Here are a few of my wedding photography tips that I’ve collected from various places…

• Have your make-up professionally done! Make-up that is going to look great in photos is tough to do. I has to be heavier to stay on all day. So many brides have make-up that’s washed out or try to put heavier make-up on by themselves and end up looking clownish.
• CLEAN YOUR ROOM! I’ve read that it drives photographers crazy when they come to take you’re getting ready photos and you have junk splayed from one end of the room to the other. As expected, brides are often in a frenzy trying to get everything done and can easily overlook what a mess the room is. Of course they realize this later when they get the photos back. So, have house-keeping come and make the bed and if necessary just hove the extra stuff in drawers or the closet so its out of your photos. Before reading this tip, I could have been the girl getting ready with diet coke cans (my signature!) and my pajamas in the background!
• Bring a nice hanger - we’ve all seen beautiful pictures of the dress hanging up before its put on, however who wants to see a wire dry cleaning hanger? Take a moment and put the dress on a nice hanger before leaving home. Hopefully the hotel will have a nice one, however some hotels have those hangers you can’t remove from the rod.
