Tips and Advice
My tips for great wedding photography.  I've always wanted to tell people this and here's my chance; Yayy. 

There are a few secrets to making sure that beautiful, real photographs are captured during the day.  One secret is to be yourself, relax, have a great time and let the emotions totally flow.  While great vistas and locations can help to make beautiful photos, ultimately the photos will be about you and the people who are there to share in your wedding day.

Secret number two.  Great photos are not about location, after location, after location.  Great photos are about having a little bit of time where you can get comfortable and your photographer can really work the scene.  Cram in too many locations and you'll only have enough time to jump out of the limo/bus/trolley and take a few quick snapshots.  Selecting a location that you love, that means something to the two of you will help you relax and let you enjoy time with each other which always makes for amazing photos.

Secret number three.  It's not about the pose.  How many times have you actually dipped each other in the middle of a street?  Jump off something screaming?  Probably not that often, if ever, yet it's so prevalent in wedding photos.  Hold hands like you normally do.  Look at each other like you always do.  Kiss.  Walk.  Sit.  Do the things that you feel like doing on your wedding day.  Then you'll end up with photos that are more than just the trendy photo but photos that capture who you really are, ones that show the connection between you two.

Most of all, enjoy your wedding.  Then you'll have great memories captured for you and your family to laugh, cry and talk about for decades.
