The pose if very stiff. For women, it is much better if they face a bit away from the camera with their body and then turn their head towards the camera. Once you have that, you can also get her to lower the shoulder closest to the camera.
@SimplyTracie I wish. I'm not sure I could handle weddings - too much pressure to get everything right on the spot. I haven't had my camera out for about a year now. I did some online courses on portrait photography and poses. There are courses on modellign as well as portrait photography. Is that you in the picture?
