To hate that obligatory bent over kiss so common in wedding photos nowadays?

[birdonawire1]

You know the one. Man bends his bride over backwards and fake kisses her.
Cheesy, cheap and cringe making.

Or is it just me?

I know the pose that you mean OP, and the running leap as previously mentioned.

Let's not forget the pre-wedding arty shot of the dress on a hanger in the hotel room window.

Engagement or pre wedding photos, amuse me greatly the couple walking arm in arm or on a beach or walking through a forrest, hiding behind trees etc. It looks like a Hello! Photospread done on a budget of 10p. When i got married (we didn't gave a wedding photographer at all). A few couples we knew had a whole heap of these cheesy pictures. I waa tempted to have a suite of those cheesy engagement pictures in unlikely or inapropriate locations, such as standing arm outside a clap clinic with our fingers crossed or in a bookies gazing into each other's eyes whilst the 4:30 from Chepstoe was on in the background and a warm glow from the fruit machine lit our faces.

And the ones of the bride’s shoes. Why? The worst of all, the groom and all his friends holding the bride horizontally, so very normal and natural.

We got married 17 years ago and luckily the only cheesy one is one of us facing the best man and bridesmaid (our best friends who at the time were a couple)

It was taken from slightly above us and we’re surround by trees and bushes. It looks like we’ve bumped in to each other dogging.

Ahhh I quite like the leaning-back-kiss-photo, especially if it’s done with a beautiful back drop where the wind has caught the veil

Most people will never feel as beautiful and special as they do on their wedding day, so why not let them feel and act like models for that day?

And that's a tragedy in itself.

From my friends weddings over thr last few years I feel like ai could play picture bingo

Dress on a hanger
Make up artist doing lips
Shoes on surface
Dress being fastened at back
Bride and bridesmaids clinking champagne flutes
grooms cufflinks (bonus point if they are being fastened in pic)
Head in hands laughing during speeches.
Picture of seating plan.
Bride twirling or being lifted to make dress poof out.

When you get 600 pics of your wedding so you ever really look at them. Same with wedding videos. How often do you watch it?

I have a friend who is a photographer and did some pics at our wedding. No posing, no groups, nothing that wasn't already happening anyway. My favourite picture is me my husband and our daughter all flopped on a sofa having a cuddle at the end of the evening.

Ahem...

Ahhhhh, we didn’t have a wedding photographer, but do have over 1000 wedding pictures as all my friends and family got a bit snap-happy on the day on their iPhones.

We do have a picture of the best men and ushers holding me horizontally, but to be fair, it’s on the dance floor, and we are all obviously smashed, so at least it was a “natural” moment, I guess.

We had none of them! Most family groups, cake, bride and godfather (DDad died 10 years before I got married). Our photos are very traditional rather than reportage.

“The worst of all, the groom and all his friends holding the bride horizontally, so very normal and naturally”

Like a battering ram 😂

Glad we did the registry office thing with no photographer!

This is what I mean - grim

Does anyone actually kiss like that in real life? Would give me backache

Reminds me of this.

Oh no I like them. The genuine ones not the silly over exaggerated ones.

I like them. New cheese has replaced old cheese.

My sister has horrendous wedding pictures. My favourite is the both of them under a tree, on the other side if the tree they are watching themselves under the tree. At the time she thought it was lovely my mum had it up on the wall.

" standing arm outside a clap clinic with our fingers crossed"
:o

I think the photographers just get bored.

.

I do think THESE are ace though! 🦖🚀🦖🚀🦖

I love the ridiculous “being chased by T Rex photos” as long as they’re not compulsory and only those members of the wedding party who are really up for it get involved.

There’s a great short story by Jeffrey Archer of all people about a wedding photographer who wants to blow away the dusty old traditional wedding photo cliches and finds that ten years later his style represents the dusty old cliches that people are now desperate to escape.

Those glasses 😂

90s bride here 👋. Love my pic of hubs and friends holding me up, horizontally. He looks like he’s gonna pass out!!

Well to be fair nobody really gives a shit about anyone else's wedding photos other than the bride and groom ,my much younger cousin got married last year and the photos (that were posted on facebook) were all as the pp poster described flowers shot, dress hanging up.shot ,cufflinks shot etc etc,I do like looking at my mum and dad's wedding album from the early 70,s purely for the hideous fashion!
