If you are doing all of your photos before the wedding ceremony ask your photographer to arrange a special “private time together” for the two of you before the photo session begins. How romantic to walk down the aisle to your groom and have him tell you how beautiful you are! You may choose to be totally alone or have your photographer present to record this very special moment.

If you will be having any photographs created in the Church prior to the wedding it is wise to request that your aisle runner, if using one, not be pinned in place until after the photo session is completed so that it is not protruding into the foreground of any photos at the front of the Church.

**************************************

From Judy Gaulden of Photo Artistry by Judy

 

Brides should consider this tip before deciding to use any type of products which add a sparkle to the skin. Using these will quite possibly result in little white spots in your photographs due to the flash of light created in exposing the film hitting the sparkle on your skin. In the final photograph, it would appear as a little white dot in each location where there was a sparkle. While the sparkles may be pretty in person they can be very costly to have removed from all of your photographs.
