Tips and Advice

Taking great photos:

Be rested on your wedding day

Please have a meal, something light is better than nothing at all

*Select a dress that is flattering to "your body" not someone else’s

*Select a good makeup artist

Invite family members & friends to the wedding, not to work for you on the wedding day. On this note if anything goes sour how do you rectify it with a family member or friend without hurting the relationship?

*Hire a wedding planner or event coordinator they are well worth the money and they reduce stress before and during a wedding

Finally, let go and let the professionals do what you hired them to do

RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR DAY!
