them and smile. Take some time to remember why
we are here, and just enjoy the moment.
If you feel like it’s not working out, let us know or try switching poses.
Remember that it’s okay if it doesn’t look perfect at first
One of the most important things to remember is that you don’t have to get it right on the first try.
In fact, most people who are nervous in front of the camera feel much more comfortable after a
bit of time passes. Everything is digital now, and we can retake images as many times as you
need to feel happy and confident in your photos.
If something doesn’t feel right during a photo shoot, let us know so we can fix it right away.
Always remember that we get the best images when you are happy and having fun.
