The bride is often stereotyped as the sleep-deprived but happy girl who focuses too much on details.

Since the wedding day is something most girls will want to have memories of later on in their lives, it is important that they make sure to take plenty of photos – memorable ones at that. Below are some helpful tips for any bride on the wedding day:The bride is often stereotyped as the sleep-deprived but happy girl who focuses too much on details. There is the occasional bridezilla during weddings that have gone rogue, but in general, most brides spend more time crying than shouting at any one. Since the wedding day is something most girls will want to have memories of later on in their lives, it is important that they make sure to take plenty of photos – memorable ones at that. Below are some helpful tips for any bride on the wedding day:

• Lighting – taking photos is all about lighting. Make sure that the venue is properly lit – both indoors and outdoors. Abundant but soft lighting makes for a fuzzy, warm and romantic atmosphere that suits almost any wedding – you can achieve this outdoors by the use of café lights, and other hanging lighting decorations. Know that your photographer will try his best to adjust lighting, but it is often best to have a ready stage than to create one from scratch during the wedding.

• Your preparations – the bride is the one individual that will need the most time to prepare for the big day. Generally, it is advised to leave a minimum of two hours for preparations, but more is never in excess. There are countless brides who have decided to change looks at the last moment and were it to happen to you, you would be glad to have even half an hour in excess to make some changes. Make sure that the artist first finishes your makeup and hair – you will have time to focus on pre wedding photo Hong Kong whilst the bridesmaids and the groomsmen get ready. 

• Photo-taking and related tips – there are many great wedding photos to take, but generally, the ones that go to physical albums and frames are usually the staged ones (and a few candid photos). Staging takes time, and there are particular times of the day when it is best to take them. The ‘golden hour’ refers to the time just before sunset, which can give a passionate and romantic atmosphere; conversely, the midday hours are perfect for blistering and exhausted-looking photos (and even potential heat stroke in summer) from the heat. 

• Extra precautions – the bride is usually the one who overthinks the situation, and accordingly, it might be wise for you to consider a few extra precautions for when things go awry. The best example of this is the weather – there is no saying that any day will bring perfect weather with a 100% accuracy. Make sure that reception hall has a spare room for group photos in case it rains.
