As a photographer, I love doing weddings in Chester County, PA. The scenery there is gorgeous. You can get some great formal wedding poses. Sometimes though, the best photos you get from a shoot are the ones that occur right before or right after a posed shot. You can catch people laughing or making faces. These are from a wedding I did recently in West Chester, PA. We went to take the formal portraits at Goose Creek Park. I gave direction for how to stand but before they were ready and after the pose, I kept shooting and got some really great, natural pictures with genuine smiles and a bit of fun too. Also, if the group has their own ideas, you can tell them to do something silly and they tend to have a silly pose that they do when taking their own photos. In this case, there was a particular face all the girls made. These types of photos are the ones that show the true feeling of the day and the spirit of the people you are photographing.
