A wedding PEP talk: Position, Expression & Posing. Following these tips and tricks can be a huge help in crafting a gorgeous wedding video.

AIM TO FLATTER

During formal pictures, stand at a slight angle, not straight on. Remember the basics: Take a deep breath, exhale, then tilt your chin down and look up. The light plays a huge role in defining your face and giving it shape – a great wedding photographer knows how to seek out light that will flatter your body type and make it look its absolute best.

ENJOY YOURSELF

There is no substitute for being comfortable and acting natural. Having a relationship with your photographer and videographer can go a long way in allowing you to relax and just be yourself. The best photos and films are always the sincere ones – so don’t be afraid to be real! Laugh, cry, and trust your photographer and videographer to capture those moments.

FORGET TO STAND UP STRAIGHT

You do not have to stand straight up, well when we want to take that iconic photo of your Wedding ¡¡YES!!. During your Wedding don’t be afraid to be real! Laugh, cry, and trust your photographer and videographer to capture those moments.

IT’S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS

You’ve planned for months and dreamt of this day your entire life – its OKAY to be nervous, and its okay to show it! In fact, the best wedding albums are the ones that capture these real moments. Raw emotions make for fantastic stories and wedding photography.

ASK FOR SOME TIME ALONE

Take a couple minute alone to savour the moment – you’re now officially married! Your wedding photographer and videographer can use longer lenses to allow you two a private moment, while still capturing it discretely from a distance.

GO FOR A STROLL

Hold hands and take a walk is always a great Posing Tips – the wind blowing the dress and adding energy to your hair makes for great shots.

KISS!

It’s your wedding – people won’t mind! Have a good time and don’t be afraid to let your affection show. When you let your guard down, that’s where the real magic is for wedding photography.

USE THE UNIQUE PARTS OF YOUR LOCATION

It can be cool to incorporate parts of the scenery into your wedding photos. If there is a field of long golden grass, take a stroll through it. If you’re near to the lake, why don’t you paddle out in a rowboat? No matter where you are in the Mallorca, you’re guaranteed to have something unique at your location to incorporate.

FIND YOUR BACKDROP

A great backdrop with good light practically guarantees a winning photo! In Mallorca we’re so blessed to have stunning landscapes and views practically everywhere we go – so take advantage of that for your wedding photography! Generally, your wedding photographer is after more than just photos of lined up and posing, so take some time to just hang out and act natural between each shot. Enjoy the moment!

GET MOVING

Just like with the bride and groom, a stroll with the wedding party is great. We can even grab shots of you walking from location to location – so have a good time and do your best to forget about the wedding photographer or wedding videographer, so we can catch those in between moments.

MAKE IT SPONTANEOUS

Staggering the people in your wedding photography can be really effective and move away from the posed look.

GIVE THE GUYS DOING SOMETHING TO DO

Most men aren’t runway models – so posing is going to feel unnatural and awkward to them. We love to capture the guys doing something – clinking Scotch glasses, playing some football or doing what guys do. Let them have a good time!

AND THAT IS IT!

Following these poses can be a huge help in crafting gorgeous wedding photography you’ll cherish forever. But there is one last tip that we think outweighs all of the rest when it comes to killer wedding photos:

FORGET THE CAMERAS, BE YOURSELVES, AND SAVOUR THE MOMENTS!

At the end of the day, its usually not the posed shots that people rave about – its those candid moments when magic is in the air, and for a few split seconds everyone forgets about the cameras and just enjoys the moment. That is our number one tip and also our number one goal as your Mallorca Wedding photographers – to not have you see us as the cameramen, but as friends who are there to have a good time and catch it on film while it happens.
