Are There Two Tips for a 【Lift Shot】!?

Although the lift shot is a popular classic...

It might seem that everyone does it effortlessly, but it's actually quite challenging.

A slight misalignment in angle or pose can result in a rather disappointing lift shot...!

Since you can't check the pose while photographing yourselves, it's essential to grasp the tips ahead of time.

In this article, we will share two tips for the lift shot ♡

Stylish Lift Shot Tip #1: Angle of the Legs

The first key point to be mindful of is the angle of the bride's legs when being lifted!

If, like in the photo on the left, the legs are left limp without any effort, it gives the impression of a lifeless lift.

However, in the photo on the right, when the bride bends both legs, it creates a lively lift shot ♡

The height at which the groom lifts the bride looks much higher in the right photo as well ♩

Even in lift photos while wearing a wedding dress, if the bride bends her legs in a lively manner, it results in an animated silhouette like this ♡

When the legs are straight, the skirt tends to drape down perpendicular to the ground, failing to capture the fluffiness and volume.

When taking lift photos, be conscious of lifting your legs up ◎

Stylish Lift Shot Tip #2: Arching the Back

The next point is how each of the groom and bride arches their backs!

The recommended posture is as follows ◎

☑ Groom: Arch the back slightly from the waist

☑ Bride: Do not arch the back, round the shoulders slightly

Here's an example for the bride ♡

If the bride arches her back too much, it creates distance between her and the groom, leading to a tense lift shot.

It's best, like in this photo with the bride, to relax the upper body and slightly round the shoulders while facing the groom naturally ◎

The groom should arch his back backward from the waist to better support the bride's weight.

A big backward arch will create a lively lift photo that looks like the two are playfully interacting ♡

Depending on the vibe you want for the lift photo, the groom's pose might change, so it’s good to discuss it together while looking at photos beforehand ♩

Remember the Two Tips and Capture a Wonderful Lift Shot!

How was that? The classic lift pose is a staple for pre-wedding or engagement shoots.

The quality of the final result can drastically differ depending on the couple's posture and pose.

While photos can be edited for brightness or skin issues, correcting poses is a different story and incredibly difficult.

Thus, posture and pose are crucial! For those about to shoot, please use this as a reference ♡
