Poses for grooms on their wedding day
Wondering how to pose a groom on his wedding day? We know that guys can sometimes tense-up in front of the camera. Helping him through some poses is the best way to make him feel comfortable in front of the camera and get the best photos on his wedding day. This guide is going to help you do exactly that!
When posing grooms on their wedding day, it’s important to be very descriptive when guiding him through poses. Don’t forget to remind him of all the little details when it comes to posing, since he likely will not be thinking of them! This includes details like letting him know where to place his hands, how to position his feet, and where to look.
With that, we think the easiest way to get the best photos of grooms on their wedding day is to have a list of specific poses in the back of your mind. That way, as soon as the groom asks “What should I do?” when you point your camera at him, you’ll be ready to guide him through it all!
Here are 4 poses for grooms on their wedding day, and how to achieve them!
Pose 1: Putting on his cufflinks
Getting photos of the groom putting on and adjusting his cufflinks is an easy way to get a candid photo. It’s likely that the groom has put some thought into his cufflinks as well, so making sure to capture that detail is important on his wedding day.
Pose 2: Buttoning up his suit jacket
Getting ready photos are just as important for the groom as they are for the bride. Be sure to get some photos of the groom buttoning up his suit jacket, or adjusting his tie/bowtie. Again, these are great ways to get effortless candid photos, while also capturing meaningful details about his wedding day look.
Pose 3: Leaning against the wall
Directing the groom to lean against a wall for a photo is a great way to make him feel more posed, but still natural. One huge tip we have here is to always help direct the groom’s hands! Ask him to put his hands in his pocket, or hold the lapel of his suit jacket.
Pose 4: Sitting, folding his hands
Seated photos are great to take with grooms. Again, just be sure to direct his hands. We love asking him to fold his hands, or we give him a prop to hold on to, like a glass with a drink or his boutineer. Don’t forget to also let the groom know which direction to look in. Changing up the angle of his gaze is a great way to provide variety in his photos.
