First Kiss Photo Tip!

Pirate & 60s Bride, on April 10, 2018 at 7:51 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 1 38

In wedding ceremony photos, do you ever notice something that's uh...kinda awkward? When I was researching photo styles for our photographer, this bugged soooo much. But it's easily fixable.

TIP: When discussing the ceremony with your officiant, ask yours to step aside before you kiss. Or it'll look like he/she is photobombing your first kiss!!! Ew. So glad we did this. Love our pics. Share yours (good or bad).

    Our officiant did that for us without us asking which was nice but our photographer forgot to get this shot. Luckily my bff noticed my photographer floundering and snapped this. It's one of my favorite pictures

    You'll be fine! Smiley kiss Practice if you like. My hubby wanted it to be natural and wouldn't. He seriously planted one on me but I was so swept up in the intimate ceremony it was passionately romantic.

    Our big tip was to kiss for longer than you think because it takes the photographer a bit to get the shot. Also to not cover each other's faces (neck or jawline is okay), my DH has long freaky fingers so when he puts his hands on my face it looks like a spider crab came up from the depths and landed on my face.

    During our engagement shoot (a great time to practice poses and get feedback!) my photographer had to tell him "please stop touching her face it looks strange" 🤣

    I’ve always thought this! I’m glad I won’t be the only one asking my officiant to step to the side

    Great tip! And another is like to add is kiss long enough for people to take a picture !!!! Lol even during the cake cutting and all night ! I just went to a wedding the couple kept doing these quick peck kisses it was the weirdest thing and I just had a bunch of blurry pics of them couldn't get a single picture of them kissing the whole night. I found it strange tbh

    Very good advice! My DH surprised me with a deep, passionate kiss that lasted longer than I expected. It got quite the reaction from everyone, especially me!

    Thanks for the advice!!! Normally I wouldn't worry about this, but my FH loves attention and therefore will be thinking about everyone's reaction. I'll have to tell him to keep the kiss going for a tiny bit!
