Wedding picture poses

Marsarah

I need some ideas on various poses for our wedding pictures with the bridal party. For those who have already had their wedding, which ones were your favorite? Were you expecting to like a particular pose but didn't when you got the pictures back? For the future brides, what poses are you looking forward to? Thanks for your help!

I would recommend asking your potential vendors for some examples of their work so you can see the artistic ideas they may have. If you still are in search of some ideas you may want to google "must take photos". You may also find some helpful ideas here:

My dress has pockets, so I'm planning on having a picture of me & FH next to each other, both with hands in our pockets.  I thought it would be a cute way to utilize the my dress!

I am looking for the fun ones! I don't know why everyone takes stiff photos. My friend got married and they had a playset near by. The groom got on the slide, the ring bearer got in a tower, groomsmen got on swings, best man was hanging on the flip bar. I think it's the fun ones you will love late in life.

we have borrowed an antique truck that we will do some fun pictures around that.  also an old cruiser bike that will have an old basket on the front with flowers that we will also use as a "prop."  we also want some cool pictures of us on the old farm we are getting married at (up against the barn, running through the field, walking down the long dusty road leading up to the property).  this might be hard to describe but i also want a picture of me and my then husband to be holding foaming over beers in mason jars with our rings showing.  sounds weird, but i think it will look cool.  the last must take picture is of all of our guests standing together (around 250ppl!) smiling and looking up at the camera (photographer will shoot it from up on a ladder).  good luck, lots of fun stuff to do out there!

my FI's uncle has a fabulous hot rod (1946 plymouth) that he is graciously driving me to the church in.  i NEED pictures of me getting out of that car!  my shoes are also pretty fab - so i want a shoe photo of my toes peeping out from under my dress's hem.  i'm using my mothers and grandmothers garters so i really want a picture of that too.  i also want a shot from the back of me just as i start to walk down the aisle - so you can see my veil and train, and all the amazing details of our church.  i'd really like cute shots of the flower girl and ring bearer too.

also make sure you give your photog a list of all the people who you really want pictures of, especially grandparents and other special family members.

Go onto google and put in wedding images or wedding couple images or wedding party photos, anything like that. They will come up with some great stuff, I have compiled a ton of photos that I MUST HAVE. Cause they look fun, and great to do.  You could also google wedding photographers and go through a few websites.

Why would you want shots that have nothing to do with your wedding day? I don't get taking pictures on a swingset- that's just weird to me. I think that overly posed pictures are very 1992 and extremely cheesy. Props do not belong in your wedding photos. This is not a bat mitzvah or a sweet 16. Keep it classy. Stick with a few formal shots and the rest, candids. It will probably mean a lot more to you when you look back in 10 or 20 years. Don't you want to capture the essence of the actual day?

I don't understand brides who ruin their reveal to their FIs just to get some cheesy, posed shots in before the ceremony or miss their whole cocktail hour- how lame.
