Wedding Photos - Look Your Best
Here is a list of tips that you might want to take into account: * Don't try to save money by getting a cheap wedding photographer. Guests of your wedding probably won't be able to remember that your wedding dress was a designer wedding dress. However years after your wedding day, your great grand children could be looking at your wedding album. * Keep your bridal hair simple otherwise. You'll be walking around, too busy talking to guests to check the mirror. You don't want your gorgeously expensive veil off balance, or your wedding hair stuck to your face. stick with elegant and simple. If you want a dramatic veil for the wedding march and ceremony, look for a style that allows you to detach some of the veil, allowing you to have less restrictions at your wedding reception. * Ensure you have a small matching bag. It should carry blotting paper, pressed powder, lipstick and blusher. Ask your chef bridesmaid to keep it handy for you. * Wear waterproof mascara. You will cry a lot. It's guaranteed. Black mascara will run and leave unflattering raccoon eyes. * Don't wear heavy powder eyeshadow. Again, you will cry. You will also sweat from walking around in heavy makeup, a thick gown, and hundreds of guests milling around you. Powder smears and cakes, and ends up under your eyes. * Don't wear sheer lipstick. You'll eat it off. Or if you do, wear a matte or semi- matte base and apply the sheer lipstick as a top coat. Be sure to blot well, or it'll endup around your mouth or on your teeth. * Don't wear heavy shimmery makeup, unless it's applied by a professional makeupartist. It doesn't photograph well under less than perfect lighting conditions. If you do, apply only on the eyes. * Bridal makeup should be soft and romantic, not harsh. Natural pinks are most flattering, and really make you look like a "blushing bride". Avoid hard-edged contouring and dramatic browns, unless blended well and kept close to the eyeline. Even lipsticks should stick to the pinks and brownish pinks. Bright reds look too harsh worn against a white dress. * You'll need good foundation that lasts long but doesn't cake. The trick is to apply moisturizer first and let it "set". This will prime your skin. Apply a matte or cream foundation, then concealer. Dust powder foundation with a brush. * Take good photographs right after the ceremony, when everyone's make up is still intact. You should have solo shots, couple shots, and group photos with your entourage, friends, family members. * Ask for a few black and white photographs. They always have a soft, romantic feel. * If you'll be having outdoor photographs, light is most flattering in the morning and at dusk. Avoid any outdoor shots from 11am to 2pm; everyone will just be squinting.
