Pre-wedding photoshoots are all about expressing your love for your partner and capturing it in pictures.

There are millions of pre-wedding poses to choose from – but only when executed naturally can a picture look insanely sweet.

Nevertheless, we have handpicked 8 common but romantic wedding poses you could try for your pre-wedding photoshoot. Stick around to find out more!

A forehead kiss conveys respect and appreciation. It is a sweet but simple and doable pose that looks stellar in photos with any backdrop and any outfit.

Men, this is the chance to show off your muscles! The lift is another classic pre-wedding pose that you could try. It is a versatile pose because it can look both romantic and fun depending on one’s facial expression.
