Three Tips for Posing a Bride and Groom

One of the most fun conversations I have with other photographers is with portrait photographers. I love chatting with them about posing and techniques. Partly, it's because I think they know so much more about it than I do, but also because we have very different work environments.

I have the metadata to prove that my wedding from three weeks ago gave me 1 minute and 48 seconds between first and last directed shot with my couple. A 108-second portrait session that yielded 17 final images from those few seconds between my second shooter and I. I consider that a huge win.

I'm a perfectionist at heart, so while I'd love to pose my brides and grooms intricately, I'm not given the luxury of time, choosing location, or having an input on wardrobe. Some days, I have such a short amount of time with the bride and groom alone that I have to decide if I should take the time to better that hand placement or get four more shots that will help fill a wedding album and tell a story.

Even though the hand placement will bug me for months afterwards, I choose the story, every time.

You can see how I managed to get 15+ useable images from a 5-minute bride and groom session in Posing a Bride and Groom. My basic thought process through a typical wedding day session with a bride and groom goes something like this:

1. Know Your Obstacles

The first tip I have to give when posing a bride a groom on a wedding day is you have to know what you're working with. Are you short on time? Is it raining, and are you only allowed to use one corner of the venue, because another bride is using the prettier side? Do you have a bride that only likes to be photographed on one side? Is your groom an impatient one?

There are so many complications that wedding photographers face, but they can all be overcome if you just take a second to evaluate them and come up with a plan from there. On the contrary, if you're not aware that you only have five minutes with the bride and groom and decide to spend three of them fine-tuning a pose, you may end up with one amazing picture, but your couple may be left wanting.

2. Know Your Couple

I recently had a debate with another photographer about my attempting to make women look "skinny" while posing them. While I still hold my ground that my subjects do want to look as flattering as possible in slimming poses (not Photoshopped), it made me realize that there needs to be more communication with my clients. As photographers, we should have open dialogues with our clients before or while we're photographing them. What are their favorite features? What parts of their body are they self-conscious about? In order to capture our subject's best side, we need to first understand their self-image. When posing a bride and groom, take the time to understand them and how they view themselves.

3. Know Your Flow

This takes me back to the days when I was watching Doug Gordon talk about flow-posing on a tradeshow floor. While his style and mine are very different, the concept is still the same, and it is an invaluable one.

Part of the value of being a professional photographer a few years into the game is having a bag a tricks you can pull from, posing included. I have a few basic go-to poses that I pull from if I need to pose quickly or when I'm drawing a creative blank. They're easy poses that I can adapt to fit most any couple and even alter them to have a fun and spunky or soft and romantic feel. Have a set of poses that you can quickly use in any situation.

Wedding Guests Bully, Taunt One Woman for Wearing a Skintight Dress to the Celebration

Everyone knows not to wear solid white to a wedding, but one woman was bullied for showing up in a skintight body-con dress. 

The Breeze Waikato, a radio station in New Zealand, posted a photo of the woman wearing her sexy outfit to its Facebook page on June 26. The woman — whose face is blurred —strikes a pose in a thigh-grazing mini. 

"Can we get some advice from you please?" the Breeze Waikato wrote. "A friend wore this dress to a wedding this weekend and got targeted big time. She says she got treated rudely by other women at the wedding who saw her as a target for wearing this dress."

Hollywood's Hottest Married Couples

The caption continued: "A woman came up behind her and slapped her on the bum and said it was a dare from a group of other women who were watching and snickering. Someone else seemingly purposely spilt a beer on her. She's amazed that grown women could be so immature and such bullies. OK, but wait. She wants to know — did she bring ANY of this on herself by wearing this dress to a wedding? Your thoughts?"

The post received more than 500 comments, many of them supportive.

"I actually can't believe that happened!! That is awful. I can only assume it was jealousy. I think you look fantastic and in all fairness if you turned up in a bikini it still wouldn't give people the right to slap you or throw stuff at you. Unbelievable."

Another chimed in: "She looks HOT! I'd be more than happy to have my friends dressed like that if it was my wedding. And I'd be ashamed if I had guests there that would treat someone this way."

National etiquette expert Diane Gottsman tells Us Weekly that at a wedding, all eyes are supposed to be on the happy couple — especially the bride and her gorgeous gown. "She's the No. 1 showstopper," Gottsman points out. But that said, the expert notes that while the bullied guest "may or may not have chosen the right dress for the wedding, there is never a good reason to be petty or uncivil."

And if you're unsure about whether your attire would fit the dress code? "Call and ask," Gottman advises.

Photo of mom breastfeeding during her wedding goes viral

MONTREAL, Canada (MEDIA GENERAL) — What did Christina Torini-Benton do when her 9-month-old daughter got hungry in the middle of her wedding ceremony? She fed her, of course.

And the beautiful photo of Torini-Benton breastfeeding her daughter Gemma in the front pew of Resurrection of Our Lord Church in Lachine, Quebec, on June 18 has gone viral.

Torini-Benton posted the photo on the Facebook page Breastfeeding Mama Talk, writing, "That moment when you're getting married and your baby gets hungry😉 feeling SO proud of myself! Fighting that good fight!"

The photo has since been shared hundreds of times, encouraging other moms to post similar photos.

Breastfeeding bride Jade Wolfe posted a photo of her breastfeeding in her wedding dress with the caption: "Ten minutes before I walked down the aisle! It's one of my favorite photos from the day!"

Danielle Shab also posted a photo feeding her 8-month-old son, writing, "Love this! This was on my wedding day, during the reception."

Torino-Benton told People Magazine she tried to allow family to calm Gemma down but her mother's instinct quickly kicked in. She knew what she had to do.

"I tried for maybe two minutes to allow some family members to calm her down, but having missed her nap, and in that heat, it wasn't going to happen," she recalled. "There was no question. I had to nurse, and I wasn't hesitant about it at all."

Torini-Benton told The Huffington Post no one, not even the priest, cared she was nursing her daughter.

"The people at my wedding were not surprised with me feeding Gemma mid-ceremony because I'm always feeding her at some point or another in front of them," she said.

She made the post on Breastfeeding Mama Talk thinking she'd get a few hundred likes. She never thought the post would go viral.

She says she's been met with "nothing but positive vibes" since.

"Everyone has been very encouraging and supportive," Torini-Benton told The Huffington Post.

She's no stranger to heartbreak following her public break-up with The Bachelor 'love rat' Blake Garvey two months ago.

But it certainly looked as if Louise Pillidge had found her 'happily ever after' moment as she posed for a wedding photo shoot with a handsome mystery man.

The 28-year-old was pictured displaying her slender frame in a plunging white bridal gown as she enjoyed her 'first dance'.

Louise played the role of blushing bride to perfection as she cuddled up to a male companion in promotional shots for an upcoming fashion event.

The reality TV star appeared a picture of bliss alongside her 'husband' while they put on a very affectionate display for the cameras.

Meanwhile, she recently shared several behind-the-scenes images from the photo shoot on her blog Louise Pillidge Lifestyle.

Louise placed third in The Bachelor 2014, but later began dating series hunk Blake after he abruptly ended his engagement to winner Sam Frost.

The Perth auctioneer, 33, was later branded Australia's 'most hated man' for unceremoniously dumping Sam just five weeks after his proposal.

Meanwhile, his decision to enter a relationship Louise drew public scrutiny, which she later admitted was 'hard to move on from'.

In April, Blake and Louise called off their 18-month romance - but caused controversy yet again by posing for a 'break-up' photo shoot in New Idea.

Shiv Gohil: Snapping the speedsters in photography's fast lane

The 33-year-old Briton is a regular on the Formula E circuit and recently returned from Le Mans, capturing all the action -- day and night -- in the historic 24-hour race.

Here, Gohil gives an insight into life trackside, snapping his hero Michael Schumacher and shares his thoughts on who will be crowned this year's Formula E world drivers' champion in London on July 3.

Shiv Gohil: "I've been a wedding photographer since 2006 -- I'm still doing it. Before that I was a graphic designer.

"My dad's side of the family come from a long line of photographers. My grandad was a photographer in Kenya and he had one of the first photo studios in Kenya. My dad got it from him and my uncle is a photographer as well.

"My family are huge motorsport fans -- no one watches football or rugby — it's just engines and wheels!

"My dad was always a big motorsport fan -- so the Prost, Piquet, Senna era in the 1980s. He was well into, because of his roots in Kenya, the safari rally and things like that. Because it was such remote village, when the rally used to come that was the only exposure to motorsport -- that's where he got his interest.

"'Super Monaco GP' was my first game on the (SEGA) MegaDrive -- so that was planting the seeds early."

CNN: Who is your motorsport hero?

SG: "I started watching F1 in the early 90s, I think the first race that I ever watched -- I was nine years old -- was the Belgium race (1992) when Michael Schumacher won his first race. Dad was already an established Senna fan and although i supported him, it was nice to go down my own route. I remember watching races and wanting Michael to win.

CNN: What was your first photography job in motorsport?

SG: "I was very, very lucky. There is a motorsport website called Badger GP and I knew them through Twitter. (In 2012) I had invested a lot of time and money in going to Formula One races because with Schumacher's comeback it might be his final year so I really wanted to see his final few races.

"I went to Barcelona testing as a spectator and gave Badger GP the images and I went to the Monaco GP and got a few VIP balcony passes and on the pit straight and on yachts -- I paid a lot of money! And that's when Michael got his final pole [a five place grid penalty saw him start the race in 6th] I was quite happy -- I was screaming from the rooftops.

"Then in 2013, Badger GP had photo passes for the final test in Barcelona -- so my first accredited gig was actually a F1 test, which is pretty incredible considering most people start quite low on the ladder. I started at the top and stayed there."

CNN: What are your tips for taking good track shots?

SG: "Try not to go to the same places that other people go to (around the track) -- that can be quite challenging on Formula E's street circuits because there is usually one access path or road. Try and do something different from someone else.

"I like to take more difficult shots -- I try to go for shots where the execution is one out of 20 or 30 but that shot is absolutely great. So when building a portfolio and you are unknown and want to get your foot on the ladder, you're better off having a handful of fantastic shots instead of many average shots.

"Try and work different areas, try and go to different places with established tracks. Being closer to the cars doesn't necessarily mean a better shot. Sometimes getting context, people in the background, getting blurs makes it a lot more interesting."

CNN: Does Formula E differ from other motorsport you cover?

SG: "With Formula E it definitely has a bit more of a family feel. Everyone wants to make the sport work. I get the feeling with Formula E that everyone is helping each other.

"You could also say that because there is not much noise everyone can talk to each other when it's happening! Funnily enough when you are out on track it's a lot louder. Because the cars are so close, the vibrations from hitting the curbs and cars brushing the wall you can definitely feel the sound when the cars hit each other, brake, lock up -- the TV doesn't pick up on that."

CNN: Highlights from the season?

SG: "From a fan point of view, Renault -- who won't like me saying this -- have dropped the ball a few times and opened up the championship. I say that in the nicest way because Sebastien (Buemi) is an amazing driver and he's had a few problems and Nico (Prost) has had technical difficulties -- that's opened up the constructors' and drivers' championship.

"With Lucas (di Grassi) being so consistent and Daniel (Abt) getting the odd podium here and there -- both championships are totally open and I think going into London with two rounds remaining and one point (separating Buemi and di Grassi) is just brilliant.

What's your favorite track?

SG: "I really enjoyed Buenos Aires as a track. I really enjoyed the city -- it's beautiful. I would recommend anyone to go, even the race -- it's just got a great vibe. The people are very friendly, the architecture, the weather's amazing and the temperature is perfect. The track had a lot of characteristics I liked -- certain walkways, the trees, the elevated sections, the high-rise buildings next to the track."

Buenos Aires hosted round four of the 2015-16 Formula E World Championship.

Who are you tipping to win the Formula E championship?

SG: "I have a feeling that di Grassi will do it. The latter half of the season has belonged to him, I feel. I think Buemi has to really pull it out of the bag and be consistent -- only then will it work out for him."
