The No Pose Wedding Couple

I shot this wedding as a 2nd and the bride was super adamant about nothing being posed. Formals were a challenge and I'm glad I wasn't lead. People don't seem to realize little posing hints make you look 10x better but whatever, to each his own.

Shot with 5dm2 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. C and C welcome.

Most people associate posing with being rigid and uncomfortable. It is sometimes hard to communicate that you can have posing that looks and feels completely natural & makes you look great.

Right like sometime I'll say "practice your first dance" and let them get comfortable in that "pose" this bride didn't want to be told anything

Nice shots, flare is distracting in #5 personally.

Great pics, but as tony said, I believe the flare is a little too much for that picture

Exactly. They probably had a few bad experiences with overly picky posing photographers. I've not yet had a couple so picky they told me no posing allowed. Unless they know how to pose themselves well, every couple needs guidance as they can't see what the photographer sees.

#1 and #3 could use more saturation and deeper blacks and seem a little cool to me
