Don't be afraid to seek the advice of your photographer! With their expertise, these experienced professionals will be able to provide advice on the choice of location, props and even a list of things to prepare before the shoot. At the same time, don’t forget the plan the day’s schedule with your photographer, in order to have a better idea regarding the flow of events. This allows you to efficiently prepare for the shoot and if necessary, practice the poses and facial expressions you aim to have. 

Communication Is Key 

Before engaging a photographer, it’s important to first discuss the intended style/theme of the photoshoot. Not only will this help you better shortlist suitable photographers, it’ll make sure that expectations don’t fall short on both sides. Also, be sure to discuss the procedure of the photo shoot. Whether it’s a certain angle you are going for an overall theme or mood to the images, have it planned out to ensure everyone knows what to do and to look out for. 

Getting Comfortable

Acting naturally in front of the camera can take some getting used to, so you and your significant other may want to do some practising before the day of the photoshoot. For instance, try practising poses and facial expressions before the mirror to know your best angles. Additionally, it’s important to also feel comfortable in the presence of your photographer. So remember to arrange for a short chat with your intended photographer before actually engaging him/her.

Take Your Time When Posing

If you're camera shy, posing may come as a challenge. Regardless, it's important to give your photography ample time to capture the moment. Even if it’s posing for a kiss with your spouse, despite the possible awkwardness of the situation, embrace the moment and know that it's a shot for the books.  

Your photographer plays a major role when it comes to your wedding photo shoot, but ultimately, a successful and productive photo shoot requires the effort of everyone involved.
