The last important touch on your wedding photos after deciding on a destination and preparing your outfits has got to be the poses you strike on the day of the shoot itself. This is often the most nerve-wrecking part of the whole business, especially when most of us are not born supermodels.

A pre-wedding photoshoot is the best way to preserve the sweet memories of taking the next step forward in life together. It might be the only time other than the actual wedding day where brides get to put on big sparkly dresses and live in a romantic daydream.

That’s why we are here to give you some ideas on poses that can help complete the perfect picture of romance that you can keep forever.

1. Lie Together on Her Dress

Lie side by side on the spread out skirt of her dress for a shot that brings out the warmth of being enveloped by the presence of your loved one.

2. Get Down on One Knee

Nothing beats reliving the moments from your proposal and declaring your love for each other one more time.

3. Neck Caresses
