…good wedding photography advice…

Okay… this isn’t me saying it… it’s MSN’s 10 Wedding Blunder’s to Avoid. #’s 3, 9, and 10 pertain to photo/video, but it’s all good advice…

3. You will regret it if you skip videography.
Photos only take you so far: Videos let you hear your voice tremble as you say your vows and watch your friends tear up the dance floor. With more people documenting your wedding, you’ll see things you may have missed on the day.

9. Don’t even think about speeding through photos.
Speaking of not having enough time, any less than an hour isn’t enough for a portrait session; an hour-and-a-half is closer to ideal because you’ll look more relaxed in your pictures (and those first few never come out as well as you hope). Squeezing photos into the first half-hour of your cocktail hour will make you anything but at ease. If you refuse to see your groom before the ceremony, take pictures separately beforehand so the only shots left to take after the ceremony include both of you.

10. Avoid “hiring” a friend instead of a pro.
Sure, your pal was the king of the mix CD back in the day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll make a great wedding DJ. Same goes for your friend who won’t leave home without her Flip — this doesn’t make her a videographer! Even on a tight budget, you’re much better off paying a vendor with experience to take care of the biggies. Don’t you want your friends to enjoy your wedding instead of having to work through it, anyway?

Be well,
