groom’s homework

snap-a-phobia: the groom’s secret fear of look “de-masculated” in the engagement and wedding photos.

scene… a steamy bathroom. a man stands alone wiping the last bit of shaving cream from his face. he looks down at his clothes on the chair, lovingly picked out by his fiancee. dread steals over him like a cold sweat. he dresses quickly, filled with anxious reservation and wonders, … “what will those crazy snapgirls ask me to do? i don’t want to look lame. i don’t want my friends to bust my chops. i don’t want to have to smash all the computers at work so my co workers can’t see me on the snap blog looking ridiculous! will they {gasp!} ask me to skip?”

scene… the snapgirls are beginning their photo shoot, they glance over at the groom. he is ringing his hands. sweat is beading up on his forehead despite the air conditioned room they are in. he’s pale, underside of a fish pale… “poor thing,” they think… “he has a bad case of snap-a-phobia.”

sure laugh, but seriously we ladies cannot relate to the horror that is having your photo taken and oh, looking all in love in the photos while still holding onto a shred of masculinity. things can go terribly wrong very quickly, a foot turned the wrong way, a hand placed in the wrong spot, a tilted head, and bam! your less a man than you were 5 minutes ago.

the good news is… snap has been making men look manly since 2004! we love men! we want them to look manly and we make darned sure they do. of course it helps to have a pretty lady draped on their shoulder, but when one isn’t available at the moment, we still make them look like men! we’ll gently coax them into man posing and before you know it they are actually having fun. but not too much fun, not like skipping down the street fun or anything. because that’s totally not manly.

here’s some examples of our famous “man posing. ” all just regular, nice guys. no modeling experience required.

disclaimer: none of the men above were “de-masculated” in any way during the making of these photographs. they all left the photo shoots happy and with their manhood intact {so to speak}.
