Tips and Advice
Wedding Tips from Scott



You are getting married for the first time. The planning, researching and details can be overwhelming at times. Having been to many weddings, there are some things that I have seen that can help you out to make things run a tad smoother on the day. Here are a few!

1. Have your Bridesmaids get ready before you.
Why? Because your images will have all of your maids dressed in your colors and your images will be that much more beautiful during moments when they help you get your dress on, helping you with your hair and makeup, putting a garter on, etc. If your bridesmaids are still in jeans and t-shirts it can take away from the beauty you envision your day to be.

2. Coming Down the Aisle.
STOP! ... It's your Wedding Day! It's going to go by so quickly. As you walk down the ailse, whether in a big cathedral or in the outdoor gardens, take a moment for yourself and take in the moment. This is it! Look around you, look at that caring person who is walking you down the aisle, then look at the end of the aisle at the wonderful man who wants to be your husband, your childrens father, and sitting next to you on the porch in his old age. This is the moment it begins! Stop and take it all in. Read more on my web site
