Inspire- Me- Mondays: Top Ten New Wedding Party Poses

I'm excited to share part three of our series on creative poses for weddings. If you missed the first two posts- they were lots of fun. You can check out my top 10 new poses for bridesmaids HERE and my top ten new poses for groomsmen HERE . This week, I'm excited to share with you ten new creative poses for the bridal party.

1) Standing Casually

This is one that I do often and clients really enjoy. Having  the bridal party standing casually looking at each other, talking, laughing, or walking. It looks very natural and sweet.

2)  Jumping

 

 

 

3) Standing in couples- dispersed

Have the couples stand together staggered across the backdrop. Not everything should be symetrical.

4) Standing in couples- but not all paired up

I really liked this image but I couldn't put my finger on what was different about it- then finally I realized, some people were grouped in couples and others were posed individually. I like how that breaks things up. Anything assymetrical is a hit in my book!

 

5) Bride and groom in front- bridal party behind

I do really love this, where  the bride and groom stand in front, and the bridal party is lined up in back. You can do it formal or casual (where the bridal party is talking and laughing in back and maybe the b & g are kissing in the front) and extra points if you make the bridal party blurred out in the background and the b & g in focus in the front :)

 ... or vice versa... bridal party in front... b & g in back...

6) Sitting

But not all neatly in a line... gotta spruce it up a bit!

7) Standing and sitting combo

A bit of both is a nice visual breakup

8) Making creative use of the enviroment

As a photographer, I always arrive about 15 minutes before scheduled and take a whirl around the venue. I look for interesting set ups, and try to think of how I could creatively compose a shot. I try to think outside the box, and not to do what's expected.  I REALLY love the picture below, it's so creative and modern.

 

9) Using Props

Whether it be balloons,  sunglasses, mustaches, letters, sparklers... or even as this shot below... Target shopping carts scope out your enviroment or bring a  prop to have fun with.

10) Heads together in a huddle

I like how the bride and groom are off centered and they're kissing.

and on a closing note...

ARE YOU SERIOUS ?!?! If you need a good laugh and a dose of EXTREME cheesyness.. just google "bridal party creative poses" ... oh boy.. there are some tacky photographers out there my friend. This one topped the charts for me

That's just wrong on so many levels.  My goodness. Anyways, hopefully it made you laugh! Hope you found some inspiring poses for your big day.
