Wedding Photography Tips| Wedding Photography Ideas

One of the biggest things a bride doesn’t want to skimp on is her wedding photography. So, it is important to shop around photographers, see samples of their work, AND find out what they like to focus on or what fun ideas they would have for your wedding.

Alongside having the right photographer, there are a couple of shots that you will not want to miss. It is going to be one of the biggest events in your life; capture it.

Wedding Photography Tips

Photos You Won’t Want to Miss For Your Wedding

1) Getting Ready – The hanging dress. This is one of the more artistic shots that you can get and it is an important one because it is catching that quiet moment as a bride-to-be becomes a bride.

It is like capturing that quick moment before you leap and you pull in that quick excited and nervous breath. Additionally, it let’s you feature your beautiful wedding dress without any distractions.

2) The bride AND groom’s expression upon seeing each other walking up the aisle. A lot of things are going on as the bride walks up to her groom in a ceremony.

The bride is taking her finally steps as daddy’s little girl, she is walking to the man she will spend the rest of forever with, her groom is seeing the woman he was so lucky to fall in love with, and everyone around them is beaming with joy, pride, and good wishes.

That is why this is a pivotal moment to capture. Don’t let the look on the bride and grooms face as they come together slide by in all the other happening of this moment.

3) The Father’s expression walking his daughter down the aisle. Just like in the description above, walking down the aisle is a big deal, but it isn’t just for the bride.

Dad’s raise their daughters; they hope the best for them and when the walk them down the aisle they are entrusting their little girls happiness in the groom.

You will be so happy your photographer snuck that shot of your dad’s joy and approval.

4) The Wedding Rings. As the biggest symbol of your union, they make a great long lasting photo that you will always treasure.

These photos can work with you wearing your rings, but they also open an open door to creating a shot that features your rings and your unique wedding themes and styles.

5) Your Wedding Accessories. These are those lovely little details you have spent so much time picking out.

Wedding Photography Tips

It is important to remember to have your photographer capture the ambiance of your wedding because while details like centerpieces and cake toppers, like this True Love Banner Cake Topper, may be the backdrop, they also create moments.

Six Awesome Bridal Shower Planning Ideas

Helpful Tips and Guides for Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids

You might not be responsible for hosting or paying for the bridal shower, but structuring the event is in your hands. Forget the registry and get creative.

Not only will your gifts be special to the bride, but the activities and presentations you do at the shower are what really make it exceptional. "Delegating" and "Do-It-Yourself" are the two D’s to live by here.

Some of the options I have given below are more common than others, but you can take any idea and bring it to the next level by making it personal.

Examples:

1. The Scrapbook (my personal favorite): Get the guest list in advance and mail out blank scrapbook page refills like these from Michael’s to all the bride’s friends.
Ask people to make a collage of pictures, stickers, poems, inside jokes, or other memories and bring it to the shower.
Anyone who can’t attend can still mail it back and participate. Assemble the scrapbook there, present it to her and pass it around.

2. Notes of Advice: Have “notes of advice” and some pens at each table or at a separate station and then put them all in a personalized box.
If you think the advice cards are played out, ask guests to write where they think the couple will be in 10 years from now. Have her read some out loud.

3. Recipes/Baking Basket: Send out blank recipe cards with the invitations and collect them at the shower. Take it up a notch by creating custom recipe cards like the one pictured at designhergals.com. Put them in a personalized recipe box, and throw in other kitchen supplies like an apron, personalized spatulas, cookie cutters, measuring spoons and a wedding cupcake kit.

If you want a book instead of cards, tastebook.com is a really cool way to collect recipes from everyone and have them professionally printed before the shower.

Anyone can do it online and add pictures and a note to the bride, plus the bride has the option of adding to the book later on by ordering recipes or printing her own from the website.
If you want to DIY and cut costs, collect recipes and some pictures from just the bridesmaids and have one girl put the book together.

4. Honeymoon Kit: Give her “just married” flip flops, monogrammed travel cosmetic bags, passport covers, and luggage tags for the honeymoon. If you know where she’s going get some travel books for the location and put it all in a monogrammed beach tote with travel toiletries and snacks for the plane. For a friend who was going to Hawaii, we all wore leis when she opened it at the shower.

5. Future Mrs. _______: This one won’t always work, but if the letters in her new last name can be divided among the bridesmaids, have each girl present her with a gift to be used on her wedding day, for the honeymoon, or in her new home that begins with their letter.

Buy a pack of large alphabet stickers and stand in order with your gift bag to spell out her soon-to-be name.

6. Montage: If you have the software and some AV equipment, make a video montage and add some oomph by videotaping the groom and inserting clips throughout.

For example have him talk about when he knew he wanted to marry her or what he’s looking forward to most at the wedding. An easier alternative is to make her a CD with songs that are meaningful from each bridesmaid and play it during the shower.
