Photo Prep For The Big Day

Wedding Tip Of The Week

After your big day is complete, your wedding photos are the lasting images that you will have forever. Every bride has her own vision on how she wants her photos to look and what style they should be, which can cause a lot of stress. 

Event Kings Director of Media, Pat O’Brien, has two tips for today’s brides. The first is to do some research. Take a little time, sit at the computer and flip through Google and Pinterest to find some inspiration for the different photos that fit your style. Start a Pinterest board just for photos you like- once you’ve done your investigation, you can translate this into a shot list of your must haves, or if your photographer is media trendy- even share your board with them. 

Pat’s second tip is to trust your professional. “They know what is and isn’t going to look good. They also understand their camera and the lighting of the area you are shooting in. We want to get our clients input, but we also want them to trust our experience.”

So do a little exploration, trust your photographer and enjoy taking the photos on your big day! If you’re happy in the moment, it will definitely shine through in your photos.

5 Ways To Stay Calm On Your Big Day

Wedding Tip Of The Week 

After planning many weddings, we have seen a great deal of emotions, especially the morning of the big day. Every bride has her own way of dealing with stress, whether it is crying, drinking, etc. From all of our experience, we have come up with five helpful tips to keep calm that morning.

1. Be In The Moment

There is going to be a lot that is going on around you. Try not to get wrapped up in the little things, and enjoy the day. It is very easy to loose sight of of the meaning that you are here, but try and appreciate the little moment, like opening up a gift from your future spouse.

2. Limit Your Cocktails

I cannot stress this enough! It is easy to drink a few too many, especially when your nervous. Stick to one or two drinks and drink something light. Champagne is your best friend because it is light and doesn’t have a lot of sugar. I would strongly urge no liquor or drinks with a lot of sugar.

3. Limit The Amount Of People In The Room

Everyone is going to want to see you get into your dress. It is easy to keep saying yes to your friends and family spending time with you the morning of. It can also get very crazy with everyone’s opinions and input. Limit yourself your parents, grandparents, and the bridal party so you don’t get too stressed the morning of your wedding, and you are spending time with people who are very close to you.

  4. Eat A Well Balanced Meal

THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT! Don’t let your day go by without eating something that will fill you for a big portion of your day. No one needs a bride passing out at the ceremony.

5. Be Concerned About Your Self

This might be the most important thing that brides tend to forget. It is YOU AND YOUR FUTURE SPOUSES big day, not anyone else’s. Take a moment for the two of you to do a first look or just spend a little time together before the day is done.

With the amount of smart phone at weddings, everyone is bound to take pictures of the bride and groom that day. But how can the couple get their hands on all of those pictures?

One of the most common places that pictures are posted to is Instagram, where everyone can see them. Posting to Instagram is an easy and convenient place to have them, but searching for all of those pictures can be a pain. Creating a hashtag for guests to use will put all of your pictures in one place for you to find after the wedding.

Your wedding hashtag can become a fun part of the wedding, and can even be incorporated into your décor!
