Perfect Poses for Gorgeous Wedding Portraits
As a photographer , you'll frequently be asked to navigate tight timelines, high–pressure situations and less–than–ideal locations. Equip yourself to overcome all of these obstacles, and you're on your way to capturing the special wedding shots that will thrill your clients. Join me, expert wedding photographer Neil van Niekerk, in my online Craftsy class Wedding Photography: The Romantic Portrait Session , and master essential posing and lighting elements to ensure you succeed at the most important task of the day: getting romantic, perfectly–lit portraits of the special couple.
In my comprehensive class, you'll discover how to approach potential clients, establish a connection, and persuasively present your portfolio and pricing packages. You'll follow me on an engagement shoot as I work with a couple to capture memorable portraits without stiff smiles and mechanical poses. And, I'll reveal planning, lighting and sequencing strategies to ensure impressive shots throughout the day.

To begin, I'll cover crucial considerations for prepping for a wedding shoot. Discover the secrets to envisioning the style of a shoot and selecting poses and backgrounds that create context, plus find out how to use compositional principles to eliminate distracting peripheral elements. I'll also share a variety of tricks you can use to transform any setting into a romantic scene, including key lighting concepts for overcoming harsh sunlight or dimly–lit ceremonies.
Then it's onto the most important part of your job as a wedding photographer —the romantic portrait session. I 'll guide you through shooting indoors first, and you'll learn how to set up speedlights and an umbrella to create warm, flattering light that shows your clients at their best.

After that, learn how to seamlessly integrate movement into your photos as we take a series of dynamic, playful shots outdoors. Quickly vary poses to capture a wide variety of looks by making small gestural changes and switching your own position. Plus, see how to use a longer focal lens and wide aperture to isolate the bride and groom against a distracting background, creating a soft, flattering background behind the couple.
Finally, we'll return to the studio and I'll show you how I select the best images from the numerous photographs I take at a wedding. I'll reveal timesaving tips to adjust flawed exposure across multiple photos, and how to modify color temperature to ensure the bride's dress is as white as possible.
