Hello dear friends in the Black and White community! I'm Menti, and I'm back with another photography blog post. This time, I want to share some insights into my routine on wedding days, including some creative ideas for taking stunning photos of the groom.

On a wedding day, it's crucial for the bride and groom to be punctual so that we can have enough time for all the photography and videography tasks. This allows us to capture all the special moments without rushing or feeling stressed.

Mirror Decor and Framing Challenges

One of my favorite setups for groom photography is using a mirror as a backdrop. Mirrors symbolize clarity and reflection, making them perfect for capturing the groom's inner and outer beauty. However, framing the shot in front of a mirror can be challenging, requiring careful attention to balance and composition.

There are endless possibilities for creative poses when photographing grooms in front of a mirror. Here are a few examples:

Holding the jacket lapel and looking into the mirror: This classic pose is flattering for most grooms and allows them to showcase their style.
Standing with the bouquet: A simple yet elegant pose that highlights the groom's excitement for the upcoming ceremony.

Sitting on a regal chair: If available, a luxurious chair can add a touch of sophistication to the photo. The key is to position the chair in a way that complements the background and doesn't distract from the groom.
Standing in a garden walkway: A natural backdrop can add depth and interest to the photo. Just be sure to keep the focus on the groom by using a shallow depth of field.

It's important to remember that most wedding photos should be subject-focused. While backgrounds can be beautiful, they should never take away from the main attraction: the bride and groom.
Groom photography is an essential part of capturing the memories of a wedding day. By using creative poses, flattering angles, and timeless backdrops, photographers can create stunning images that will be cherished for years to come.
