Pre-wedding Photos, I Can't Seem to Smile Cutely...!
Are there any prospective brides who are planning a pre-wedding photoshoot and feel "not confident in how I look in photos"?
Even in everyday photos taken with their partner or friends,
☑ Somehow my expressions look stiff
☑ I don’t look like I’m having fun
☑ My smile looks forced
☑ I always have the same pose
There might be quite a few people who struggle with such issues.
I don't feel like I can smile naturally and cutely like models or other brides...!
Since wedding photos are not something you take many times in your life, you want to appear as your adorable self with a genuine smile! That’s the bride's spirit.
So in this article, I will introduce some "poses that will definitely make you smile," which I recommend for prospective brides who find it difficult to create a natural smile*
If you're worried about not being able to smile naturally and cutely, please include this in your shooting instructions in advance♡
A Pose That Allows for a Natural Smile ♡ Recommended Pre-wedding Pose ① Cheek Rub
The first pose I’ll introduce is the cheek rub pose where you press your cheeks together* Cheek rubs are a magical pose that makes anyone smile! If you take this pose when the tension of the shoot has eased, a natural, happy smile with visible teeth will appear♡
Brides who are shorter than their partners can try standing on tiptoe and pressing their cheek against their partner’s cheek. This will enhance the cuteness♩
A Pose That Allows for a Natural Smile ♡ Recommended Pre-wedding Pose ② Gazing at Each Other
If you tend to get nervous when you’re aware of the camera! It’s recommended to start with a pose where you gaze into each other’s eyes.
It feels a bit embarrassing, and you’ll naturally smile. You might even request your partner, “Make a funny face to make me laugh!”
They say, “A girl’s smile directed at the person she loves is the cutest.” Your smile while gazing at your partner should be your best expression♡
Shooting from this angle, through your partner, is also wonderful. You might be surprised to realize, “Wow, I always look at him with such a happy expression.”
That melting smile is lovely.
A Pose That Allows for a Natural Smile ♡ Recommended Pre-wedding Pose ③ Playful Interaction
For brides who are not used to taking photos, it’s recommended to have natural photos where you are not aware of the camera, rather than stiffly posed wedding photos.
Play around with your partner as you usually do at home. The photographer will surely capture the wonderful smile you have when being close to your beloved partner♩
Being picked up or carried on the back also represents poses that easily bring out natural smiles! While joking around with “You’re heavy!” or “Do your best!!,” you’ll likely end up with a stunning smile♡
A Pose That Allows for a Natural Smile ♡ Recommended Pre-wedding Pose ④ Shouting
For those who want to try a somewhat different pose, give shouting a shot* When you open your mouth wide and shout, your mouth corners naturally rise, creating a smile♡
Those watching will be curious about what you’re saying while smiling. It might be good to add a text like “The wedding reception is starting!” for the opening video♩
A Pose That Allows for a Natural Smile ♡ Recommended Pre-wedding Pose ⑤ Confetti Shower
The last one I’ll introduce is a wedding photo using a confetti shower.
Confetti that bursts from a cracker is the number one item that makes you smile in surprise!
You can capture a lively, natural smile with it.

I’ve introduced pre-wedding poses that will definitely make you smile.
Of course, photographers will also come up with ways to create a fun and smiling environment, but it’s good to take thorough countermeasures. If you’re not confident in how you look in photos, actively try the poses introduced this time♡
