Your wedding day only comes around once! Odds are, you want your photos to come out flawlessly.

Too many couples deal with sadness and regret over their terrible wedding photos after the fact.

You can avoid that conundrum by taking advice from Kris Labang, professional photographer and owner of Hawaii Wedding Photography.

Here’s what he has to say.

Tips for perfect wedding day photos

The first piece of advice from Kris is to relax! He notes that you’ll want to look as comfortable as possible in pictures rather than looking tense and stressed.

His next piece of advice is to show off your good side. Make sure your posture is on point, angle yourself to avoid looking too wide with straightforward shots, and shift your weight away from whichever leg is closest to the camera.

Make sure you and your partner look like you’re emotionally connected. Kris explains that PDA is totally perfect for wedding day photos. Don’t skimp on touching, holding, and kissing your partner.

He also notes that it might behoove you to practice ahead of time. Engagement photoshoots come in handy for couples who need a little bit of practice before their wedding day comes along.

The last piece of advice from Kris? Have fun! Your photos shouldn’t look fake or forced. Keep it natural with enjoyment, laughter, and happiness.

After all, you get to marry your best friend!
