When it comes to bridal photography, the photographer needs to know the right moment to capture. The key in wedding photography is to anticipate a wonderful moment and being prepared to click it. Since a big fat Indian wedding is all about culture and traditions, it always helps if the photographer knows the culture well enough so that he/she knows the right moments.

Apart from the photography related to traditions and rituals, it is about creating beautiful poses or framing the candid moments correctly. Now, let us look at different examples of bridal photography and understand how different cultures create an impact on the pictures.

A Gujarati Bride

A Gujarati bride usually wears gold jewellery with her red traditional lehenga. In terms of bridal photography, the photographer must focus on getting the colours out in a great way.

You can go for a darker background to make the bride appear stunning with the light falling on her. 

A Rajasthani Bride

More often than not, a Rajasthani bride too wears the red outfit with golden embroideries. If you are looking for a pose that covers the whole outfit, you can shoot it in different ways.

You can keep it royal and classic by asking the bride to pose looking straight at the camera with a sense of calm or ask her to swirl her lehenga and get a peppy picture. It not only looks a fun picture but also helps in flaunting the Rajasthani Ghagra.

A Bengali Bride

Speaking of fun and peppiness, always include some cool pictures while planning out your bridal photography. You can ask the bride to be at her jovial best and if she is a natural at it, you will surely get a fantastic set of pictures.

Ask her to be quirky and fun-loving through this process. The Topor of the Bengali Bride along with the red saree and golden jewellery all comes into play as well while making it an excellent photograph.

A Marathi Bride

A Marathi bride with her Mundalvaya and Nauvari saree automatically looks stunning in every way possible. A side portrait is one pose that you must include in bridal photography.

It helps you get the details of the earrings, hairstyle and embroideries on the sleeves and other such things into notice. All these small things matter a lot in creating the perfect look for the bride.

A Kannadiga Bride

The gorgeous design of the Maang Tikka, the stunning bright sarees and beautiful gold jewellery are the things that make a Kannadiga bride so beautiful.

Go for a bridal photography pose with the groom in it as well. In such cases, create some romantic poses that bring out their chemistry in the best possible way. You can even ask them to improvise as the poses start looking more natural.

A Muslim Bride

A Muslim bride is all about light colours, and attires that have a royal touch to them, especially when it comes to Hyderabadi brides. One of the most common poses when it comes to bridal photography is the one with the bridesmaids.

Create a pose where the bride is the centre of attraction with the bridesmaids flanking her on both sides.

A Punjabi Bride

One of the most beautiful poses in bridal photography is when the bride is holding her net dupatta over her head. With the right amount of light and focus, you can easily make the bride look absolutely beautiful. Ask her to give a shy smile as well.

A Chrsitian Bride

With a Christian bride comes the beautiful white flowy gown and that is coupled with a contrasting background looks absolutely stunning any day of the week.

Here, you can either go for a candid moment or ask the couple to pose in some manner, be it with some powerful attitude or with intense chemistry.

A Malayali Bride

When it comes to a Malayali bride, more often than not, it is about the amount of gold jewellery she wears. As a photographer, your aim should be to get a picture that is aesthetically pleasing and brings out the details of the jewellery in a beautiful way.

A Tamilian Bride

A close-up picture of the bride tells us about how beautiful a bride looks. Now, you can take a straight-forward picture or get a bit creative by clicking it using a mirror. This not only brings out what you want but also makes it a beautiful picture that definitely goes into the wedding album of any bride. You can make it candid by asking the bride to wear some ornament at that time as well.

With all such images, you are not only taking the bridal photography to its best but also conveying how beautiful each culture is. The topor of a Bengali bride, the mundalvaya of a Marathi bride or the temple jewellery of a South Indian bride all tells us about how different cultures and traditions make the bride look so different from each other. Focus on such things through your bridal photography to ace the wedding album.
