My friends weren't allowed to have
pictures taken during the ceremony, so they had to fake the
ring exchange in pictures taken afterwards. They came out
so cheesy. Our officiant just told us we'll have to do the
same. What are our options?
You might be surprised by what your officiant says if you
ask her to bend the rules, Even if she stands firm, she might
be willing to help you out by offering you options like taking
shots without the flash, which some photographers prefer during
those moments, or allowing the photographer to stand in an
inconspicuous spot on the sidelines.
But if the rules are super-strict, there are ways you can
keep from looking forced and strained while faking it. Don't
think of smiling and posing, think of just being and laughing.
Tickle each other's hands if you have to. Genuine grins make
for a much more beautiful and natural photo.
