There isn’t another day in our lives when you appear in so many photos as you will on your wedding day. In addition to the stress that has to do with the preparations, menus, guest seating and the embarrassing relative who’s already making a ruckus at the bar, having to look great in all those photos might sometimes seem difficult.

Here are a bunch of tips from your friendly Toronto wedding photography specialists that should help you shake off some stress and look fabulous in your photos.

Choose Your Pose

One of the key criteria for a great photoshoot is to look sharp without seeming artificial. It is important for a photo pose to look as natural as possible, without the unnatural rigidity of artificial positioning. Browse through favourite photos of yourself and take a good look at the poses you hold when you look your best – those are the ones with which you feel most comfortable.

This feeling of comfort is what brings out natural beauty and radiates confidence. Try to keep this composure casually throughout the evening and you will look great when the camera points your way.

Ignore the Camera

This is the best way to make sure that the first suggestion works. Even when your Toronto wedding photographer asks you to stop and pose for a picture, make sure to focus on each other, or on your guests, not on the camera. Keep the conversation going and try, while giving the camera enough of your presence, to retain an independence of it, as if it wasn’t really there. Whispering a joke to your beloved’s ear and smiling will produce results that no amount of frozen “cheese”s can achieve.

Keep your Eyes Open

Squinting is one of those things that ruin even the best photos. If the sun is too bright, let your eyes rest while the photographer is between shots, but have them wide open for the snap.
