Pick a photographer that you feel comfortable talking to and working with. It will help you feel relaxed in front of the
camera. Your wedding photos will reflect your ease and appear candid.
When you have selected your wedding photographer you will start considering what should be photographed on your big
day.
So many questions to answer and it isn't even your wedding day yet! Here is some advice for the perfect bridal shoot.
The location of your bridal shoot is one of the most important decisions you can make. Find out ahead of time if your
photographer does location shooting. If yes, check out their favorite places to shoot. If you have a hairdo which is easily
gets out of control in the wind, you might want to consider hiring a hairdresser for a bridal shoot as well.
If you want some adventure, find a beautiful place that has meaning to you.
Some public locations may require photography permits, so beware of that extra cost.
Bed and breakfasts and wedding venues make wonderful locations as well. Call ahead and ask how much a photos session
is at their location. Usually it is very reasonable or free if you are having your wedding there.
Ask your photographer to make sure they get some non-traditional as well as traditional shots. Having both to choose
from is a must!
Factor in the weather and time of year. Being in a beautiful garden before the flowers have bloomed will rarely give the
impact you were looking for.
Spring summer, fall winter; be prepared for the environment. For spring and summer shoots, bring water. Bring your coat
for the fall and winter shoot. You will be glad you did.
You can have a photo on a chair on the beach or in your dress is water. Sometimes a simple highway will do. Make sure
you and your photographer hit it off well and have the same view of what your shoot will be like. You better get along
well; they will be with you for hours on the day of your wedding.
Also, make a list of all individuals or groups of people you want to have photos with after the ceremony. There is a high
chance of forgetting about somebody if you don't have that list handy.
