After taking photographs at hundreds of weddings, we've
learned what
works and what doesn't. Here are some of the tips we share
with our brides:
- Glittery makeup can make skin appear oily
- Try on dress and all undergarments to be worn before the wedding day
The Wedding:
- Don’t use paper streamers, they look like toilet paper in photos
- Exchanging vows under an archway may make photography angles very difficult
- See the changing room in advance, some are small with no mirrors. Make sure the room has air conditioning if you have a summer wedding
- If your post-wedding photography time is limited, consider foregoing the receiving line and thank guests at the reception.
The Reception:
Don’t wait until late in the reception to:
- Cut the cake, some people leave early and there will be more left over
- Do a money dance; older guests tend to leave first and your friends will not part with their money to dance with you
- Throw bouquet and garter, it’s a shame when there’s no one to catch them
