When you think of being in love and the way a first kiss makes you feel, many people think about the leg pop. When you’re swooning, the leg just wants to pop up. So, when you’re taking pictures with the one you love and it starts to feel more awkward than romantic, here are some pointers for getting a picture-perfect leg pop. Note that the leg pop is best when it creates a triangle.
Tippy Toes! I love the way this looks because it seems so sweet. It also really helps that being on your tippy toes helps to elongate your legs and makes your calves look good.
If you don’t need to go on your tippy toes because you’re wearing heels or are tall enough to reach your partner, then arch that back and create “shape”. Put your hips into your partner. Hey hey… stop it with the sexual thoughts. It’s to create shape! 
When you don’t do it, will still obviously look sweet, it just won’t have the same long line.
I call this the leg pop lift. Do the leg pop while your mate picks you up. It looks sweet and endearing. right?
I love this shot. It’s got all the qualities of a great leg pop photo, and then some!
And here is one of my own from Hanssie Trainor. I’m wearing 4 inch heels, so I tried to work the lean into your partner move because tippy toes were not going to work. Did it work? Maybe I could use a little more curve next time, huh?
What other favorite couple’s move do you like to see in engagement and/or wedding photos?
So adorable. I tried that and fell over. I’m special.
You 2 are so damn cute! The hot wings are definitely hotties!
i’m like scissors, i would probably fall over. yours is cute! and HOT shoes!
great tip! I am always on my tip toes with Fi because he is 14 inches taller then I am, so even in heels we can both barely make it in a frame together LOL! I somtimes make him sit on a stool or something and I stand (he is still above me).
love your shoes!
I love the leg pop!! My favorite engagement photo is like that!
I love the leg pop! Our photos where I tried it looked a little awkward though - I could have used this tutorial before we took our photos!!!!
I’m pretty sure I did a leg pop during ours - I think most girls can’t resist!
This post is going to be such a big help! The leg pop rocks.
Thanks for the tips, Miss Hot Wings! I’m avidly taking mental notes. 
And the visuals of “good” vs. “bad” shots are super helpful.
That adorable! I soooo had to pop my leg on some of out pic too!! 
i love all these post about how to pose for the pictures… thank you so much … i will fallow all your advices

Mrs. Hot Wings, Chicago/San Diego Age and Occupation: 28, Psych Grad Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Psych Grad Student Engagement Date: December 20, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: Ocean View Villas/Jasmine Seafood Restaurant About Me: I am a psychology grad student living in Chicago and planning my wedding to a fellow psych grad student. I am a Sunny So-Cal bred gal who trudged across the country to follow her love of psychology and ended up finding a partner in the process. I am overly passionate about anything I involve myself with. I am an activist, a foodie, a reality TV watching junkie, an over-analyzer, a photography obsesser, and am utterly cheesy to the core. This is a story of what happens when a boy and a girl meet, fall in love over academic dorkiness, and a shared love for life. We (mostly I) are planning our semi-destination wedding in my hometown of San Diego. We are excited to bring our families and friends together from across our lifespans to celebrate our future in a grand 400+ person culturally blended affair!
