Her Behind Him

17.10

Body: This pose can be tricky because it can so easily look awkward. Keep a few things in mind when using this pose. If the bride places her arms up near his chest, it can make her arms look quite large because they will be pressed against his arm. In this case, the bride is obviously fit, so it’s not an issue here, but most people don’t have arms like that. Another issue is that the groom must remain fairly straight for this pose to work. The bride can hug him from behind, but she should not pull him toward her or his center of gravity will change. That’s exactly what happened here. Look how the groom is leaning too far back for the pose to look natural.
