Hold hands
This pose is especially pretty if you have a gorgeous venue or wide-open space as a backdrop. Line up in a row with your wedding party and have everyone hold hands with you and your partner in the middle leaning in for a kiss.
Spell out your name
If you and your partner will share the same last name, enlist your wedding party to stand behind the two of you while you kiss, holding up letters that spell out your new name.

Have each bridesmaid and groomsman pair up and capture a shot of everyone with their partners, including you with your soon-to-be-spouse. If you have an uneven number, change pairs into groups of three.
