Help your Photographer

There are plenty of ways you can assist your photographer in recording unique and personal pictures of your wedding and wedding events.
Real Life: Use your environment. After all, there's a reason you chose to marry where you did. Whether it's by a huge oak tree in your favorite park, or in the courtyard of the fanciest hotel in the city, or in the bustling downtown area where there are great alleys, art, and fountains, the natural environment and the objects around you will create a colorful and wonderful palette. Don't be concerned if the background isn't perfect: just let those kids continue their snowball fight and the trolleys full of tourists come and go. Remember, you're capturing real moments in real life
Ways to Pose: If you've chosen a photojournalistic approach, your photographer and videographer will be attracted to whatever you're doing; they're trying to capture the true spirit of your day, not an artificial pose. For portraits where posing is a necessity, think of ways you can take a formal picture without having your wedding party lined up looking stiff, uncomfortable and unnatural. For example, is your groom an avid golfer? His groomsmen and he might take a picture teeing up at a nearby golf course. By staying true to yourself and the moment and just having fun - leave the work up to those you hired - you'll be sure to capture the essence of life going on around you on your wedding day.
