Some brides absolutely love being in front of the camera. Others are a little camera shy and they aren’t really used to the attention. That’s perfectly ok!

So how do you fix that? Easy! When you hire your photographer, use him or her for the engagement pictures too. That way, you can try different looks and poses with less pressure to get the “perfect” shot. This also gives you a chance to get to know your photographer and his or her shooting style.

Once the day of your wedding arrives, you’ll know what to expect from your photographer, which angles work and which ones don’t, and you’ll be a lot more comfortable. We don’t want you to feel awkward on your wedding day!

How did you deal with being camera shy at your wedding? Leave a comment and let us know. Hey, it may even help other brides out there!

Happy Planning!

Receptions differ depending on the time of day they are held. Early afternoon receptions typically feature light lunch or brunch food, middle afternoon receptions have smaller munchies like canapes, fruit, cheeses, and various other light appetizers, and later receptions can have full scale dinners or heavy h’or dourves.

Deciding to have a reception of any style other than a seated brunch or dinner heavy hors d’oeuvres can really save you big bucks. Consider that you’ll only need seating for about 70% of your guests. That means you won’t need as many tables, chairs, linens, or centerpieces. This can cut down on costs and save you hundreds of not thousands of dollars, and you can apply those savings to another aspect of your wedding or event.

Have a great weekend!
