How to feel more photogenic for your wedding photos

Every bride desires to feel glamorous and gorgeous on their wedding day! But equally important is that they want to be photogenic, and get the perfect shot every sing time! Here are some tips on being more photogenic for your bridal portrait sessions and your wedding day:


 

  1. Relaxation! – Need I say no more? Take some time out in mist of all the stressful detail and ongoing list of last minute "to-do" and put your feet up! Put on a chick-flick, grab a bowl of popcorn, and just simply relax! Other ways to relax is a self-given pamper day.
  2. Be adventurous! - Do something that is totally not related to your wedding. Go skating, hiking; take a kick-boxing class, or go-cart racing! Activities like these will take you mind of the pressures of wedding jitters.
  3. Be prepared for the shoot! - Make sure you have all of your undergarments, last minute alterations are complete, your dress is clean and spot-less.. Every bride who prepared for portrait session or their wedding day pictures will think more clearly and be able to handle slip-up easily and thoughtfully. Make sure to have your make-up, jewelry, petticoat, slippers, and more! Everything should be ready to-go the day before.
  4. Think about your Prince Charming!- You are about to embark on the newest chapter in your life as husband and wife. So thinking about to go into the next level with fiancé is the perfect way to get great shots.
  5. Don't panic!- If something goes wrong, simply let it go! The most important thing is that you stay calmed, relaxed, and a natural. Most things are beyond our control but you don't want to look like something went wrong while taking a picture with hubby.

What do Wedding Planners do?

A wedding planner job is never done, most of the time. Being a wedding planner there so many things to be done. Wedding planners make good use of their time your multi-tasking as much as possible.


 

But the beauty of a wedding planner is to be inspired by L-O-V-E and using the couple uniqueness to personalize their wedding. When all is said and done, wedding planners must use creativeness. Our job is to pull something out of couple that make them, them.


 

A wedding planner needs to create an atmosphere… that includes everyone from the wedding party down to your wedding guest. Like a middle man between the bride and groom and their wedding guest.



 

A wedding planner needs to keep the bride with EASE through-out the entire day. As a wedding planner I want your day to be special to you and for the bride should have glow on her face that expresses a genuine admiration of JOY , ZEAL , and HAPPINESS!


Above all a wedding planner has to be able to look over the room, honestly be able to see of the guest are enjoying themselves… What are they doing? What are their expressions? Are they involved? Are they smiling from the inside of their soul?




 

At the end of the night, a wedding planner wears a lot of different hats!


 

Happy Planning,
