These Tips will Help Insure Beautiful Photos
Capture All the Memories of Your Special Day
Choose a Photographer’s Assistant - This person’s allegiance will be to you, not the photographer. Choose someone close to you who will know your family and friends and be able to point them out to the photographer. Give your photo assistant his or her own copy of your “list of must-have shots” to check off as each one is taken. This way the pressure is off you to stay on top of your photographer.
Make sure your loved ones look fantastic in all your shots by having your photo assistant check smiles and fix hair, dresses, flowers, etc. A little preventative care can help ensure everyone (and everything) is preserved in your photo album looking their best. Inform photographer of special events - Throwing a surprise or two into your wedding or reception helps to keep a magical, spontaneous atmosphere. For example, some brides like to slip out of the reception to change dresses and return with a grand entrance to dance the night away. Be sure to let your photographer in on the secret! Otherwise, they may miss what can be the best candid photos of special  moments in your wedding or reception.
To color or not to color - Many of today’s brides are having their photographer snap both color and black and white photos. Black and white images provide a classic, timeless look. This traditional approach focuses in on your faces and expressions of love without the flashy distractions of color. Color adds a liveliness and reality to photos and can preserve a more accurate record of how your day really appeared. After all, you don’t want to have spent all that time anguishing over your wedding colors for nothing! Get the best of both worlds by combining the two approaches.
HINT: Full-length pictures capture all the beauty and magnificence of the wedding dress, wedding attire and beautiful scenery or backdrops. Close-up or half-length (above the waist) photographs better capture facial expressions and reveal more emotion.
