Hi this is Vanessa Joy here with Breathe Your Passion on AdoramaTV and I'm going to show you a few quick tips on how to pose a bride. Im a wedding photographer, New Jersey and this is Catherine she's also a wedding photographer, so she might know a few things and and help us out even more. A few things you think when you're posing a bride. Number one, big tip every bride I.
Don't care how beautiful she is or how
skinny she is, always thinks she looks fat so you want to make sure we eliminate that
problem. It's funny some of my in thinest brides are the ones that are the most self conscious and as a photographer it's your job to make sure they look amazing. So first off a
typical pose that I usually have with my bride is I have them mirror me. I want you
guys to see so I'm going to face this way but you're going to start off with your foot
forward, youre going to face this camera here because Im going to stand there.
Lets switch your feet so you're doing exactly what I'm doing, so you left foot goes forward, youre going to lean on your back leg and the reason we lean on
the back leg is we are going to push our hips away from the camera. Anything that you
want to be smaller moves away from the camera, so that is hips and then second its usually arms. So you are just going to hold onto your dress and perfect youve got that bend in the elbow. Now
when she's bending her elbow you want to make sure that there is space between
her arm and her waist, if you push them together like this, it's going to kind of
create the illusion that it's all one piece and we want to break up the pieces here.
So you want to make sure you can see her waistline which is gorgeous, thank you. So thats another thing you want to do. Weve put her hips back, weve created a little bit of a waistline here and then we
want to make sure that her body is not facing the same direction as her head. Which shes
already doing.
So her body is facing this direction, her head we are going to have her turn a little bit that way. Im just going back up, I'm going to get my exposure here first and I do that by the way
through live view typically, so I'm going to get what I want to do. We're at 800 on my
shutter speed, f/2.5 On my aperture and my ISO is at 400. Perfect.
Im going to back up. Go ahead and bring your head down that way a little bit. Nice. Look at me.
Big cheesy smile. Gorgeous. See just how beautiful her skin looks, every part of her looks dynamic she looks thin and gorgeous and thats defiantly what we are going for. Sometimes having that dead on look is nice and it tends to be a little bit popular right now just kind of that standing
there very natural, very like you caught that bride in that moment.
So thats whats we are going to do. She's doing a really good job doing it by herself. If she had a
bouquet you just kind of hold it, but right now you can just kind of play with your ring, your wedding ring, perfect. By having her bender arms were creating that space in her waist.
Were
also making sure that she's not flat-footed you don't want her just standing down. You want her giving a little lean. This is going to give her body a little bit more curve. Youre just going to lean on one leg, either one, you know what the leg youre not leaning on you can just give your foot a little kick.
She looks awesome. Im going to come back here. The same exposure. Nice, beautiful.
Right off the bat, I dont see her hand and I want to make sure I see her hand. So when you grab your dress bring it in front. This hand can come up a little bit more. Just like right here and grab your dress, beautiful.
I always love adding movement finally, adding movement to your bride because she doesnt just have to stand there and that can be a little bit boring. So what Im going to have you do, take two more steps backwards. One, two. Right there.
First youre just going to hold your dress and youre going to go back and forth. Just like Cinderella, you know just a little
girl in her wedding dress. Perfect Then lately what you are going to do, take one more step backwards and you're going to walk towards me just like you're doing a catwalk. So go ahead take a walk towards me.
Perfect. Just in a few minutes we've got a ton of pictures of our bride. So thank you so much Catherine. Make sure that you subscribe to AdoramaTV on the bottom here because we will be doing a lot more posing with the bride and groom and I will see you next time.
