Naturally all brides want to look their best on their wedding day. A professional photographer should know all the tricks of the trade to make you - and let's not forget your new husband! - look great in the wedding photos. Your wedding photographer should make the most of your wedding dress by taking both full length shots and close-ups to capture and decorative details such as pearls and lace details.
Lighting is of course key in the photographs and the time of day of your wedding will have a major influence here. Photos taken in bright noon sun can be harsh with un-flattering shadows. A bleached out wedding dress won't look its best so it's better to wait for an overcast moment or to use an area in shade.
You will of course need to smile for many hours and this can become very tiring! A little trick is to tilt your face at a slight angle making it appear slimmer in your wedding photographs - take a tip from the stars!
In deciding your wedding make-up it's a good idea to aim simply for a more polished version of your everyday look which will then look very natural. Choosing anything too radical may mean your pictures look dated in a few years time. It's certainly worth paying for a professional make-up artist and this of course is part of the pampering experience. A professional will be skilled and experienced at making the most of your features whilst maintaining a natural look. I'd recommend that you have a trial run before the day to balance that more glamorous version of your everyday look.
A few more top tips to ensure you look the very best in your wedding photographs -
Wear waterproof mascara! Weddings can be very emotional and the last thing you want is to have to start reapplying your make up whenever you shed a tear or two!
Pinky-brown lipsticks will brighten teeth while orange and red tones will make them look discoloured against your dress.
Treat yourself to a professional manicure as your hands will be the focus of a some photographs such as signing the register, cutting the cake and close up pictures of your rings.
Finally and most importantly - relax and enjoy your day! If you're enjoying yourself this will really show in the photographs and those smiles will look all the more natural
