Wedding portraits have almost become a tradition, what with most couples spending a huge chunk of their Indian wedding budget on making sure a top notch photographer helps them slay their wedding years after it actually happens. Yes, we’re talking about the classic couple portrait, these days an absolute must at an Indian wedding!
If you’re looking for inspiration to make your big day one to frame, look no further. We give you 21 novel ways to rock that couple portrait.
1. Show Off a Little. It’s your big day! And you’ve probably spent a bomb on couture, so why not show it off? Try poses that
focus on your gorgeous lehenga, saree or gown, but don’t forget the groom’s sherwani!

Dance Dance Baby! The first dance a couple share after they are officially married is, needless to say, a rare and special moment that signifies a new beginning. In other cases, that is when the bride and groom let go of all their inhibitions and dance the night away- literally! Our advice? Capture this moment. Instead of being super poised, let the rhythm guide you.
