All brides want to have beautiful wedding pictures and if you’re not photogenically blessed, these tips from Digital Camera University may help you look your picture perfect best. (via swissmiss)

1) If you are standing - turn slightly and rest your weight on one foot. It may FEEL goofy, but you WILL look better. If you are sitting - angle to one side or the other.

2) Leaning slightly toward the camera adds interest, dimension, and a natural look to a photo…tilt your chin down just a bit to avoid the appearance of a double chin and also to prevent the camera from getting a view right up your nostrils.

3) Develop a “trigger” - a reminder to do the things that make you look good.

4) Learn to 3/4 smile.

5) Never look directly at the lens - ALWAYS, look slightly ABOVE the lens.

You should also check out Jillaly’s excellent why pics are good bio for more posing tips and popular wedding photographs.

What are your tips for looking your best in pictures?

when i did a city pageant in h.s. i was told to stand with one foot forward (45 degrees) & turn my shoulder forward… it makes your waist look thinner…

it totally works… test it out

oh… one more… if you are sitting down… don’t scoot all the way back… legs will look larger… instead scoot your bootie to the end of the chair and turn your legs to the side… it is not only for pictures but in general…

oh… and lift your arms slightly up, don’t let them rest on the side of your body… that will prevent your arms from looking bigger

open up your eyes (pretend like you have the surprise face) but with a smile.
