ABETTERDJ

Hi everyone, I am Michael with A BETTER DJ AND PHOTOGRAPHER. We are nationwide and do 7-20 weddings a week. My tips for the bride have to do with the before the ceremony photos: Schedule your photographer about 30 minutes before your ceremony start time. Designate someone to straighten up the room before the photographer arrives. Remember all those store bags, clothes, etc laying around the room will be in the background of your photos. Tell all of your bridesmaids to be ready before the shoot, this shoot is about you, and also your girls helping you get ready. If the sun is blasting in the window close the drapes unless you want some silhouette photos. Have your parents arrive a few minutes before the ceremony to get some shots with them. Great shots to get: Your hands in the air and your face popping out as your girls pulling your dress down. Put a towel over your head to start so you don't mess up your hair and makeup. One of your girls lacing your dress. Your girls putting your veil on. Your girls touching up (or pretending) your makeup One of your girls pulling up your garter. One of your girls putting your shoes on. Shots from being you while you are looking in the mirror. Silhouette shot of you looking out the window Be sure to designate one of your girls to answer your phone and someone else to be at your reception venue to handle the vendors you hired. If you hired an independent DJ be sure to have a back-up on standby just in case and have his number in your phone.
