Flattering angles for the bride

wedding posing guide for the bride

Let’s face it…if you are a professional wedding photographer you will photograph not only beautiful gorgeous brides but also normal looking ones. No matter how the bride looks like, there are some angles that are flattering for anyone and once the bride sees them on the back of your LCD screen, she will relax assured that you are doing a good job and you are making her look good. Many people have never been photographed and they become nervous and intimidate by your big gear, and you need to overcome this issue. The best way is to throw jokes at them, and also sow them they are in good hands and they will look good at the end of the day.

Regardless how the bride looks like I always try to shoot few portraits from a higher level, form a balcony, standing up on a bench while she is sitting down and looks up to me over her shoulder.  I can promise you everyone looks good like that

The easiest and best idea is to stand up on a bench and shoot down at the bride

If you get the chance to shoot even from higher ground, perhaps a balcony !?

Bride facing  1 o’clock and looking back over her shoulder and up to you is a guarantee you will not see any imperfections

Another flattering angle is the get the bride on her back on the bed, on the grass and look up to you on the angle as per below image.
