Alright, alright, let’s talk about them groom and bride poses, you know, the way them young’uns stand for pictures at their weddin’. I seen a few in my time, though I ain’t no fancy photographer or nothin’. Just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two.
First off, you got that “The Basic Pose”. That’s where they just stand there, smilin’ and lookin’ all lovey-dovey. Bride’s got her flowers, groom’s standin’ tall. Simple, but it works, ya know? It’s like when you plant a seed, it ain’t fancy, but it grows. Kinda like that. It’s the bread and butter of weddin’ pictures, I tell ya.
- They stand close, real close.
- Sometimes they hold hands, sometimes they don’t.
- Always gotta be smilin’, though. That’s the key, see? Smilin’ makes everything better.
Then there’s that “Admiring the Dress” one. Now, that one’s a bit more… showy, I guess you could say. The bride, she’s all dolled up in that big white dress, and the groom, he’s lookin’ at her like she’s the prettiest thing he ever did see. And you know what? She probably is. Women, they put a lot of stock in them dresses. Took ’em long enough to pick it out and pay for it, might as well show it off, right? I remember when my niece got hitched, that dress… oh lawd, it was somethin’ else. Layers and layers, like a fancy cake.
And this one, “The Groom Catching the Bride”, sounds kinda dangerous, don’t it? Like he’s gonna drop her or somethin’. But it ain’t like that. It’s more like…playful, I reckon. He dips her down, she laughs, he pulls her back up. It’s cute, I gotta say. Reminds me of them young’uns playin’ in the fields, all carefree and happy.
But you know, them fancy photographers, they got all sorts of names for these poses. They go on and on about “angles” and “lighting” and whatnot. Me? I just look at the picture and see if it looks nice. If them two young’uns look happy, that’s all that matters, ain’t it? Happiness, that’s the real picture, the one that stays with ya.
I hear tell of them “candid” pictures now too. That’s where they don’t even pose, they just…do their thing. Laugh, cry, dance, whatever. And the photographer, they just snap away. Kinda like catchin’ fireflies in a jar, you gotta be quick and you gotta be lucky. But when you get it right, it’s somethin’ special. It’s real, ya know? Not all posed and stiff. It’s like your love story, but in pictures. Just them bein’ themselves.
Some folks, they like them dramatic pictures. You know, the ones where they’re standin’ on a cliff or somethin’. Makes my stomach turn just thinkin’ about it. Heights ain’t for me, no sir. But I guess it looks nice in a picture. All grand and majestic. Like them fancy paintings you see in the city folk’s houses. “Dramatic Clifftop Poses” they call ‘em, I think. Too much drama for my tastin’.
Then you got them “intimate” pictures. That’s where they get all close and personal. Whisperin’ in each other’s ears, holdin’ hands, lookin’ into each other’s eyes. It’s sweet, I guess. But I always feel a bit like I’m snoopin’ when I see them. Like I’m lookin’ at somethin’ I ain’t supposed to see. “Intimate Moments Among Wildflower Meadows”, they call it sometimes, sounds real pretty like, but still, feels kinda private. But hey, if that’s what makes ‘em happy, who am I to judge?
And let’s not forget the groom himself. He needs his own poses too, right? Can’t just have the bride doin’ all the work. Them “Timeless Groom Poses,” they call ’em. Standin’ tall, lookin’ handsome, maybe smirkin’ a little bit. Gotta show off that suit, you know? Men, they don’t get all the fuss with the dresses, so they gotta make the most of what they got. It’s about showin’ his personality, I reckon. Is he serious? Is he playful? The picture tells the story.
So, there you have it. My take on them groom and bride poses. Ain’t no expert, like I said, but I seen enough weddin’s in my time to know what looks good and what don’t. And at the end of the day, it ain’t about the poses, it’s about the love. That’s the picture you want to keep forever. The one that shows them two young’uns, happy and in love. That’s the one that matters most, believe you me.
Now, you young’uns get out there and take some pictures! But remember, smilin’ is always the best pose. It’s like sunshine for the soul, it is. Makes everything brighter and better.
