"Stylish Sitting: Researching Poses for Adorable Sitting Shots That Make You and Your Dress Shine!"

What is a Stylish Sitting Shot...?

One of the solo shots of the bride during wedding photo shoots is the "sitting shot."

In a sitting shot, the bride sits flat on the floor, squats down, or sits on a chair or sofa, capturing a different look of the dress compared to standing poses ♡

If you’re going for a pre-shoot, you definitely want to take at least one sitting shot, but what specific poses look stylish?

(It's somewhat clear that just sitting without any thought won’t result in a lovely sitting shot…!)

So!

In this article, we will introduce poses from Korean brides who are good at taking sitting shots.

Even though it’s simply called a sitting shot, there are various ways to sit and compositions that can serve as inspiration.

Brides who will be photographing for pre-shoots or on the wedding day should definitely check this out ♩

First, let’s start with a pose sitting flat on the floor.

Kneel up in a triangle sitting position and rest your elbows on your knees.

Looking away creates a natural atmosphere without over-staging.

Make sure the wedding veil falls over your body, as that's a key point.

This pose involves bending your upper body forward and hugging your knees with your legs extended.

Avoid pressing your arms against your body to create a slimmer appearance.

You might also want to try a downward gaze or closed-eye expression ♡

This pose is easy to attempt even if the volume of the dress skirt is minimal.

This creates a more natural look compared to sitting firmly.

If there’s a sofa, it’s worth trying for an exceptionally romantic sitting shot.

Spread the skirt of your wedding dress over the sofa to envelop it completely.

The skirt spreads more than in a standing pose, highlighting the beauty of the wedding dress ♡

By turning your body towards the back of the sofa and just looking back at the camera, you’ll project an adult and elegant vibe.

A shot where you intentionally face directly back without looking at the camera is also rare and wonderful!

If there's a chair or sofa, you’ll want to capture a shot sitting with your legs crossed ♡

Since it's a casual pose, be mindful of how you place your arms and keep your expression feminine and elegant.

This can also double as a shot to showcase your favorite bridal shoes as well.
