Agreeing the wedding photography poses you want your photographer to capture on your wedding day is key to avoiding disappointment with your wedding photographs.

Discuss your pregnancy with your photographer

How long do you want to stand for on your wedding day? Do you want your wedding photos to be "pregnant and proud", "hide the baby bump" or both?

Discuss the sacredness of the ceremony and your views about flash photography. How would you feel if your wedding photographer walks up and down the aisle to get the best shots?

Before you sign anything or pay any money ... do you like your wedding photographer?

Are you on the same wave-length?

Formal Wedding Photography Poses

Posed formals may be taken just before or just after the ceremony. Usually taken immediately after the ceremony, consider arranging these for before the ceremony (usually at least 60 to 90 minutes before the ceremony).

Formal photos can be over in 20 minutes but can take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Everything depends on your wedding party and how many family and friends you want in the formal photo photography session.

Be realistic about how much you want to stand around on your wedding day!

Try another photography professional if you're not 100% happy!
