• To build up a relationship with your photographer, arrange meeting with him before your wedding day and discuss any special shots that you want to capture during the day itself. Having a good mutual with your photographer will come across in the pictures.

• Consider you’ll be looking at these for years to come. A good idea to think about is what style you fancy for your wedding album. Accordingly, there are different styles for everyone. Choose what would you like a contemporary album full of candid shots of impromptu moments or a classic album with traditional photographs.

• Look through the option of colour: sepia, black and white or a complete mixture of finishes.
Find out how long your photo session will take so you can organize with your venue when to serve your wedding breakfast and how to keep your guests entertained in the meantime. Then use a great idea to visit the venue with your photographer before your wedding. You can choose picturesque backdrops for the bridal party and family shots together.

• Give your photographer an idea of the style of wedding you are planning. For instance, a very formal affair at a grand estate, or something a little more relaxed. Let your photographer use this visit to find a number of alternative locations for the pictures, just in case the weather doesn’t turn out as nice as you hope.

• Choose your bridal make-up carefully; remember that less is definitely more especially in terms of lip-gloss and shimmer powder. Some little shimmer and gloss can create a beautiful dewy appearance, but too much will make you look sweaty and shiny. If you don’t want the flash of your photographer’s camera to bounce straight off your highly glossed lips or shiny forehead, if you’re not confident with applying your own makeup on the day, then treat yourself by booking a trained makeup artist to come to your home on your wedding morning to help you get ready.

• Forget that there’s a camera pointing at you and use this time to spend some quality moments together before you rejoin your friends and family.
Remember that you have just got married, the hard part has been done so enjoy it and it will be apparent throughout your wedding album.

• Consider the best photographs are usually the ones that are taken when you don’t even know the photographer is there, so enjoy your day, mingle with your friends and family as normal and relax.
You shouldn’t act differently when the camera is around. Be sure, if you and your new husband are happy and your guests are comfortable, then the atmosphere will be easily captured.

• Choosing the color of lipstick you should be careful with some orange or coral tones. They can make your teeth look dull and yellow. The best is to stick with red, brown or pink shades to ensure your teeth appear pearly white and sparkling in all your pictures. Lipsticks that are too dark should blondes avoid, because they can make them look very pale.

• The most important tip to ensure you get a fantastic collection of wedding photographs from your big day is to be yourselves and have fun – don’t forget that this is your day to be treated as a celebrity, so enjoy every aspect of it!
