Wedding Tip: Looking great in photos (courtesty of Weddings Made Splendid)
The following was written by Meaghan of "Weddings Made Splendid" http://www.weddingsmadesplendid.com/
The more time I spend in this industry the more amazing photographers I have the honor to know. Many of them are featured on my blog in my Vendor Spotlights.
Amazing photographers, 9 times out of 10, take amazing pictures of their subject, whether it's a bride and groom, a sunset, a baby, or a classic car. However, they can't make us skinnier, or less squinty-eyed, or get rid of a sweaty forehead. These little "photo blahs" are, thankfully, something we can control to some extent. So here are a few tricks of the photography trade that I've had the pleasure of learning while spending time with some of San Diego's top photographers.
Avoid the "beauty pageant" look: shoulders square to the camera and hips turned away from the camera. You might look "Hollywood" but you'll look posed.
Avoid fat upper arms! Do your best to keep your arms slightly away from your body, or resting on flat surfaces to avoid the pancake affect.
Don't thrust your shoulders back and your chest out. Whatever is closest to the camera looks the largest. Try to keep your shoulders relaxed and soft.
Prevent your eyes from watering or looking "squinty" in images by keeping your eyes closed until the photographer is ready to shoot.
Less is more: less make up, less hair spray. Looser hair looks less severe in images. Less powder means a less "cakey" look in your images. A light dusting of powder before your photographs should be enough to keep your shine to a minimum.
Eye shadow colors should be as neutral as possible. Modern Bride magazine recommends "lavender, copper, navy and slate" saying that these colors flatter everyone.
Mascara should be your last make up application. This prevents any dust from the eye shadow, blush or foundation/face powder from dulling the effect of the mascara.
And lastly: Just. Breathe. Try not to hold your breath - holding your breath inadvertently makes you puff out your cheeks and your chest, and ends up with a very "tight" looking picture. "Loose" pictures make better pictures.
Most importantly - have fun. Love your photographer and be excited about the images they are going to present you with after your wedding! Until next time...You cut the cake; I'll cut the chaos!
