how to pose couple when she is taller?

[pachelbelle]

I'm shooting a wedding in a few weeks (okay, it's my first!) and the bride is a good 6" taller than the groom. Other than having one of them sitting down in every couples shot, how can I pose them and discourage her (who's a good friend of mine) from hunching (which she does a lot!)?

Note: I don't think it's a bad thing at all that he's shorter, and I don't think they have any problems, I'm just looking for ways to improve posing without it looking awkward and to make her (who is sometimes uncomfortable with being tall) comfortable and confident.

I think you need to talk with and have them tell you their comfort level with the height difference and whether or not they would like you to try and minimize it through poses and props (i.e. a box to him to stand on).

If there are steps, you can have the groom standing on a higher step.
