After all so much time and money has been spent on the wedding it is a shame to
then reduce the quality of the wedding photos for a few simple mistakes that I
have noticed are unfortunately quite commonplace at many weddings.
1. Please try and keep the room where the bride is preparing herself clean and
tidy. An important part of the day is the bride's preparations, often emotions
are running high and unique and intimate moments can occur. However it does not
help the quality of the photos if the room is a mess with underwear, tissues,
empty drink cans, food wrappers and all sorts lying around. This scene is most
often found when a hotel is being used for the preparations. Remember a clean
room looks nicer in the photos and it will also help you to stay calm as it will
reduce the chance of you having lost something in the chaos.
2. Make-up and Hair. If you are extremely confident about your abilities then go
ahead and do your own hair and make-up. However please bear in mind that wedding
make-up is different from normal make-up as it has to withstand the sun, heat,
sweating, lights, kissing, crying and more. If you are someone who does not
normally wear make-up please consider it for your wedding day. A sweaty face
without make-up will reflect the flash and cause many photographic problems. I
also believe that if you are getting married in a sunny climate a tan helps to
form a good base colour for the make-up. It also contrasts nicely with the white
of the wedding dress. For the groom make up is not necessary but a good shave
and a facial will help.
3. Hats and Veils. A hat can be an interesting accessory at a wedding and was
commonplace quite a few years ago. It can make for some great photos however it
can also cause problems with casting shadows over the face. Veils are very
common and look good however please make sure it is very well attached. The main
problem with veils is that after the wedding if you wish to have photos outside
and it is windy the veil may well be flying away too much. Be prepared to remove
the veil after the wedding if it is windy or if you have a veil that covers the
face a lot. For hats and veils the safest option is to do photos with and
without them for the best results.

4. Glasses. If you wear glasses
that's fine, I don't think you should suffer contact lenses just for the day of
the wedding if you don't normally wear them. After all if you are marrying
someone who wears glasses then that is how you know them. You can easily remove
them and do some photos without glasses.
5. Bouquet. The bride should practice walking and know how to hold her bouquet.
The photographer will tell you what to do with it but it helps if you already
are comfortable with it.
6. Shoes. Practice walking in your wedding shoes, you should be able to move
freely and without looking awkward.
7. Family photos. Prepare a list of family photos for the photographer. Your
relatives and friends may have traveled a long way to participate in your big
day, preparing a list beforehand will ensure that the most important group and
family shots are fulfilled without forgetting someone. The list will also make
the photographers job of the set group photos much quicker allowing you and your
wedding party more time together.
