Just a casual lurker here, appreciate all you regular contributors. I have my first wedding where the bride is what I would consider significantly taller than the groom. From a bit of facebook stalking, which is all I could do at this point, with heals I am guessing she'll be 5" taller or so.
If anyone has a blog post they could link showing some good poses for a taller bride with a shorter groom, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Kyle
***Edit: Just to add. The couple is very laid back and easy to work with. They did not request anything specific regarding this, I just thought I would be a little pro-active.
If they're laid back then roll with it. No need for special poses. Had a wedding like this 2 years ago. She wore flats instead of heels but was still slightly taller than the groom. No big deal.
I think it will matter more about how they interact more than the height difference. Have them sit, laying down, stairs, whatever. It can be done without making it look like the groom is towering in contrast.
I've always found far more difficult when the groom has had a more feminine way of posing compared to the bride. That is hard because I'm trying not to say "MAN UP, GRAB HER LIKE SHE'S YOURS"
Just kidding. They are certainly aware of their height difference and if they are okay with it, you should be too. Good seated poses would be helpful, and if you are okay at doing some more "editorial" looking poses you could always stick him in the foreground and have her back a bit and use perspective to toy with the composition a bit. But other than portraits, I'd say the rest of the day just approach it like any other wedding.
Sitting poses are great, and it's pretty likely that the bride will wear flats. I've had a few weddings like this, but the brides always wore flats and it evened out pretty nicely.
