I sincerely thank everyone for taking the time to contribute an answer!! I used to lugged equipment around at wee hours for my dad, who loved taking scenic photos. I'm more sensitive to silhouettes, compositions of a photo but quite ignorant about portraits and how to behave being on the other end of the lens. At most I can only apply my knowledge of roman sculptures. An affordable photog who uses better cameras and lab was chosen. I forgo their packaged album to further cut cost. I'm afraid I would get what I paid for. But I am still working at achieving a timeless, simplistic and even artistic effect. I did request to see an unedited proof album to make sure I wasn't getting a one-album-wonder. Among the less presentable photos, I notice half came from the subjects(robotic, winced, unnatural) and some were unfortunately the carelessness of the photographer. As Timber mentioned, he could 'go by the numbers', at least if we as subjects cooperate, more good pictures would be churned out. I shall put my best foot forward, clip photos, and hope for the best. Your advice were invaluable!

I'm on the other side of the spectrum--a subject/client who will get
married in June. Our photographer hasn't offered suggestions when
asked. Our fault and all is now too late.. I'd still like to
increase the chance of having more good photos taken by at least
doing our part. We're both average height to tall, slender, "decent
looking". The dress is strapless and form-fitting down to upper
thigh. Unfortunately, we(icluding the maid of honour) are a bit
camera-shy and not used to taking pictures. I must say we cringe at
seeing some of the "traditional" poses. Any experience/advice that
you may have about candid and posing are greatly appreciated!
Besides trying to be relaxed, are there any trick and things to watch
out for?
