It is the most beautiful day you have been waiting for. Now it has arrived, you are prepared, you are ready to be in front of the camera, and then suddenly you find that you are no so much comfortable anymore. Your photographer is giving you the basic pose ideas, but you want the epic shots.
Not any more - when you work with me - I take care of giving you the posing directions as posing is my forte. While the photos are being taken, you will notice two things happening
1.) you are no longer scared with that camera lens looking towards you - because you are now in the company of each other more and totally oblivious of the photographer. This is the environment I create
2.) You have been asked to laugh, be at yourself so the photos do not look cheesy or fabricated.
And the end result! Memories of a lifetime. See this mini-guide for posing. There will be many more poses that will be added to the repertoire in addition to the top ten listed below.
1. The Wrap and the Kiss: With that soft gentle kiss on the forehead, the pose will become timeless with the bride's smile, the groom's gentleness, and the presence of the engagement rings.

2. The Peek: Such a joy to see that Sneek Peek. That's the loving gaze and the most innocent smile that follows. There are endless variations of The Peek pose - and it is best captured unannounced.

3. Follow Me: With Bride leading the way for the groom - this pose signifies the great bond with hands joined together. This is the bond of love, this is the bond for life!

4. The first look: This perhaps, is the most single important pose that has come along this decade. It’s a semi-pose because it’s set up, but there should be no interference by the photographer. There are a million different ways to pull off the first look, the main thing is to have a photographer capture the bride and groom’s initial reaction. Couples often opt for a first look to capture the emotion and joy that only comes once in a marriage. Plus, a first look away from the guests means fewer jitters and butterflies when walking down the aisle!

5. The Forehead Rest: This is a very candid photo pose, in which couples do not need to look at the camera or the photographer.

6. The Dipping pose: Grooms dips the brides parallel to the ground. While this pose can be done at any point in time - it is best done in an open area just before walking towards the marriage area or during the reception dance. This pose also depicts the grandeur of your wedding, wedding dress, and venue.

7. The Kiss: This can be very formal to intimate. In the image below couple got a chance to have a private moment (of course photographer was there :) ) and give the best kiss shot.

8. The Adorable look: With both Bride and Groom ready to move towards the ceremony, there is always a possibility to stop and take an adorable formal shot.

9. The Walk: Let the Bride and Groom walk towards the photographer. The best shot is taken when the couple engages themselves in light talk, maybe groom cracking a joke or reminding each other of something very loving.

10. The dancing pose: This is taken before the reception so as to get the most beautiful lookout for this pose.
