Posing, holding flowers, hints

[Laurie]

I thought this was interesting and wanted to pass it along..

I have had the opportunity to review alot of brides pictures and I have to say that I have noticed a lot of brides and bridesmaids holding their bouquets at their chests and this link below does give a lot of great hints that I will be passing on to my photographer...

Thanks for posting that link -- I like a lot of what that bride had to say and was glad to know some terminology -- like "tight" shots. I always say close up and that's never what I mean!

In everyones defense....it's very hard to hold a bouquet lower then what appears to be chest level. My bouquet was fairly large and it felt like I was holding them at my waist but the pictures show at chest level. It's very difficult with everything going on to remember to conciously hold them lower then what feels normal. Hence, the flowers look higher then what they feel like while you're holding them.

Good tips! How much I'll actually remember the day of-who knows? I'm flaky like that! I'll just be happy to not blink in every picture, which is sort of my M.O. I told my photographer if I do, to just go back through and add giant cartoon eyes to every picture! Thanks for sharing that link!

Great link! I think I'm going to print it out and circle the ones I like and give it to my photographer ahead of time. Hopefully we're going to get our engagement snaps at the same place as the wedding, so he/she will be able to get ideas ahead of time.

I blink in all my pictures too! I had a photographer tell me to open my eyes very wide for pictures and that worked! Thanks for posting this link, since we ae thinking of having a friend take our pictures it will be nice to show him this link. He mostly photographs architecture.
