The art of Posing
Your wedding film serves a far greater purpose than simply announcing your new relationship statuson social media and decorating the walls of your home. Long after you've exchanged vows, shared your first dance, and cut that first slice of cake, your wedding film is a lasting reminder of the day you and your spouse committed to a lifetime together. Through them, you (and generations to come!) can relive every special moment of the day you said "I do."
The importance of these films also means that couples tend to feel a significant amount of pressure to ensure they're perfect. So, how do you do it? Hiring a great wedding videographer—one whose work you love and are able to form a wonderful connection with—is step one. After that, trusting them to guide you towards natural and beautiful moments is key.
Here ARE ten best tips to keep in mind when posing for your Film.
Relax: The biggest piece of advice is to relax and have fun. By being in the moment, your wedding films will capture authentic, unposed moments. Your focus should be on reveling in this special moment, and let the videographer do their job.
Stand Up Straight: Great posture is the secret to more flattering shots. Standing up straight ensures you look your best in every frame. It's a simple yet effective tip to remember.
Don't Lock Your Knees or Elbows: While good posture is important, maintaining relaxed knee and elbow joints is crucial. It creates a more natural look in your wedding films.
Watch the Angle of Your Chin: Avoid holding your chin too high or tilting your head too far, as it can look awkward for the shot. Communicate your preferences to your videographer to make on-the-spot adjustments.
Make Sure Your Pockets Are Empty: Bulging pockets can distract from the elegant look of your outfit. Leave your cell phone, keys, and wallet at venue to keep your film looking polished.
Keep Your Jacket Buttoned: If you're wearing a jacket, make sure at least one button is fastened during the shoot. Your videographer will guide you to open it when necessary.
Lose the Hair Ties and Smart Watches: Check your wrists before the shoot begins, as hair ties and smartwatches can detract from the overall look of your video.
Point Your Feet Toward Your Partner: For more intimate wedding film, have your feet pointed toward the camera instead of away from each other. It creates a natural sense of togetherness.
Get Close: In photo or video, closeness is key. Don't be overly distant or disconnected from your partner. Being physically connected and touching in portraits makes for more intimate and genuine moments.
Don't Try to Pose: Instead of overthinking your poses, let your natural connection and affection shine through. The best films often come from living in the moment and letting the love between you two show naturally.
By following these tips and trusting your videographer, your wedding films would beautifully capture the love and joy of your special day. Remember to stay relaxed, enjoy the moment, and let your genuine connection shine through in every frame. trust us you’ll thank us everytime you back and watcht the film!
