We don’t want him or her cheesing it up in the background of your kiss. Want to kiss twice? There are no rules- go for it!īonus– Have your officiant step to the side as they are pronouncing you as a married couple for the First Kiss. This is your first kiss as a married couple! Make it long and proud! This also gives you photographer a longer chance to snap some cute shots. Wrap around the waist? Someone’s holding the others face? Does it feel comfortable and natural? The best is when you are both holding each other! 2. Give it a whirl and pay attention to two things: 1. Here’s the fix: during your rehearsal, (or even in the privacy of your own home), talk to your partner about practicing The Kiss. Often the couple looks like a dear in headlights, awkwardly holding onto one another (if at all) and the kiss is so brief that many of your loved ones miss it! I know this one sounds funny, but you are probably super looking forward to your First Kiss photo, right? What if I told you that these photos can be super awkward if not practiced first. Hold your sweetie’s hands and stare into their beautiful eyes as you two officially become married! 6. They (and your photographer) don’t want to stare at the back of your head the entire ceremony. Everyone is here to see you and support your love so let’s ensure you are connecting with your partner and letting everyone else share in a little bit to this sweet moment. It breaks my heart when couples stand with their backs to their loved ones, 5ft apart, staring at the officiant. You are in love with your partner, let’s show that to the camera a little! You can have your ceremony photos feel more romantic by one simple trick- hold your partner’s hands during the ceremony. Nothing is worse than having a loved one step into the aisle with their phone to snap a shot of your First Kiss, only to block both your photographer and videographer from getting the shot.Īn unplugged ceremony can be easily achieved by having a request to your guests be printed on the ceremony pamphlets, having a little sign as they enter the ceremony site, and having your officiant make a comment before he or she begins the official ceremony.

Encourage your guests to leave their phones and camera down and be fully present in the moment with you. I should’ve put this tip as the first one because it is the MOST important tip I can offer couples who are hoping to have a photogenic ceremony. Make sure your MOH is aware of these two things, and practice this during your rehearsal if you have the chance. She is also responsible to fluffing the Bride’s dress once she is settled at the altar so that it looks gorgeously placed for the duration of the ceremony.

Traditionally, the Maid of Honor will collect the Bride’s bouquet after she has made it down the aisle and is about to join hands with her partner.
