The Bratty Child

Brides-to-be love showing off their bratty or tomboyish side even when they are all decked-up in a traditional lehenga choli for their wedding ceremony. If you too have been known as the most bratty kid of your home, then why shy away from flaunting it at your wedding? Pout, wink or be teasing much to show your rebellious side for the shutterbugs.

Be fun, be natural and above all, forget the rules of looking shy or feminine for this style pose. Such wedding images are fun to look at and remember the younger days, even decades down the line.

The Chill Vibes

We know that a bride-to-be tends to get all nervous on her wedding day. Even with butterflies dancing in her stomach, she still tends to keep calm and composed throughout the wedding ceremonies. How about having some fun and converting this nervousness into a quirky pose for the wedding images?

Simply close your eyes, pout a little and show the victory sign, letting the photographer capture this candid shot perfectly! We guarantee that post this fun shoot, you will be all smiles and more confident to have much more fun at your wedding than you would have otherwise.

The Runaway Bride

Recreate Kareena Kapoor’s runaway bride scene from the movie, 3 Idiots, where she drove around the famous Pangong Lake of Ladakh on a yellow scooter, decked up in wedding attire, on a lookout for her groom.

You can either ask the wedding planners to arrange a classy looking scooter as a prop for one of your wedding functions, or you can bring your own ride to the wedding venue to achieve such a look. If not a scooter, then you can pose sitting on the driver’s seat of your car as well!

With Fur Friends

Brides-to-be who are dog or cat parents cannot miss the opportunity of posing with their furry friends for a few candid and quirky images. Be as real and as candid that you can get with the animals for the photographer to get the most memorable wedding images of all for you. You can add fun dog collars or bandanas to make the fur kids look a part of the celebrations even more.

The Dress Up Game

While you are getting ready for your wedding, do ask your photographer to take some BTS (behind the scenes) kind of wedding images for some quirky and fun series of you. Now, this one pose has become quite a trend among brides-to-be. Put your favourite pair of denim on, wear the blouse of your wedding lehenga and simply hold the wedding lehenga skirt on a hanger next to you and pose. Don’t forget to put your widest smile up for such wedding while posing.

The Carefree Bride

At your wedding, you should be having all the fun that you can. And by fun, we mean ‘having fun’ quite literally. Such as jumping on the bed of your bridal suite to your heart’s content, while the photographer takes his time capturing the perfect frame of you having so much fun. You can even invite your girlfriends to take part in jumping along with you for more giggles and smiles for a more lively looking array of such wedding images.

The Foodie Bride

If you love having junk food then flaunt it for the shutterbugs as well. For brides-to-be who are famously known as the foodie among friends and family can replicate such fun food-eating poses for their portrait wedding images. The best part about this pose is that you don’t even need to pose. Simply indulge in gobbling up your favourite McDonalds burger or sip on your favourite cold Frappe from Starbucks, giving the photographer the perfect theme to click your profile shots.

One thing that is the base of making these wedding images look all quirky is the self-confidence that each of these portrays naturally. Which means, that you too need to relax and not take replicating these portrait poses as a task-in-hand. Rather, enjoy the moment, feel the moment and customise every sequence with your own personal preference to make this shot more exclusive for yourself.

The best way to achieve these wedding shots is also by discussing the concept in advance with your photographer so that he/she is able to judge great backgrounds throughout the venue or the right moments among various wedding ceremonies, to capture such quirky wedding images of you easily.
