Invest in a good makeup artist. Your bridal makeup should look natural but it’s safe to go a little darker than you usually would, it translates much better on camera and your bridal portraits will look incredible.

8. Keep your Head Up while walking down the aisle. You may be nervous, but keep your head up, even if you don’t smile. A thoughtful or content look is way better than only the top of your heads.

9. Remember to ensure to have enough Photographers – if you would like yourself and your soon-to-be to both be photographed getting ready, one photographer just can’t be in two places at once so assure that your package includes a second shooter.

10. Take a Breath! Don’t be too focused on having The Perfect photos taken, that’s the photographers’ job! If you spend your entire wedding looking for the camera, the photographer won’t get the chance to capture those special, unforgettable moments of yourself and your new partner in crime.
