Creative First Looks

Do you plan on seeing your husband-to-be or bride-to-be before the ceremony? This gives more time for visiting with your guests afterwards, if you get some of your wedding photos done beforehand. However, why not get creative with how you first see each other? Many brides are now doing creative first looks. Need some ideas? Wedding and Party Network has a few ideas that will make for a memorable first look.

First Look
Behind Closed Doors – There are many ways to use a door as a prop for your first look photos. You can either use a single door or a door at a location. If you use a single door, let your wedding photographer get creative. Some brides have just placed a single door in the middle of a field or somewhere around their wedding venue. However, you can also use the door to your bridal suite. Whatever works best. Once you found a location, the bride and groom stand on opposite sides of the door. Take photos of you holding hands, leaning up against the door, or even ready notes from each other. Once you're ready, the groom can open the door or you both can peek out. Either way is great and makes for some memorable photographs.

Blindfolded – Be sure to find a great blindfold for these pictures. Have you groom be blindfolded near the alter or wherever you would like. Then, you can sneak up on him from behind. Make silly faces, kiss, or whatever you like. Remember, he can't see you. Once you're ready, untie the blindfold.

Balloons – This makes for extremely adorable photographs. You and your groom each hold a bouquet of balloons. Make sure there's enough where he won't see you if peeking through the balloons. Walk towards each other. Once you get close enough, release the balloons. Such a cute idea!

The Traditionalist – If you want to do a creative first look, but keep it traditional. Consider having you groom stand at the alter or a spot of your preference and walk up behind him. This makes for great photos. Your wedding photographer can capture his face with you in the background. Once you reach your groom, tap him on the shoulder. Again, a great photo to have for your wedding album.

Get creative with your first looks, they make for unforgettable and ever-lasting wedding photos.

Wedding Photos Tell Your Story – Choose the Right Photographer

When planning a wedding, you want it to be everything that you've ever wanted and more. One thing that is truly important to you is your wedding photos. These will last a lifetime. Looking back on your photos will tell your wedding day story. So, choosing the right wedding photographer is a must. Wedding and Party Network has a few tips on how to choose the right photographer that fits your wedding style and will help in creating ever-lasting memories through your photographs.

Black & White Wedding Portrait
Many factors actually factor in when choosing a wedding photographer like:

  • Do you like their wedding photography style?
  • Does this wedding photographer fit within your budget?
  • Are they available for my wedding date?

However, one question that is a must for working with any photographer or vendor is, Do we mesh well together?. It's important that you set up a meeting with your wedding photographer right off the bat. You can easily communicate through email, but can you really get to know someone through email? Meeting with your vendors face to face lets you actually talk to them and put a face with their name.

You will be spending a lot of time with your photographer. From your first meeting, setting up your engagement session, to corresponding before and after your big day, you talk with your photographer a lot. Make sure you "click" with your photographer and you trust them 100%.

Imagine not trusting your photographer. You'll be getting ready with them closely before you walk down the aisle, they'll tell you how to pose, and you must be comfortable enough to just pick up the phone to call or text them with any concerns or questions you may have. Trust your gut feeling when choosing a photographer. They're a very important part to your big day and you need to have 110% faith within them.

Tips For Your Engagement Pictures

One of the first steps you take when planning your wedding is taking engagement pictures. These are used for so many different things throughout the wedding process. They are fun to take and a great starting off point for the wedding. When planning your engagement pictures, you want them to show off your personality and style, especially since they are used for save the dates, bridal showers and displayed throughout your wedding reception. So, Wedding and Party Network are bringing you some themes and tips for your engagement pictures.

Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer

Stunning Engagement Portrait
Every wedding or engagement photographer has their own signature style. Not everyone takes pictures the exact same way, so it's important to take a look at their previous clients to see if that's what you are wanting for your photos. You also want to be comfortable with your engagement photographer since you are going to be working with them closely for a few hours and even your wedding. Someone who will listen, gives good directions and will offer great ideas and tips. Research is key when searching for an engagement photographer.

Pick Out A Few Photo Themes

Once you have chosen your engagement photographer, decide where, when and themes that you want for your photos. Either choose outdoor, indoor locations or a special place this is meaningful to you. There are so many unique places to choose from, so find out that fits you. Also, choose a season. Fall, winter, spring or summer offer different pros and cons. Pick the season that is best suited for your time frame and style.  Also, find fun themes that incorporate your love of something into your photos. This definitely shows off your fun personality. Here are some examples:

  • Movie Inspired
  • Classic/Vintage
  • Adventure Inspired
  • Super Heroes

What To Wear

Here comes to important part for the bride. What do you wear? You don't want to regret your outfit later. Make sure and pick outfits that you won't regret wearing later on. Keep it classic, yet to your style. Also, keep in mind neutral colors. You should do an engagement portrait that is fun and also do one that is classic that will never go out of style.

How To Pose

Along with any type of picture are poses. Not everyone is a natural at posing or knows how to do so. The best way to figure out what you want to do is to research and trust in your engagement photographer.

Unique Engagement Shot
Search different wedding blogs or check out your friend's engagement pictures to see what you like and what you don't like. Also, rely on your photographer for great suggestions. They know what angles look good.

Don't Forget The Props

Engagement photos are all about bringing out your personality. So, make sure you bring props with you to achieve that. If you're going with a themed engagement shoot, don't forget the props that go with it.

A vintage inspired engagement shoot isn't complete without vintage inspired luggage or a lace umbrella and a movie inspired photo shoot isn't complete without popcorn.

Engagement portraits are the time to show off your personality and have fun. You'll use these for for everything and cherish them for a lifetime.
