• The one golden rule from our experience of photographing brides is this: give yourself at least 3 hours for hair and make-up; brides who follow this one simple rule is always on time and never rushed for the photo session. Almost 99.9% of the delays are due to not planning enough time for hair and make-up

• Photographers use light like a painter uses paint. No matter how good your photographer is, without good lighting, your photography will suffer.If you have the luxury of picking what time you get married, it is a great idea to chat with us first to get the better idea about the best time to take pictures for your area. Once the party moves indoors, it is obviously less important since chances are, we are going to have to use some sort of artificial light to help us out anyway. However, even there, keep in mind what might look good to the naked eye, might not look good in a photograph. The eyes see light very differently than our cameras do.So, if you plan on lighting your entire reception by candles, Tiki Torches, and twinkle lights, just know that isn't a whole lot of light for your photographer to work with.It will look amazing in person, but it might not translate into a photograph. If you are shooting in almost total darkness, it can be hard to even focus on the subject, and the less ambient light we have to work with, the harder it is to make the lighting look natural on the subject.

• Let your emotions show on your wedding day. Don't hold back any affections if you are hoping for those romantic photos you've seen in magazines. The photographer will have better photo opportunities and much more to work with! Nuzzle each other's neck, touch noses, touch each other on the arm or waist, look into each other's eyes, and take some private moments to "get away" and sneak in a kiss or gaze into each other's eyes. Our photographers will follow you a few of those times at least and get priceless shots. Be aware of the scenery when you do so
