Planning your Photos:
The formal pictures and portraits are a central part of any wedding package. For most weddings, if everything goes like clockwork, the formal wedding session will take at least one and a half hours. The formal session can be tiring, particularly for the bride and groom, who are in every photo. Here are some tips, and some things to consider, for your formal session.
Plan ahead. Take the shot list provided by your photographer and carefully consider it before the wedding. List every shot that you want taken and return it to the photographer at least a week before the ceremony. We suggest a variety of different looks when choosing clothing for your session. At least one casual outfit and one formal. Solid colors work best. Avoid anything with wording or large logos, wild patterns or stripes, unless you are trying to make a certain statement. Wear fitted, tailored clothing, but avoid anything that might be too tight. If it doesn't fit right, it will only show up 100% more in your pictures.
Retouching is included in print collections. Retouching is natural and beautiful, never overdone. There are no additional charges for cropping, black & white or sepia conversion.
We always keep your whole session archived in case you ever need additional prints after you've ordered. You may also order any photo from your session, not just the images in your first order.
Try to get enough sleep the night before. Don't rush around before your session. Try to come into your session as relaxed and unstressed as you can. If something stressful happens, just call me and reschedule!
Ladies, if you usually wear makeup, wear a little bit more then you usually do. If you never, ever wear makeup, please wear a little bit of shine controlling powder and clear lip gloss or even a chapstick with a little bit of sheen. Little things like this really make a difference. Dry lips don't photograph well!

Wedding Photo Tips

Expression says it all and her expression says exactly what she is thinking: "If you are thinking of pushing that cake in my face you had better FORGET IT!"
A beautiful wedding portrait will not be very appealing if the bride and groom look tense and strained. Allow enough time for formal pictures and portraits so you can put your mind at ease. It will also take some time to begin to feel comfortable with your photographer. A good photographer will talk with you throughout the process and eventually you will start to relax and feel comfortable in his or her presence.
Most people also find that it is very difficult, when posing in front of a camera, to consistently give a great expression. Notice I said great "expression" and not great "smile". The best photos have great expressions and not ear-to-ear smiles. Here's a few tips.
If you cannot produce a natural pleasant expression on command, just forget about smiling altogether. Try to forget about the photographer being there and just feel happy! That's right....relax, and just feel happy. The natural happiness will show on your face.
Ask your photographer if you can look away for a moment and then look back into the lens. If the photographer is fast he can capture the natural expression on your face as you look back. Take the time, ahead of time, to make a list for the photographer of any heirlooms, any special clothing items, any decorations, or anything else that you will want a photo of.
If you see a photo in a bridal magazine or elsewhere that you really like, don't be afraid to show it to your photographer and ask him or her to do something similar for your wedding.
Most photographers will provide you with a shot list that will be a good starting point.

Every couple needs to decide what their engagement and wedding package will consist of depending upon their budget. Some couples may choose a less expensive engagement package to allow a more elaborate wedding package.
There are several important uses for engagement photos:
1) You need a good photo for the newspaper announcement of your wedding. Most photographers can take the picture and submit it to the paper for you.
2) You deserve to have a nice wall portrait of the two of you from "the days before you are married."
3) You might want to include a print of your engagement picture in your wedding invitations.
4) Engagement photos make great gifts.
Another creative use of your engagement portrait is to create a guest register for your wedding by placing a copy of your photo in a large matte and have quests write their comments as they enter instead of in a guest book.
This creation provides an interesting guest register that can also hang in your home for many years and bring back memories each time you see it.
You can certainly select an expensive assortment of engagement pictures if you want to send them to family or friends, but your engagement package can also be a place to save some money if you are on a tight budget.

Formal Photos before or after the ceremony?
Customs are changing. It was once the tradition that the bride did not want to be seen by the groom until the start of the wedding ceremony. This means that the formal and group pictures could not be taken until after the wedding. But fewer and fewer couples are following this tradition. Some brides have told me that they consider the wedding ceremony to have started when the families and friends come together but most decide to have the photos before the wedding simply because this is the most practical thing to do, and the most considerate for those who will be in the photos.
