Your
wedding album will be the ultimate wedding keepsake. The photographs will narrate the story of your wedding, from
the moment you put your gown on until you leave for your
honeymoon. It will be
enjoyed by future generations to come. Therefore, you want
to make sure you look your best.

Here are a few tips when posing for
the camera:
|
|
|
-
The obvious is to be
sure to smile. However, you don't want that "stiff" look. Try to remember something funny (a joke or a funny
moment you and your significant other had).
-
You don't want to
look awkward in your photographs. A good way to avoid this is to show some action. Such as hugging your Mom, kissing your Dad, laughing
and showing some affection.
-
Afraid of having a
double-chin in your photographs? Be sure to stand tall and hold your head up high (try
not to look as though you are bird watching!)
-
Be sure to stay out
of direct sunlight. The sun will shadow your face (which will make your
nose appear bigger and your eyes smaller).
-
Be
sure that your hair is out of your eyes. Tuck any stray hairs behind your ears.
-
If you are afraid
that you are going to blink, do NOT widen your eyes. This will give you a creased forehead. Instead, shut your eyes quickly before the photo is
taken and then open them.
-
Most people have a
"good" side and a "bad" side. For obvious
reasons, make sure that you point the good side to the camera
as much as possible (you'll enjoy your photos more!).
-
When actually posing
for a photograph, point your body at a forty-five degree angle
toward the camera. Then turn your head to face the lens directly. Point the foot closest to the camera directly toward it
and point the other foot parallel to it. You don't want your head and body to face the camera
straight on. Practice - like we said before, you don't want to look
stiff and awkward.
