Wedding photography tips from a wedding photographer to make photos of your big day more awesome.

1. Consider A First Look

Let me start by saying a First Look isn't for everyone and it's something to talk about between the two of you. If you feel strongly about seeing each other for the first time while walking down the aisle, I am 100% behind you on this notion.

Here's what I like about a First Look :

-It makes for great photos. It's a special moment seeing each other that first time, and with just the two of you (and me at a comfortable and non-intrusive distance) it makes for great candid moments.

-A First Look can help relax the bride and groom and take away the nerves.

08

-It breaks up the day and makes you stop what you are doing, step away from the craziness and allows for more couple photos.

2. Step Away For Sunset Photos

I'm a sucker for a good sunset, so I'm a huge fan of finding a few moments to step away from the reception and capture a sunset portrait.

3. Don't Forget To Have Fun!

I like to have fun, and I think photographing weddings can be one of the most fun things ever.

Don't let the craziness of the day get in the way of your celebration. Remember this is YOUR big day to let the world know that you're in love. If you're running late, or someone else isn't on time or looking their best; just keep calm and get hitched. Choose to have fun and it will happen.
