This is one of the most common requests I get from our brides that they won't pose for any photo. The first point to understand from a photographer's perspective is what is the reason behind the person's shyness towards the camera. It could be that they aren't a very extroverted person and don't like to pose. In that case two techniques work best. Firstly, tell them that you'll just go the classical way of taking portraits. More often than not the portrait comes out very elegant if the background, sitting position and lighting is good. My additional technique is while taking this picture I engage them in a conversation and crack a joke or throw an unexpected statement which gets them laughing and we get a very natural reaction which the bride had never imagined will be in her wedding album.
Other reasons for the shyness could be that they may have not liked how they look in photos vis a vis to how they imagine themselves. Once you get to know exactly the reason which could be a preference of particular profile, height of taking pictures, omission of certain feature, it can be tackled. In few cases a simple counselling also can help the bride feel much better about her looks and embrace it wholeheartedly.

It is important to get comfortable with your Photography team, which can be easily attained through a pre-wed Photoshoot or getting along with them during the smaller rituals. They will ensure that you don’t do things that will put you in an awkward zone. Besides giving subtle poses are the key to attain great results.

It is suggested to forget if the camera is around and get yourself clicked in candid form majorly. Just enjoy your day and trust the artist to do their magic. You will find great results to come through if the photographer understands your expectations better.
