Every bride wishes and dream of a perfect wedding day – a day that will linger on for a very long time on the lips of her friends.
Here's the secret - have more fun than everyone else! Your wedding is only the beginning; you are embarking on the start of your married life together. Focus on your new life together, and how excited you are to marry this person. The way you gaze at each other will reveal this passion, and it will allow the photographer to capture those moments.
Be up-front about your expectations: Inform the photographer and videographer well in advance the type of shots you want to be taken so that he or she can learn positioning and style. Don't be afraid to tell him of a style you got out of a magazine photo or to request photographs of special heirlooms or wedding day accessories.
Pre-Wedding Photo shoot: Let's face it; those "Magazine Bride” photos that you see are planned, practiced, and picked from hundreds of options. Planning a pre- wedding shoot will undoubtedly improve your pictures. This practice will give the photographer the chance to capture that special once in a lifetime moment for you.
Scheduling a set time for the photo session: In order minimize picture-taking time during reception hour, try to take a majority of the formal pictures before the ceremony. Some photos could be the bridesmaids, groomsmen, the bride with her family, and the groom with his. If you're traditional, you can wait until after the ceremony to involve the bride and groom together.
Know about restrictions: Get consent from the ceremony location as to where photographs and video are allowed. Many churches, synagogues, mosques and chapels have specific areas that cannot be photographed or filmed, so make sure to check with them before the big day.
Find time for intimate shots: Let the photographer take shots of just you and your special someone. Try sneaking off to a remote location for a few minutes to capture a truly loving moment that will definitely highlight your wedding album.
Breathe, relax, and smile: The brides who take the best pictures are always the ones who smile the most, and look as though they don't have a care in the world. While this day is to share with friends and loved ones, it's really about the wedding couple. Enjoy your wedding: laugh, smile, and gaze at your new husband/wife. Forget about the cameras and flashes and have fun!
