You might not even realize a wedding photographer is taking the photos half the time, and you will likely be more than impressed with the outcome.

Your wedding photographs should capture many happy, natural moments throughout the day. For this reason, you mustn't adopt poses, change your behavious, or pose like a celeb. Instead, find ways to make yourself look and feel beautiful on your big day, try to become more comfortable in front of the camera, and kiss, laugh, chat, and danve like your photographer isn't watching.
