Friday Fun: Make it About Him Apr 05, 13

Our insides just melted a little at this sweet, affectionate, tender {we could go on} captured moment. Often, the photo sessions will revolve around capturing the bride, the details of her dress, the beautiful arrangement of her bouquet. The groom doesn't get spotlighted a lot if at all, and ends up being a background filler, afterthought and complement. Now, some grooms may prefer it that way, but it still is important to have a few where you're showing him some loving and making it all about him. Don't you agree? He may act like it's no big deal or shrink from it, but don't be deceived, it'll mean more than he'll say.
Friday Fun: Steps to Slim Down Your Vendor List Mar 29, 13
An engaged couple is faced with countless decisions when beginning to plan their wedding: What is the theme? What are the colors? What will the décor entail? Which vendors are going to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams?
Solidifying the right vendors is one of the most important stepping stones to your wedding. If you’ve ever attended a bridal show, you know how overwhelming the sheer number choices for photographers, caterers, venues, wedding planners, bakers, designers, etc. can be. Here are some helpful hints from local expert and events and membership director, Jenna Heilman, of Cypress Club (The Reserve at Lake Travis), to assist you with your vendor selection.
Start with a reputable source
Use your resources, like Texas Wedding Guide, to compile a list of vendors that you are interested in. Don’t be afraid to ask for references; any reputable vendor will be happy to share some of their past clients with you. Then, narrow your list to no more than 3 vendors of each category. You will stress yourself out if you try to meet with every single vendor. More often than not, too many choices can be more damaging than too few.
Ask for a consultation
You need to interview your vendors, just like they need to interview you. Not every vendor is perfect for every bride. Bounce ideas off your vendors, tour the space to discuss the ceremony/reception options and ask for a personalized proposal. No two weddings are alike, so don’t settle for someone else’s template.
Unforced Engagement Photo Poses Mar 27, 13
This photographer had a series of poses with a natural flow for each location, and beautifully captured the light. He really focused on the couple and how they flowed and fit together. Word to the wise: Avoid awkward poses and, at the same time, be bold and have fun in front of the camera.
I unleash my repertoire {to other photographers} and show {them} how to link poses to form a flow of shooting opportunities from each set up. Most of all, on the day it’s about finding and using great light. A lot of these pictures were shot in areas where no obvious picture opportunities exist. Others were shot in places where an abundance of opportunities could confuse and hamper the shoot. As you see, I try to achieve consistency rather than creating a few knockout images.
