I can’t believe how excited I am May is here. From now on I will have at least 2 weddings a month until October and I can’t wait to share with my couples their wonderful day. When I look at all the gorgeous locations I will be shooting I can’t help but feel blessed. I put together a list with my 5 tips for awesome wedding pictures:
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER: There is nothing more devastating then not liking or wedding photos, or worse yet, HATING your wedding photos. So look around and find a professional photographer with a style you like. Once you find that person book as soon as possible. Photography should be one of the first items for you to cross off your list.
2. TANNING: I know you want to look nice and tan for your photos, BUT, if you are going tanning, make sure your fiance goes too so you both look tan. Also, be careful with self-tanners and the “orange” look.
3. SHOES: Bring flip-flops along while taking photos so you can put them on while walking to different locations. This will keep your pretty shoes clean AND will help with pain.
4. TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER: I can’t stress this enough. Hiring a “professional” photographer has many advantages. They will should have backup equipment, know what they are doing, and will be able to deliver images that follow the same look and feel of what you’ve seen on their website. SO, trust them and let them be creative.
5. TIMELINE: It is always better to have “breathing room” in your timeline than to be rushing everything so plan accordingly. Your wedding planner or photographer can help you with this.
6. PRETTY HANGER: I usually have a nice hanger in my trunk (just in case), but this is a cool detail and you can find nice looking hangers on etsy or maybe borrow a wooden hanger from grandma!
7. FAMILY FORMAL LIST: I ALWAYS require a family formal list from my brides and I think this is SO important. By following a list I can usually be done with family formals in less than 30 minutes. It makes it a lot easier not to forget anybody!
8. OUTSOURCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE: Even to friends and family. Give other people the responsibility to get specific tasks done. Then assign one person (other than yourself) to whom people can go when they have questions (having a wedding planner is HUGE!). You don’t want to be stressed on your wedding day and having people coming to you with problems will stress you out and your photographer wants you happy and relaxed for photos.
9. GIVE YOUR PHONE TO YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT: If anybody calls or needs anything she can direct them to whoever can help them.
10. HAVE A SPA DAY: Get a facial, a massage, your nails done, anything you can think of to relax the day before the wedding. Don’t get your hair cut on the week of the wedding though (just in case).
Enjoy your day because it will always be a beautiful and special day. Your pictures will look amazing (especially if you hire moi)!
Love,
Poly
