Hints for Your Wedding Attendants ...

Your wedding attendants perform a variety of tasks before and on your special day.

So, when choosing your Maid of Honor and Best Man, let them know what responsibilities you would like them to perform.

The following is a flexible guideline to help determine your expectations:

Maid of Honor:

*  helps address invitations
*  organizes the bridal shower
*  organizes the bridesmaids' wedding attire
*  attends the rehearsal
*  helps with the bride dress
*  holds the groom's wedding ring during the ceremony
*  acts as a legal witness by signing the wedding certificate

Best Man:

*  organizes a pre-wedding party
*  helps the groom remember to bring the marriage license to the ceremony
*  holds the bride's ring during the ceremony
*  acts as a legal witness by signing the wedding certificate
*  Gives the first toast to the wedding couple

One of the things we also find helpful is for your photographers (hey! We hope that's us!) to do a walk thru of your venue with you PRIOR to the wedding day itself. Gives us a good idea about where certain parts of the ceremony will take place, the equipment we'll need, photo ideas, etc.

Hope to hear from you soon. We want to be your wedding photographers.

Sending Thank You Notes ...

Sending thank-you notes is an important way to show your appreciation to your guests.
To follow proper etiquette, consider these timelines:

1. Send notes within three weeks for shower gifts; three months for presents given on the wedding day; and within three weeks for gifts received after the wedding.

2. Each gift should receive a separate thank-you note. Don't combine a shower and wedding thank-you.

3. Thank-you notes should be handwritten and should also mention the item and if possible how you will use the gift.

Following the above guidelines when writing your thank-you notes will let your guests know that you appreciate them celebrating this special occasion with you.

Hope to hear from you soon. We want to be your wedding photographers.

Wedding Day Anxiety ...

Even if you are one hundred percent positive that you are about to embark on the future of your dreams, wedding day anxiety can hit you.

Whether it's the thought of all eyes on you as you walk down the aisle or the knowledge that your life is changing, it is natural to feel a little panicked on your wedding day.

So, if you feel anxious on your big day, here are a few techniques to help you calm down:

*  Visualize a successful event. You can practice this technique leading up to the wedding by imagining all the different aspects of the day and completing each task successfully.

*  Exercise. Exercising leading up to the wedding day is an excellent means of centering yourself. For some brides jogging clears their heads, while others may prefer yoga. Whichever suits you, use it to help still your anxious thoughts.

*  Rehearse. Practice the aspects of the day that are causing you stress. If it is walking down the aisle, practice it as many times as necessary to make you feel comfortable. If you are nervous about the first dance, put on your dancing shoes and practice with your fiancee as much as possible before the wedding day.

*  Overall, if you are feeling anxious about the wedding, take a few deep breaths and concentrate on what happens after this stressful day: a wonderful marriage.

On the wedding day, we know how important it is for our brides to relax with the knowledge and confidence that their wedding photos will be done to their liking. And, because we do pre-planning with our couples and provide a FREE engagement photo session, our brides know they will be creating beautiful images they will enjoy for years to come.

The Big Send-Off ...

When the bride and the groom leave the reception, traditionally the guests send them off in a celebratory manner.

Throwing rice at the happy couple as they leave has been the most popular send-off dating back to the Middle Ages when guests would throw wheat as a symbol of fertility. But in recent years, rice has decreased in popularity because of potential harm it can cause birds.

So, if you do not want the guests throwing rice, planning an alternative send-off gives you an opportunity to be creative.

Tossing rose petals has been gaining popularity as a symbol of happiness and beauty. Grass and flower seeds are another popular option.

And, if you'd rather not have something "tossed" at you while you're wearing your formal attire, consider releasing butterflies or doves as you exit. Either option can add a festive element of nature to your wedding day.

A few cautions on your send-off: Keep in mind that weather may hamper your plans and check with your location vendor on their policy.

With all the fun and creative options available, it should be easy to decide how you would like to celebrate as you leave the reception.

Our quality wedding photography will catch the formal and candid moments of the wedding so your wedding day and your guests will be remembered for the rest of your life.

Wedding Attire: Gloves ...

Wearing gloves as part of the wedding ensemble adds a formality to the outfit and, the longer the glove, the more formal the attire.

When you choose if you'll wear gloves and what length of glove, keep the formality of your wedding in mind. The bridesmaid should not be more formally dressed than the bride, so their glove length should be the same or shorter than the bride's gloves.

If you are planning on removing your gloves during the ceremony, practice beforehand so the movement isn't awkward. Take the gloves off and give them to the maid of honor at the same time you hand her the bouquet.

Gloves may be worn throughout the ceremony.

You can choose to make a small slit at the seam on the ring finger to be able to easily put the ring on. Or the ring can be put on over the glove, if it will fit. Also, fingerless glove styles are available.

Whatever style of glove you choose, you'll want to be comfortable throughout the ceremony and reception.

And, you'll want us to create some special images of your ring on your wedding day.

Wedding Attire: Unique Headpieces ...

If you are looking for a headpiece that is a little out of the ordinary, try out these unique alternatives:

*  Profile Comb: An ornamental comb worn with an up do.

*  Garden Hat: A wide brimmed hat that can be worn with our without a veil.

*  Juliet Cap: A small cap that sits on the crown of the head. Can be worn with a veil.

*  Snood: An encasement for a bun worn at the back of the head. Can attach a veil to the bottom.

*  Wreath: Natural materials such as flowers or greenery that wraps around the head.

*  And, if none of these options are what you are looking for, perhaps a more traditional headband or tiara would work best for you.

Blending Religions at a Wedding ...

Planning a wedding ceremony can be complicated. Planning a ceremony where more than one religion is represented can be a nightmare. But it doesn't have to be if you and your fiance are flexible and respectful.

Communication is vital in this situation between you and your fiance as well as with the clergy who will perform your ceremony.

When you choose your clergy, talk to him or her about what you would like from a ceremony. It may be possible to find one officiant who can include elements from both your religions or you may wish to have two officiants, one from each religion.

If you are having two officiants, meet with both at the same time to plan the ceremony. Ask if there are religious requirements that will need to be included in the ceremony as you plan. Including an explanation of those rituals in the program will help your guests understand the meaning.

As your wedding photographers, we'd like to know in advance of the religious elements incorporated into your ceremony as well. That way, we can be prepared to capture all the special moments throughout the ceremony in digital photos that will last a lifetime.

When you call, please be sure and ask for our special report "The Seven Secrets You Must Know When Choosing Your Wedding Photographer!"

*  Juliet sleeves - puff around the upper arm and then are fitted down to the wrist.

*  Poet sleeves - fitted down to the forearm then flare out.

*  Bell sleeves - long, fitted sleeves that flare gently at the wrist.

*  Bishop sleeves - full through the forearm and gather by the wrist at the cuff.

The Wedding Budget ...

OK. OK. You've got the guy. You've got the ring. Now all you need to make your perfect wedding a reality is the budget, right?

We admit -- while not very romantic, setting the budget in the beginning of your planning process can make your wedding day a dream ... and not a financial nightmare.

To determine the budget, you and your fiancee should calculate what you have to spend. Also, both sets of parents should be consulted on whether or not they will be contributing and for how much.

Once you've established how much money you have to spend, determine what amount you would like to spend on each part of the wedding. Spending the time to set a budget at the beginning will save you worrying about finances and you'll be able to focus on that great guy you've got.

Now, remember: when it is all said and done, about the only thing you'll have left to bring back the memories of your special day will be your photos. So, be sure to plan on spending enough to make certain you get the images you'll want.

When you contact us for more information, please be sure and ask for our special report on: "The Seven Secrets You Must Know When Choosing Your Wedding Photographer!" This will save you a lot of headaches later.

Choosing your wedding gown ...

The more knowledge you have about wedding gowns when you go shopping, the easier it will be to pick the perfect dress. Knowing the different terms for hem and train lengths will help narrow down you search considerably.

First, the hem length is the length from the waist to the hem line in front of the gown. Hemline varieties include:

Floor - the hem reaches to the floor. It is the most common style.

Tea - the hem hits mid-calf. Perfect for outdoor, casual weddings.

Intermission - or Midi length. It ends between the knee and mid-calf.

Handkerchief - the hem ends mid-calf. It is made of layered panels that end in a v-point.

Street - the hem reaches to just below the knee.

Mini- the hem ends above the knee. Often includes a removable overskirt.

Second, the train length is measured from the waist to the hem in the back of the gown. Train lengths include:

No train means that the front and the back hem of the gown match, typically they are floor length.

The Chapel length is the most common with the train measuring about 4 feet from the waistline.

The Semi-Cathedral length is about 5 to 6 feet long measuring from the waist to the hem.

The Cathedral length is perfect for a formal wedding with a train of 7 feet measured from the waist.

 This train typically can be bustled or is removable.

The Royal length, also known as the Monarch, is the most formal of all trains and extends 9 feet from the waistline to the hem.

Hosting Out of Town Guests ...

When guests go out of their way to attend your wedding by coming from out of town, show your appreciation to them.

The best way to show your gratitude is to make their travels plans easy and to make them as comfortable as possible.

* First, give your out of town guests an itinerary as soon as possible so they can make travel plans.
The itinerary should include times and locations of events and what to wear.

*  Also, for easy trip planning, send them recommendations for airline and hotel deals as well as car rental information. It may even be helpful to arrange for group rates to cut down costs for your guests.

*  Once your guests have arrived, make them feel welcome with a gift basket including fruit, baked goods, brochures for local activities, an extra itinerary, a listing of local phone numbers, and anything else you feel will make their stay enjoyable and relaxing.

*  Most of all, the bride and groom should express their appreciation for out of town guests by spending time with them.

And when you are ready to choose your wedding photographers, we hope you will think of us. Our quality wedding photography will catch the candid and formal moments of your wedding day so your guests and the time you spent together will be remembered for the rest of your life.

Seating at the Wedding ...

Seating your guests at the ceremony should be trouble-free, if you plan with your ushers in advance.
Traditionally, the ushers ask guest what "side" they are from, the bride's or the groom's and the guests are seated accordingly. But it is not necessary to do this especially if the sides will be uneven.

If you decide to have sides, in a Christian ceremony, the bride's family and friends sit on the left of the church if you are in the back of the church looking forward. And the groom's side is on the right side. In a Jewish ceremony, the seating arrangement is opposite with the bride's side on the right.

The ushers should be instructed to seat elderly guests near the front and guests in wheelchairs or with crutches on the end of a pew.

The immediate family sits in the front rows with the parents on the first row. In case of divorced parents, the parent who primarily raised the bride or groom should be seated on the first row. The other parent should be seated on the third row. If the divorced parents are amicable then they should both sit on the front row. Discuss the seating arrangement beforehand to avoid misunderstandings or hurt feelings.

Also, direct your ushers to bring in the groom's mother second to last, followed by the bride's mother. Their seating should indicate the beginning of the ceremony.

As your wedding photographers, we'll be there to capture all your wedding guests. And now, we offer even more wedding coverage as your wedding videographers. Just ask.

The First Dance ...

You'll want your friends and family to remember your first dance as husband and wife as a romantic and beautiful scene.

So, start planning your dance early in your wedding preparations.

The earlier you start practicing the first dance, the more comfortable you'll be on the dance floor.
If you have the time and money to invest in dance lessons, a professional can teach you some basic dance moves. If resources are tight, try an instructional dance video or DVD.

As you practice, wear clothes that are similar to the ones you will be wearing on the wedding day. The bride should wear heels and the groom should be wearing dress shoes and a sport coat.

Also, be sure and practice with the song you will dance to on your wedding day.

We would like to create images of your first dance together.

Honeymoon on a Budget ...

If your budget cannot stretch to include an extravagant honeymoon, here are a few ideas to help keep the costs more reasonable:

*  Stay in the continental United States. Consider taking a road trip to nearby tourist locations.

*  Stay at a national park. Camping and hiking can be a relaxing honeymoon after all the craziness of the wedding planning. If camping isn't your thing, many national parks have beautiful lodges to stay in for reasonable prices.

*  Register for your honeymoon. Guests can contribute to your honeymoon fund as your wedding gift.

*  Plan your honeymoon in the off-season.

*  Ask if the company offers any special rates you may qualify for such as student, military, or corporate discounts.

*  When you first start planning your wedding include the honeymoon in your budget. This way you'll know exactly how much you have set aside for the honeymoon. If you have any money left over in any other areas of the budget you can include them in your honeymoon savings.

Wherever you go and whatever you spend, enjoy your time together as husband and wife.

Wedding Necklaces ...

Once you've chosen your dress and your veil, choosing the perfect necklace may be a challenge. But we've narrowed down your necklace choices and matched them up with what dress style will work best:

1. A choker is made with either pearls or stones and looks best with a v-neck gown.

2. A princess cut necklace sits in the hollow of the neck and collarbone. It is flattering with a high or square neckline gown.

3. The opera-style necklace is a long strand that falls below the bust and works well with a plunging neckline.

4. The rope length necklace falls just below the waist. Often it is worn draped down a bare back with a backless gown.

We'd like to make choosing your wedding photographer just as easy. Hope to hear from you soon.

Boutonnieres ...

Knowing who should receive boutonnieres and how they are traditionally designed will make meeting with the florist to plan the flowers uncomplicated.

Here are some ideas to help:

*  The groom's boutonniere is a worn above his heart and typically includes at least one of the flowers from the bride's bouquet.

*  The groomsmen's boutonnieres should compliment the bridesmaids' bouquets but don't need to match exactly. If they contain one of the same flowers or are in the same color palate, they will coordinate.

*  Boutonnieres should be given to the fathers and grandfathers of the bride and groom. They should also be given to any special males the bride and groom wish to honor.

Simple and Tasteful Wedding Corsages ...

When you're planning your wedding flowers, don't overlook ordering corsages for important family members.

Often, corsages are given to the mothers of the bride and groom as well as to the grandmothers of both.

Corsages are also a wonderful way to show someone they are special to you and they may be given to anyone you would like to honor.

The flowers in the corsages do not have to match the wedding flowers and can be matched to each individual's outfit. The corsage flowers can also be a flower that is included in the bride's bouquet.

Ask you family members who will receive a corsage if they would prefer a pinned corsage or one that can be worn on the wrist.

Simple and tasteful corsages will mark your special guests with distinction.

Now, if you have a special guest, please let us know and we'll be sure to get a picture of you with them on your wedding day. As your wedding photographers, we like to work with the bride and groom beforehand so we know exactly what pictures you will want.

Wedding Guest Attire ...

When you're a wedding guest, deciding on the proper attire for the event is easy when you take clues from the invitation.

Generally, if the invite is formal the attire should also be formal. Some brides and grooms make it easy on their guests by stating that the event is casual or black tie. For those invites that aren't as specific, a few guidelines:

*  If the location is outdoors, dress is casual. For a woman, a skirt and blouse or floral dress is appropriate. For a man, a linen suit in a light color for a spring or summer wedding. Or, if the weather is colder, a man may wear dark dress pants, matching sweater, tie, and blazer.

*  If the occasion is indoors with a sit down reception, a woman should wear a formal dress. A man should wear a suit.

*  For a black-tie evening indoor wedding, the dress is formal. A man should be in a tuxedo and a woman should wear a ball gown.

Choosing what to wear to a wedding should be easy for the guest. The invitation should be straightforward. You won't want your guests to feel uncomfortable by being under- or over- dressed.

As you plan your invitations, if you would like a photo to accompany your invitation - we'll be happy to provide just what you need. We like to do a pre-wedding engagement photo session which includes a large, matted and framed print. These digital images are yours FREE if you schedule your wedding coverage with us.

Hope to hear from you soon. We want to be your wedding photographers.

Bridesmaids' Dress Styles ...

When you asked your closest friends to stand up with you as your bridal attendants, the first thing they probably thought was how happy they are for you, the bride.

The second thing they thought was probably, "What am I going to have to wear?"

An easy way to make sure all your bridesmaids look their best is to choose the color and then let your bridesmaids pick their own dresses.

If you prefer a more streamlined look for your line, here is a breakdown of dress styles you may wish to choose from:

*  A-Line: Vertical seams run from shoulders to a flared skirt. Flatters most body types.

*  Empire: The waistline is directly under the bust and flows straight down.

*  Ball Gown: A fitted bodice and waist flairs into a fill skirt.

*  Sheath: Form fitting with a narrow skirt.

Picking bridesmaid dresses that suit your attendants takes a lot of patience and understanding. While the bride should have the final say, be considerate of the bridesmaids' body types, coloring, and budgets.

The Groom's Ring ...

A man's wedding ring symbolizes his devotion to his wife. So, the ring's fit should be as comfortable as that dedication.

Since many men are not used to wearing a ring, finding a ring that will fit and be comfortable for daily wear can be a challenge.

Ask your jeweler for a ring that has a "comfort fit" where the edges are rounded and smooth so the ring won't pinch or scratch.

Another thing to consider when purchasing the man's wedding band is the metal. Gold and white gold are popular choices. They are a lighter metal so they may be a more comfortable fit.

Platinum is gaining popularity. Since it is heavier than gold it is more expensive. This also makes it more durable. The added weight of platinum, however, may make it less comfortable than gold.

Other options include stainless steel, titanium, sterling silver, and copper. Since men's wedding bands tend to be wide, combining two metals can add an attractive contrast.

At your wedding reception, we'll be sure and capture an image of his ring along with yours.
