The Pose

Its no secret that I'm not a fan of the stiffly posed wedding photographs. Do I do posed photo's as well as unposed? Yes of course I do, however if you look at my work compared to a lot, then you will see that people look extremely relaxed and happy. When people are relaxed with a tiny bit of guidance, they pose themselves naturally.
I cringe at photo's where its obvious that a photographer has used the following formula:-
"Groom you stand like that + Bride you stand like this + Bridesmaid 1 you put your hand on your hip + Bridesmaid 2 you hold this. ect ect" Do you know what that sum equals? A waste of peoples time.
Weddings are not photo shoots! The more time you take up setting up uncomfortable poses the more of their special day you are taking away from them.
