Advice to all future brides

Original post by jimmysgrl

Okay...I just got my proofs back and have the most important advice I could possibly give...
MAKE SURE TO REQUEST A LOT OF PICTURES OF BRIDE AND GROOM LOOKING AT CAMERA SMILING. I've read everywhere that a lot of brides are disappointed because there aren't a lot of just couple shots and I'm one of them. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, MAKE SURE TONS OF THESE ARE TAKEN! It seems obvious, but don't assume anything.

Second bit, girls who have chest fat make sure to be conscious of your arms and don't put them pressed against your sides. SUCH A REGRET!

Third bit, it seems to be the latest way to take pictures is on an angle. On an angle....anywho, 80% of my pictures are on an angle, not straight on, you kind of have to tilt your head 45 degrees to your left to get an idea. I understand the artistic aspect but I'm a simple girl and like the standard pictures. Make sure to communicate that.

And fourth, make sure you research pictures of brides and grooms at your reception site/ ceremony, so you get ideas of places/ poses you want to take. Again, don't assume the photographers know the best angles or spots to take pictures for all reception sites.

*******It should be said that I don't think this is specific to the photographer I used because I've heard similar vendor reviews of other photography studios. I think so much of it may be the trend of the way pictures are taken. Communication is just the most important thing you can do with the photographers shooting your wedding.

Thats the best advice I can give

YES!!! Especially if you use a photographer who doesn't specialize in posed shots or portrait sessions! Make sure you and your husband look at the camera together for some shots even if your photographer doesn't request it.

Re: Advice to all future brides

Thank you so much for the advice, I am going to start taking pics of myself in various poses. I gained a lot of weight this summer (yummy yummy vodka) but I have finally started to lose some of it, but I am still well over 20 pouinds heavier than I was just 2 years ago. My arms are starting to get shape back but a long way to go! (with a very short time! 3 months yikes!) Thanks so much and I hope you at least have some pictues you love :)
