Here’s what couples should do during the wedding ceremony for better photos, so the once-in-a-lifetime moments aren’t for naught. <\/i><\/p>

T<\/b>he wedding photographer is booked and on time, the Pinterest board brief has been thoroughly explained and the bride and groom have never looked more radiant. After months of research, planning and deliberation to ensure that coverage of the wedding day turns out as per the couple\u2019s vision and expectations, what could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\"\"Image from Charlene and Colin’s Vibrant Wildflower Wedding at 1-Altitude Coast<\/a> by Mark Wong Photography<\/a><\/i>

The answer? More than one would think. All else being equal, ideal photographs of the newlyweds are often the most challenging to capture. With a tight schedule, guests to mingle with and multiple places to be at all at once, candid yet glamorous moments of the couple that are easily immortalised are few and far between. Even the most technically proficient, creative and adaptable wedding photographers will not be spared from the chaos and complexities of achieving perfect shots during the big day.<\/p>\"\"Image from Gina and Melvin’s Pastel Garden Wedding in Revelry Hall<\/a> by Smittenpixels Co.<\/a><\/i>

But not all hope is lost. With conscious effort, there are plenty of ways for couples to create opportunities for better photos. A little patience, preparation and practice goes a long way\u2014holding and owning those moments for just an extra few seconds could provide ample time for the photographer to shoot one in their finest angles. Below, five helpful tips couples should take heed of and apply during the wedding ceremony to get better photos of once-in-a-lifetime memories. <\/p>

1. WALK SLOWLY DOWN THE AISLE<\/h3>\"\"Image from Joy and Josh’s Summer Coral Wedding in the Surga Villa Estate, Bali<\/a> by JIWA Photography<\/a><\/i>

No one\u2019s in a rush. Brides should keep their entrance composed when walking down the aisle. Apart from being able to soak in the moment with every graceful, poised and deliberate step, a slower pace allows for better photo opportunities. The bride\u2019s first appearance, a stunning shot focusing on the dress and veil, the emotional exchange between the bride and her father or escort, as well as the groom and bridal party\u2019s reaction are just some of the many moments that need to be captured during the march-in, so it\u2019s crucial to take one\u2019s time. This rule doesn\u2019t apply only to the bride\u2014it\u2019s a helpful reminder to the entire processional in weddings where the groom and other members of the bridal party are also walking down the aisle.<\/p>

2. NAIL THE BOUQUET PLACEMENT<\/h3>\"betterImage from Sarah and Joel’s Fun and Cheery Wedding at EMPRESS at the Asian Civilisation Museum<\/a> by Eugene from Bottled Groove Photography<\/a><\/i>

This one\u2019s for the brides and bridesmaids. Imagine getting up at the crack of dawn to get dolled up by an expert hair and make-up artist the day of, only to have the full glam and upper body shot obstructed because the bouquet was held too high up. Or, near-perfect photos where everything\u2019s in place\u2014until you realise that only the stems instead of blooms are visible because the bouquet wasn\u2019t angled out the right way. The optimal height that the bouquet should be held at requires the thumbs to be in line with one\u2019s belly button, and is easier done with low, relaxed arm placement. Too tense or nervous, and the arms can\u2019t help but be drawn up. Practice makes perfect when it comes to successfully showcasing the beauty of one\u2019s mien, the dress and the florist\u2019s handiwork simultaneously.<\/p>

3. HOLD THE KISS<\/h3>\"betterImage from Weijie and Nicol’s Jubilant and Chic Wedding at The Singapore Edition<\/a> by AndroidsinBoots<\/a><\/i>

Don\u2019t be shy, it\u2019s a beautiful scene every couple wants to cherish. Hold this affectionate moment a little longer so the photographer can frame the shot, adjust focus, and capture it from different angles. At least three seconds, up to five, would be a safe and appropriate length of time to ensure the most flattering expressions are documented. Some couples choose to practice the kiss beforehand, to familiarise themselves with the duration and be in sync with each other\u2019s timing.<\/p>

4. MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT WITH YOUR PARTNER<\/h3>\"betterImage from Nissiel and Paolo’s Magical and Touching Wedding at CHIJMES Hall Singapore<\/a> by Rylz Photography<\/i>

During the vow or ring exchange, look into your partner\u2019s eyes with intention instead of at the solemniser or the surroundings. This authentic, intimate moment that symbolizes deep connection and commitment is sure to make for a powerful and timeless visual. Eye contact between the bride and groom will result in myriad expressions for visual storytelling, whether it\u2019s sweet joy, blissful tears or overwhelming emotion. So long as the couple remains fully present, one can be assured that the photos of this blessed ritual will not turn out staged or stiff in the slightest. <\/p>

5. PAUSE WHEN WALKING DOWN THE AISLE<\/h3>\"betterImage from Chloe and Ben’s Elegant Wedding At Monti by 1-Pavillion<\/a> by Alina from LiangZuo Studio<\/a><\/i>

The ceremonial exit, or recessional, is one that is high-spirited and celebratory\u2014so don\u2019t forget to stop and pose for more photo opportunities amid the cheers and applause as you start married life together. Pause about halfway down the aisle, and pose however you and your partner would like. Classics like the dip and kiss never go wrong, and things could be spiced up by instructing the bridal party or guests to toss flower petals or confetti during the shot. Extra tip: choosing an upbeat track to be sent off to will give the couple an exuberant energy boost that will be more than evident in the photos. <\/p>
