Let’s face it: when you typically look at beautiful wedding images, you generally see the beautiful bride. The hair, makeup, the corset, lace, nails hair. The bride is invariably an absolute vision of loveliness.
It’s his wedding day too.
But, c’mon ladies, I’ve no doubt the man you're getting hitched to is a kind, gentle, sweet-natured, hard-working protector who loves puppies and knows how to use a dishwasher.
But let’s be real, you think he’s pretty cute. So, let’s show him off.
So often, the groom is extremely reticent to get in front of the lens; I often have to wrangle the groom into position and convince him not to hide!
Gentlemen, it’s your wedding day too! It’s yours, so celebrate it and trust your photographer, get in front of the lens and accept the fact that you are a sexy beast. The goddess in the wedding dress wants some badass photos of her gorgeous man so she can flex on Instagram. Give her that. She’ll love you that much more.
It’s not hard. In fact, for the groom? It’s infinitely easier than shooting the bride. All you need to do is show up, relax and look like the amazing, charming man she fell in love with. And above all else? Trust your photographer.
I’ll take you through it. I’ll show you how to sit, how to stand, how to tilt your head and how to hold your hands. Sure, your bride is absolutely stunning, and there’s no doubt she’ll steal the show. But this is an opportunity where you’re wearing a great suit, you've just had your hair manicured, and you probably did a million crunches in the lead-up to the big day.
This is your chance to show off. Don’t fear the lens and you’ll have images you can brag about to your kids one day.
