Five Amazing Ways To Make Your Pre-Wedding Photography Shine
He just proposed, and she's as giddy as a schoolgirl. That happiness will radiate for weeks - or at least until the stress of planning a wedding takes hold! Capture those feelings with pre-wedding photography (also known as engagement photography).
In order to get a timeless, beautiful look for your pre-wedding photography, follow five tips that will ensure the focus is on you, the newly engaged couple, and not your clothes or the background.
1. Dress in classic styles that you're comfortable in. If you're normally a dressy gal, then go ahead and buy a special new dress or skirt for the occasion. If you're a jeans and T-shirt person, though, don't try to dress up just to dress up. The discomfort will show on your face, so stick to jeans (clean!) and a dressier top. A simple outfit in a solid color is your best bet, and make sure your significant other is wearing a color that complements yours.
2. Don't dress in up-to-the minute trends. While you think it looks great now, in about 20 years, you'll feel the same way as you do now when you view '80s photos. In other words, it dates the photo and makes it more about the fashion than the couple. Along the same lines, take off your eyeglasses for the photos, if possible. They are one of the easiest ways to tell in what era a photograph was taken.
3. When posing for the camera, smile with your whole face. What that means is to let that smile radiate through your face into your eyes. Don't be afraid to smile with your mouth open a bit or even laugh during the photo shoot. This brings a twinkle into your eyes and shows how truly happy you two are.
4. Push your face toward the camera when posing for a photo. To make this easier, pretend you're a turtle and crane out neck out your shell toward the camera. This shouldn't be forced, just a slight push forward to reduce double chins (not that we're suggesting you have one!) and tighten facial skin. It might feel a little strange to you, but the camera won't be able to capture your contortion - just the effect it has on your appearance.
5. Go for a fun and relaxed look. Posed photos are boring! You can hardly romp around in your wedding dress, so this is the time for you to get some shots of you and your fiancee having fun! Roll around on the ground, climb a few trees, play on the stairwell - the overall result of your pre-wedding photography will be much more charming. - 2361
