Strike a pose

Our experts share some words of wisdom...

My partner and I are really nervous in front of the camera. What are your top tips for posing on the day?

It’s all about distraction. Your photographer should have the people skills to know how to engage with you both and find the things that help you bounce off each other. When there’s movement and conversation you lose the tension. Going for a walk and occasionally sitting down in some picture-perfect spots will allow you the freedom to interact with one another. This will start to show the idiosyncrasies that make you who you are as a couple, like how you hold hands, link arms, kiss or tease each other.  
Even in the moments when you feel self-conscious, it can still work brilliantly on camera. Spontaneous giggles when you’re feeling awkward often make great shots as it shows your personality.

Remember, this is your special day and you’re in your best clothes, surrounded by family and friends. With a great photographer to capture it, the odds are stacked heavily in favour of you having an album you’ll cherish forever.
