What's your favorite Wedding Photography pose?

[@Reggiebphoto]

hero silhouette!

[@iamdcraze]

Chest to Chest!

[@dhilemondominic4642]

Bear hug 😆

[@sleepyricky4826]

Definitely head cuddling!

[@bisayangjuan]

I experienced one time in wedding shoot.. it was hard... Tnx for the tips

[@jennifercrews3175]

For the looking at the camera shot I always say “okay this on is for Grandma!” And they giggle and go for it with genuine smiles.

[@fraseryoung8503]

I do the exact same thing... although normally go for aunts and uncles instead just in case one of the grandparents is no longer with us. 😬

[@badhabit714]

@@fraseryoung8503 🤦🏽

[@jeninasimplicio]

Same!

[@Shemene]

granmas should live forever ♥

[@mapppps]

@@fraseryoung8503 LOL I thought the same thing like dang i wouldnt want to say that and it ends in an awkward silence

[@reviewcentral5189]

As a wedding photographer of 10+ years, I can honestly say that you're always learning and always trying to improve or perfect your art. I randomly, compleeeetely randomly, came upon this video and the way you gave each set of poses 'names' helps me to not only remember them, but also to incorporate more of some and less of some others. Thanks!

[@aldrinmelegrito9107]

I super agree. He shares his art not minding the competition, but just loving his experience and joyfully share it to us. More subscriber bro!!!!

[@nadun2005]

100!

[@shelbygill]

This has to be one of the coolest, calmest, detailed yet simplified couples posing video ever!!! Thanks so much for making this man, this was so well done!

[@CorneliaMcDermott]

Prepping for my first wedding, and this just helped me feel a lot more prepared and confident!

[@jbivphotography]

Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@thaddeuswinsett1338]

I hope all was well. My first is in 2 weeks😭😊

[@de-graftasafo-adjei4646]

John Branch and Reggie Ballesteros are killing us with wedding couple poses........Thanks a million......I downloaded both

[@jbivphotography]

lol. I was wondering if anyone would notice. 😉

[@Reggiebphoto]

I'll just leave this here for those who want to watch my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2G3fYGJdrurZtU HAHA

[@aldeen1982]

John is overall better. The problem with reggies photos are his white balance. I told him that 1 year ago, his skin tones are always pinkish. That’s not professional in my eyes.

[@kirshiabest3917]

I just did my first wedding photography last Sunday. This video was so helpful! The pictures turned out amazing!Thanks John!

[@nickrisk1111]

Maybe you can do a mini series on your booking, whole wedding day and delivery. Break the episodes up by parts of the process. Example.. ep.1 communication and booking, ep.2 getting ready and first look, ep.3 ceremony, ep.4 cocktail hour and reception, ep.5 post process and delivery. Something along those lines. It would be nice to see you go into more detail, and it would draw viewers into continue watching the next video. I haven't seen a lot of youtubers do multi-part videos like that in this genre.

[@sturm3n]

Congrats on being featured on Fstoppers, my friend!

[@jbivphotography]

I didn't even realize until you left this comment. 😱 How awesome!

[@andreivuia9219]

We need to turn this into a PDF, this is pure gold.

[@jbivphotography]

great idea 👀

[@andreivuia9219]

@@jbivphotography i'll be the frist one to print it :).

[@kerwynwilson]

One of the things that I love about your photos is your eye for environmental portraits.

[@saviourudo1062]

As someone who’s 2months into a photography course and on a journey to becoming a hybrid shooter, I sometimes have to assist on shoots and be asked to give poses. This video has brought me calm and pumped to readily want to suggest poses when I’m on a shoot or assisting. Thank you so much for this video. You really have no idea how much you’ve motivated me. Thank you.

[@Ham958]

This is by far my favourite posing tutorial I've seen! Thank you, John. I'm photographing my first wedding next week and, although the couple know I've never done it before and say they'll be grateful for anything, I'm obviously really keen not to mess it up! After watching this, I feel like I stand a good chance of success!!

[@jbivphotography]

Glad it helped! Hope it went well.

[@maryflores-camacho48]

Thank you so much for these posing ideas. I'm shooting only my third wedding on Saturday. Your ideas gave me the confidence I needed to get the posing down. Such an awesome and succinct video. I really got a lot out of it. Thanks again.

[@samueltrujillophotography]

I'm still on my first wedding ( and 3 engagement sessions ). Do you have other videos to recommend? Thanks!!

[@maryflores-camacho48]

@@samueltrujillophotographyI don't have any specific links but I learned a lot by watching Jerry Gihonis' videos. I saw one of his sponsored ads on FB, I signed up, and I got to see him shoot an entire wedding from start to finish. Even if you don't come across any of his ads, his videos will give you lots of ideas.

[@stephanyfaycohen3842]

Many thanks, John. Very helpful. I have not taken any wedding images as yet. However, in my mind, I am always seeing DISTANT SHOTS.

[@jbivphotography]

Glad this was helpful. I always love helping out however I can!

[@pimbech]

Tip for WideShotWednesday - it is best to let the couple walk to the right. This symbolizes a new story, progression. If you walk to the left, you walk back into time, and has a more negative or ending feel. Movies also use this technique.

[@kphoria1009]

smart

[@CvarlzHeimdall]

NC Photographer here. I am starting my preparation to do the transition to weddings and these videos are one of my main learning tools. Thank You!

[@jbivphotography]

Great to hear!

[@emetnnc]

Amazing tips!

[@JosiahBlizzard]

Might have to steal "head cuddling" cause that is gold. Nice work bro!

[@jbivphotography]

lol. It really is my favorite. Anything to make stuff cute and get a giggle in there. Thanks!

[@randyschwager2515]

Thanks! Very helpful as I’ve been drafted to photograph my nieces wedding! I’m primarily a landscape and wildlife photographer so I have a lot to learn before the wedding!

[@eliskatesarova3104]

I'm taking so many notes, need to thoroughly prepare for my first wedding, dude! Thanks!

[@jbivphotography]

You got this! You're going to do great on your first wedding. Good luck!

[@2stix4et]

Hey John love the videos. They are really Helpful. One of my Signature poses is a photo of the hands Displaying the rings, while each person is holding each others Pinky finger. I call it the "Pinky Promise". My couples always love that shot.

[@jbivphotography]

Nice! That's a great shot idea actually. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidpatrick3407]

Thank you very much for these

[@KarinaBatista03]

This video is so helpful! love the wall pose!

[@GoodGuysMedia]

This video saved my life yesterday! Watch John branch before your wedding is like taking your vitamins in the morning👌 I subconsciously and consciously made more successful decisions in decisive situations where in the past, I would have fried in a pan. Instead I chef'd up some great photos 📸 and memories as John guided me. I can not thank you enough, John. Experiance is the greatest teacher, but having an experienced teacher helps in ways that can not be put into words.

[@gabrielles98]

Thank you for that!!!

[@jbivphotography]

You're welcome!

[@alannawoody171]

your images are stunning -- thank you for these tips! :)

[@emileebeausoleil7937]

This was exactly what I needed to watch - shooting my first wedding of the season tomorrow and I needed some posing inspiration. You're the best! Already binged 5 of your other videos. Thanks for sharing!!

[@StormsLover94]

I have my first wedding shoot next weekend and am so excited/nervous!

[@jbivphotography]

Good luck! You got this!
