Don't Mix and Match. You and your future spouse are a perfect match...that's why you're getting married, right? So, why shouldn't the photographer you choose to capture the special day when you are finally deemed "man and wife" also be a perfect match for the two of you? Choosing a photographer who has a style that matches that of the bride&groom is imperative.
Stranger DANGER! If a stranger were to get in your face with a camera, wouldn't you be uncomfortable? The answer is yes, so make sure that doesn't happen. An easy way to accomplish this is to get to know your photographer before the big day.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In picking your location be sure to keep photos in mind...a good backdrop does wonders.
Flower Power. Keeping the flowers seasonal will compliment the flow of the pictures and attire.
LIGHTS...camera...action. A professional photographer will know about the lighting that will set the perfect mood for photos so make sure to adhere to instructions about timelines.
No POSERS, please. The best pictures are the ones that are not posed, so be natural and enjoy yourself. You only have one wedding photoshoot (we hope!).
"Happiness is never stopping to think if you are".Throughout the wedding, focus on the people and things that bring you joy not what you "think" you're supposed to be doing.
Timing is everything. Keep in mind travel time, lighting set up, lens swaping etc.
Patience is key. The photos are not going to get back to you write away. Photographers spend HOURS retouching your pictures to make sure they ARE picture perfect.
