How to Look Your Best in Your Event Video & Photos

We get it.

Being in front of a camera can feel intimidating. Whether it’s your wedding, quinceañera, or a special event, you want to look and feel your best on video and in photos. The good news? With a little preparation and the right mindset, you’ll look natural, confident, and glowing on camera. Here are our top tips!

1. Wear What Makes You Feel Confident

The best way to look great is to feel great. Choose an outfit that you’re comfortable in and that flatters your features. Avoid clothing with overly small patterns (which can look weird on video) and go for solid, bold colors that pop.

2. Keep Your Posture Strong & Relaxed

Good posture makes a huge difference on camera. Keep your shoulders relaxed, stand tall, and avoid crossing your arms (which can look defensive or awkward). The more open and relaxed you look, the better.

3. Trust Your Videographer & Photographer

One of the biggest mistakes people make is overthinking every pose. Instead, trust your videographer to guide you into natural movements. The best moments happen when you’re just enjoying the event!

4. Smile, But Keep It Natural

Don’t force a big smile in every shot! Soft, natural expressions often look better on camera than a stiff, exaggerated grin. If you’re nervous, take a deep breath and focus on the moment rather than the camera.

5. Movement Makes a Huge Difference

Some of the best shots come from moving naturally—walking, turning, laughing, or adjusting your outfit. Video loves movement! If in doubt, just keep moving slightly instead of posing stiffly.

REMEMBER

Looking your best in photos and videos isn’t about posing perfectly—it’s about feeling great and letting your personality shine. With these tips and the right photographer, you’ll look amazing. Ready to book your event coverage? Let’s chat today!
