Your wedding photo shoot
CANTERBURY BRIDE
It's always nice to know what you're in for when you have your wedding photos done as this will prepare you mentally.
I
mportant questions to consider prior to your big day would be what style of photos you prefer as this can be traditional, spontaneous, arty etc. Another question would be whether you'd prefer colour, sepia or black and white photos; with or without frames or a mix of everything. This all needs to be discussed with your wedding photographer before the wedding day - besides the fact that he/she needs to know what your preferences and requirements are, the photographer can give you some guidance and advice on must-have shots so that the photos you imagine can take on real life form. Although there are many hair styles to choose from, keep in mind that you'll have to look at these photos for ever, so I would advise against anything very different or extreme (the kids will probably just tease you about this later!). If you want your wedding photos to be timeless, go for a classic, simplistic hair style that would be easy to manage throughout your photo shoot and day. It's important to have a trial run with your make-up to avoid last minute disappointment. You know what you feel comfortable with, again, this needs to suit your personality. You want to mingle with your guests feeling comfortable and self-assured. Your wedding make-up should complement you, not change you. You need to feel comfortable, and most importantly be yourself so that your unique personality will reflect in the photos. But a girl needs all the help she can get and if a few props will help you to relax and have fun – why not! Take some props with you or ask the photographer to supply some interesting objects that you can use during your photo shoot, for example a hat, colourful sarong (that will double up to keep your dress clean in case you have to get down and dirty), a wedding invitation, your garter, a cigar for the groom etc . Give your photographer some healthy attitude and the right tools to be creative.
