The best couple poses for wedding photos
While you are picking the color theme, the venue or the food you tend to choose the things that you are most comfortable with and the things that describe you as a couple. The same rules go with poses. There are plenty of cool poses, and you can pick those that you think will show you in your best light. All couples need those photos for their mom and dad or older relatives. You know, the ones where you are looking at the camera, and standing still, despite the fact that over time you appreciate more the photos that look natural or goofy.
