How to not look fat in wedding photos?

The way you hold yourself in a photo can change how you look, and it has nothing to do with your actual size. Stand at a three-quarter angle to the camera rather than straight on. This creates a natural shadow and slims the silhouette. Put your weight on your back foot and let your front knee relax slightly, which adds a gentle curve.

Keep your arms a little away from your sides, not pressed against your body. This prevents them from looking squashed and creates a flattering gap. Tuck your chin down slightly and push your forehead forward, which reduces any double chin effect. Do not suck in your stomach; instead, breathe out and relax your shoulders. Tension makes you look stiff and wider.

Wear clothes that fit well and skim your body rather than cling or hang too loose. Darker colours and vertical lines can help, but comfort is key. Finally, smile genuinely. A forced smile tightens your face, while a real one softens everything. Practice a few poses in a mirror before the day, and ask your photographer for guidance. They have done this many times and will know what works for your body.
