For a wedding photographer to get the best photos of you on your wedding day, it is important that you look and feel great! We came up with some tips that will help you feel confident that you are beaming in your wedding photos. It will also make everyone say “wow” when you walk into the room!
Your hands will be photographed a lot on your wedding day. Your photographer will want close ups of your ring and flowers and a few shoots
2. Good Alterations are Essential
Your dream wedding dress can become a nightmare if your dress isn’t altered correctly. You don’t want to be pulling your dress up all day or worrying about tripping over your dress as you dance. A proper fit will make you feel beautiful and comfortable!
3. Find a Photographer You Love
A quality photographer who you feel comfortable with will make your wedding photos infinitely better. Photos will be fun rather than feel like a chore. Bonus tip: schedule an engagement photo shoot to get to know your photographer and learn to be comfortable in front of the camera.
4. Makeup is a Must
Even if you don’t typically wear much makeup, we recommend that you plan to wear it on your wedding day. Airbrushed foundation will keep your face shine-free all day, lipstick will brighten your face and mascara will draw attention to your eyes. Be sure to set up a trial if you hire a professional so you will be comfortable the day of your wedding.
5. Check Yourself Throughout the Day
Whether you ask a friend to be on the lookout for stray hairs and fading lipstick or plan to visit the ladies room every few hours, be sure to check yourself out. You’ll want to remember the joy of the day, not be reminded of a stain on your dress or loosened hair style.
6. Relax!
You’ve made it – your wedding day is here. You and your beloved get to celebrate your commitment with your closest friends and family. Enjoy it! When you let the stress fall away and focus on the love you have for your significant other, the photos will be fantastic!
