The Top 3 Tips For Natural Couple Poses

One of the biggest topics I feel is discussed with couples is how to pose naturally for photos. But how do you achieve natural couple poses? This can be really hard to master. For me, the best way to master natural couple photos is by building up a friendship with your photographer before your wedding day, so you feel at ease and relaxed. It’s then more like having a friend photograph your wedding than a stranger.

Building a friendship can be done in many ways, but my favourite is to have an engagement photoshoot. Check out The Ultimate Engagement Photoshoot Guide Here

Tips For Posing Naturally

Posing naturally for photos is always a hard concept to get your head around, but so easy to achieve with a little guidance. One main point that comes up is ending a candid moment too soon. I tell my couples, if they they’re inclined to do something or move in a natural way, don’t stop.

Often I have couples smiling and laughing away perfectly, and then they suddenly remember that there’s me floating around and stop to make sure they’re in the right position. Keep going though; 9 times out of 10, you’re doing a brilliant job and your photographer will offer you guidance if they see there could be an improvement.

But where should you put your arms? It’s always hard to think what to do with your arms. Suddenly, they become an extra part of you that you have no idea what to do with. It mainly comes down to taking a deep breath and relaxing.

Here are a couple of tips: take a few deep breaths; don’t keep your arms pressed against your body; (let them flow). If you want to hold your bouquet, keep your arms elongated and relaxed – no fixed, jagged right angles.

Natural photos that capture raw emotion and personality are ideal, but producing those gorgeous, natural poses (like laughing on a golden beach or giggling under the sunset) may seem unattainable.

Here are a few silly things to do to create natural photos.
