Posing Tips for the Groom

No. 1: Project confidence with love.

Men like to be seen as confident, but sometimes that confidence can be taken a bit too far. Instead, practice finding fun-loving ways to be confident with your partner like making jokes, sexy conversations, dancing, tickling, dating and flirting. 

This is what I ask male clients in order to get the best groom photos. 

If you want to be confident, then show the world that you don’t care if they see how in love you are with your partner. Especially on your wedding day!

Question to ponder: How can you show confidence with love?

No. 2: Let go of how you look.

Most often, the eyes of your wedding guests will be on your partner. You should be more focused on how you can fill your partner with love than how you look because that’s what you want to project. If you are in a “loving mindset” it will come through in your photos.  

How you look on your wedding day matters. But as soon as you put your suit or tuxedo on there is nothing else that you can change or control. So, let go of your insecurities because those will come across in photos!

Question to ponder: How do I want to look in my wedding photos?

No. 3: Honestly … be sexier.

Lots of men are afraid to be sexy with their partners because they want to be accepted by male peers who might judge them as weak or feminine. The reality is quite the opposite. In fact, many men admire other men who can openly express a slightly more feminine side like allowing conversations to be silly, touching your partner’s body, saying loving things, singing, dancing, making art, etc.

The key here is to be authentic and to openly express your love. Practice both of these things well before your wedding day and you will be a natural in front of any photographer or videographer camera lens.
