It’s a completely normal thing to be shy on your wedding day.
There is nothing wrong with it. On your wedding day, you will be surrounded by a large list of guests, some of whom you may not even know personally. Not only will some of your guest list be the new family, but the overall size of the crowd attending your big day can be overwhelming.
If you feel that this is all too much, you may become overly shy, causing you to shy away from the camera, too. You certainly don’t want to miss out on quality wedding photos because you feel shy.
Luckily, you don’t have to miss out on anything, no matter how withdrawn you start to feel. In fact, there is some helpful advice for being photographed as a shy bride that we have put together. If you want to look and feel comfortable in your wedding photos, you can continue reading to discover how you can:
- Practice Before Your Big Day. When you practice something, you become more familiar with it, allowing you to feel comfortable and know what to expect. If you feel that you may need a little practice before your wedding day arrives, you can book an engagement photoshoot. This will grant you lovely photos of you and your spouse-to-be, while also providing you with some time in front of the camera. You are essentially conquering two tasks with one action. In addition, this will also allow you to get comfortable with your chosen photographer.
- Confidence in a Professional. There is a lot of talk about the benefits of hiring a professional, such as quality photos, professionalism, top of the line equipment, and more. But, there is one detail that can go unnoticed, and that is the capability that a professional photographer has to put their client at ease. A professional photographer knows how to make their clients feel comfortable and powerful within their photos. This demeanor can do wonders for a shy bride!
- Enjoy the Moment. They say that time flies when you are having fun. You will also feel much more comfortable when you are living in the moment and enjoy every second of it. More organic photos will be possible as well, as you won’t be focused on the camera and will be making the most of your wedding festivities instead. So, enjoy your wedding day, and focus on anything but your photographer and the camera, to capture beautifully natural photos.
Being timid in front of the camera is normal, but you don’t have to let it put a damper on your wedding photos. These tips are sure to help you feel empowered and confident within your wedding photos so that you can receive beautiful images to remember your big day. Remember, this is your wedding day, and you should enjoy every bit of it, even when the camera starts to focus on you.
