Tips for creating the perfect wedding photos:
For the Best Wedding Images at your wedding ~ A How To!!!
One of the biggest sources of stress for every bride- to- be is how they will look in their
pictures; however, by following the guidance outlined in a new book called “The Art of a
Wedding” by Cherie Steinberg and Hedley Jones, every woman can look their best in their wedding pictures.
The book, published in 2014, is an essential resource for every bride, and this article shares some vital tips from the new publication to help you get the best possible pictures on the big day.
Find the Best Photographer
As Cherie and Hedley make clear, far too many people skimp when it comes to choosing a
photographer. They either ask family and friends, or they might choose to go with an amateur
photographer that advertises locally, and while the photographs might well be adequate, they
often won’t be exceptional. The best advice is to find a professional photographer and start
looking for them as soon as possible.
A professional photographer will understand about staging, lighting and the most flattering
angles; it is worth the additional investment so that you can be sure that you’ll get the best
photographs possible.
Practice posing
Another valuable tip you’ll find in the book “The Art of a Wedding” by Cherie Steinberg and Hedley Jones
is to practice posing for photographs. Posing for pictures isn’t something that most people feel comfortable
doing, so practicing can make you feel more at ease and enable you to find the most flattering
angles. Moreover, the more relaxed you look in front of the camera, the better you’ll look in
the picture.
Finding the right time and location
Timing is everything when it comes to finding the right location for your wedding photographs.
As Cherie and Hedley explain, where and when you have the photographs taken can make a
huge difference into the quality of the pictures. For instance, pictures that are taken in the
strong summer sun can often be far too harsh and the result will be an unflattering image.
However, as the light starts to fade, the photographs will be much more flattering, and the
shadows that form at sunset can help to create a dramatic backdrop.
Find a great makeup artist
Some people don’t want the added expense of a makeup artist, but a wedding is one of the
most special days of our lives, so you can’t afford not to have this luxury. In “The art of a
Wedding” Cherie advises that a bride finds a highly trained, qualified
make-up artist that knows how to make them look their best so that they look picture-
perfect for their wedding photo shoot.
These three tips are just a fraction of nearly 150 tips collected by the team at CherieFoto for brides to get the best and most memorable wedding photographs.

Charlotte Eddington - Finding the right time of the day, or the right location, is a key element to getting the perfect picture. Your comment about the lighting being too harsh in the summertime is so true. Usually dusk and dawn are the best times to take pictures, because there aren't heavy and harsh shadows. Thanks for sharing your comments.
