This comes as a golden rule especially if you are one of those people who are camera shy. It is okay to look away instead of directly at the camera. Look at your partner instead.

Hold something
If you haven’t got the clue about what to do with your arms, feel free to hold something – your bouquet maybe? You can hold your partner’s hands in yours, or hold the rings.
