1.Classical official pose

The classical pose is the must-have shot in the wedding album. Make sure that the newly-weds are situated closely to each other and their hands don't hang in a weak-willed position. Let them hold hands, or, for example, the groom can put one hand into a pocket, and you can suggest the bride embrace her future husband.

Remember that they only have to look straight at the lens. The background should maintain in the style of the photo. You can choose a beautiful landscape, a garden, a sea or a park. Everything depends on the young people's imagination and the photographer who will spring all of these ideas into life.

Also, you may try the classical official pose when the couple is seated. Don't forget to see after the hands position, because if they are incorrectly placed, hands may spoil an ideal photo. The groom has to embrace the waist of his beloved woman, and his other hand should hold her hand. The bride can gently put a free hand on her dress or on her knees.

2.Hugs

Let the bride put her head or just lean her elbows on the groom's shoulder, and he should stand still, looking straight into a shot, or at the bride. Also, don't forget about a smile!

3.Make experiments, don't be ordinary.

8.In the dance beat

It is one of the most dynamic poses. Make sure, that the groom is steady enough and can hold his darling, and in turn she clasps him around his neck with both hands.

9.A glimpse

It is very difficult to take such a kind of picture; you have to catch the moment when your shot doesn’t seem to be a staged photography. The couple has to look at each other while smiling and holding onto each other.

10.An intimate look

The groom and the bride have to stay close to each other, as it creates a more intimate feeling. Besides, make sure that none of partners deviates and moves aside as it can damage the photo.

11.Make it a surprise

Talk with the guests and make a surprise for your wedding couple in order to catch real emotions without posing. Be sure, that you will still get an excellent shot.

The bride should look straight, and the groom, on the contrary, may look at her. You can also make it vice versa. Without a doubt, such a type of photo has to be present at any collection of wedding photos.

Don't be afraid to use framing in your wedding shot. It can be done with doors, windows, paths, and with a blurring effect. Otherwise, you may create it by yourself, with the help of hands.

15.A kiss

This pose doesn't demand a big description. Just do remember two basic rules: the groom and the bride must stay close to each other, being in contact with their bodies and their hands too.

16.Onlooking

Also, it isn't always obligatory to photograph a just married couple from the front. Make a set of romantic photos taken from behind or sideways. Add a beautiful landscape or church hall in a shot and you will strengthen the impression of a picture.

17.On different grounds

The bride is in focus in the foreground, the groom is in the background. On posing don't alienate them too far from each other, keeping an opportunity to recognize the groom in the photo. Also, don't forget: the groom in a background looks in a back of the one who faces him, but is not straight in focus.
