The 7 Steps To The Ultimate Bridesmaid Instagram Photo
As you prepare to embark on this momentous occasion, capturing the perfect Instagram post with your closest friends is a top priority. After scouring countless viral bridesmaid photos, we’ve distilled the secrets behind getting the most likes into 7 essential steps.
Baby Got Back
When it comes to capturing the perfect wedding photo, a key element is the positioning of the subjects. To achieve a stunning ‘back shot’, instruct your photographer to arrange your bridesmaids on either side of you, with their trains laid out evenly and their arms hooked together. Encourage them to stand tall, shoulders back and heads held high, just like Mia and Jarred’s beautiful wedding photo taken by Julia Winkler.
Candid, but Posed, but Candid
To achieve Instagram fame, it’s all about capturing those effortlessly posed moments that appear candid at first glance. The secret lies in incorporating subtle gestures, like a whispered conversation between the bride and her bridesmaid, or thoughtful gift-giving. When done correctly, these posed shots can fool even the most discerning eyes into thinking they’re genuine, off-the-cuff moments.
Take cues from experts like Studio Impressions (Elizabeth and Anthony’s wedding) and Christopher George Photography (Lilian and Shunt’s wedding), who masterfully captured these special moments for their clients.
The Supermodel Posse
The Kardashian/Jenner family has mastered the art of posing for photoshoots. Imagine a 90s girl band where each member has their signature look and pose, so when the photographer says ‘say cheese’, they effortlessly execute their tried-and-true formula. The result is a visually stunning image that captures their unique essence. Take, for instance, the captivating photography by Terralogical that perfectly captures the essence of Image Storm and Xerxes’ wedding.
Killer Gowns
When it comes to generating engagement on social media, few things can rival the allure of a group of friends, especially women, dressed to impress in stunning gowns. The more attention-grabbing features, such as form-fitting silhouettes, daring thigh-high splits, and plenty of sparkle, the better. In fact, these elements are sure to drive up likes and get people talking.
To illustrate this point, consider the captivating images from Gabrielle and Jordan’s wedding, beautifully captured by Image Haus, and Donia and George’s special day, immortalized by Xsight.
Props
Unleash your creativity and incorporate the unique elements surrounding you into your wedding photoshoot. Whether it’s a stunning bouquet, intricately designed champagne flutes or bold lip colors, make the most of the props available to create a visually captivating narrative.
Robes On
When it comes to making a lasting impression on your special day, it’s the little details that can make all the difference. Case in point: matching robes for your bridal party. Not only do they serve as a thoughtful gift, but they also open up a world of creative possibilities when it comes to capturing those unforgettable moments. Imagine the laughter, the joy, and the memories you’ll create alongside your loved ones – it’s truly priceless.
The photographs alone are worth the investment, don’t you think? And who knows, you might just start a new wedding trend!
The Catwalk
Get your wedding party involved in the fun by asking them to show off their style alongside you. This will not only capture some unique action shots but also add a playful touch to your overall wedding photography. The key is to get creative with your poses and interactions, so don’t be afraid to let loose and have a good time.
Your photographer can help capture the energy and excitement of the moment by taking long-shots that showcase your joyful expressions and the dynamics between you and your loved ones. The result will be a visually appealing set of photos that are sure to get plenty of likes on social media.
