5 Tips To Take Beautiful Bridal Portraits
Every bride wants to look gorgeous on her wedding day. As photographers, we get asked all the time to
share a few tips for the bride to look beautiful in her bridal portraits. So here are a few tips to consider
while getting your bridal portraits taken…
Learn how to pose
While some are natural posers, a lot of people are not. And posing takes a lot of effort specially for
people who are “camera-shy”. But don’t hesitate to experiment different poses as this will be your big
day. Try to look through the internet for poses beforehand and practice them if necessary.
You photographer is your best friend
Talk to your photographer before and make yourself comfortable around them. As photographers, we
chat with the brides during the shoots and try to make them feel comfortable.
The right kind of makeup
Choose the right kind of makeup artist. Go through their portfolio to get an idea of the looks they are
famous for. Don’t worry if you feel like you have a lot of makeup. In pictures the makeup doesn’t appear
as heavy as it appears in real life. So go all out and let your makeup artist do their magic and make you
look flawless and pretty.
Have fun and don’t stress
Do not stress too much and enjoy your day. It is the most important day of your life so try and have fun
as much as possible.
Be yourself
Your wedding day might bring in a world of emotions, so don’t hide or shy away to express what you
really feel. Be yourself and be happy and we are always capturing all those beautiful moments for you to
cherish for a lifetime!
