7 Unique Wedding Pose Ideas

Social media is a great tool for finding wedding inspiration today. Sometimes though it can seem like every photo has not just been done, but overdone. That said- you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Photos become popular for a reason, and you just need to find a new way to interpret a classic. 

Here are a few ideas for finding your unique wedding pose

1. Change the perspective- There are so many great vantage points to capture moments on your wedding day. Have a wedding dress with an intricate back? Consider taking the traditional walk down the aisle or the bouquet toss picture from behind. Want to catch the guests’ reactions? Have your photographer take the first kiss shot from behind the bridal party.

2. Bridal portraits- Looking for a new take on your bridal portrait? Try having your photo taken backlit in front of a window for vintage profile feel. Looking for something with more fun and color? Consider having photos taken after your wedding at a local park or playground!

3. Stolen moments- Everyone wants a stolen moment photo. Just the couple sneaking off for a minute together to catch their breath, and a kiss. For a soft photo try taking the picture as you steal that moment together under your veil. Maybe you want a more intimate option- find a darker area and go for a backlit profile image.

4. Sparklers- Sparklers in photos are becoming popular, so find your own way to put a spin on it- try writing your initials, or your wedding date.

5. Accessories- You spent so much time making sure all the details were perfect- why not show them off? Make sure to get a close up of your ring, your shoes, or anything else you want to remember. Try grouping them together in your bridal suite or somewhere outside.

6. Recreate a vintage photo- A fun way to express your love and who you are as a couple. There are so many great, romantic photos like the War’s End Times Square kiss, the National Guardsman hanging out the train window to kiss his wife goodbye. For music fans, maybe John Lenon and Yoko Ono drawing on the bed or Louis Armstong playing for his wife in Giza. Whichever way you go, you can’t go wrong!

7. Photo as a focal point- Everyone is carrying a camera these days. Whether it is a phone, a DSLR, or an instant camera- take advantage of it. Take a photo of the bridesmaids snapping a pic with their phone, or camera. Looking for another twist? Take a photo with the instant camera, then use the photo as a clear shot of the blurred background.

No matter what photos you decide to take at your wedding, the big day will be special so don’t forget to celebrate!
