As a wedding photographer with nearly a decade of experience I have acquired many of the ‘tricks of the trade’. Truth be told there is no quick way to become proficient at anything, only through dedication, practice, patience, and a love for your subject can you surpass the base level. 

One of those ‘tricks of the trade’ is learning how to pose people for maximum effect. People come in all shapes, sizes, and varying degrees of maneuverability! That’s why having a storeroom of knowledge about how to pose couples is essential to this job. A wedding day is a once in a lifetime event for most people and so you really only get one chance to capture those special moments.

I’m happy to say that after so many years in the business I have a much greater understanding of how the body poses and which poses I like best! In fact, I’d like to share with you my top 5. These are some poses that, in my opinion, you simply can’t beat!

While these might be my top 5 poses there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of other fantastic poses! Often couples come to me with a list of poses they want to do! I am more than willing to shoot almost anything, although on the day of I tend to outlaw the flying superman pose for the safety of the groom and his formal wear!

Posing for photos is a lot of fun and I’ve found that these poses really accentuate the moment and create a unique atmosphere of fun, love, and excitement for the events that follow!
