Wedding photographers are some of the most important individuals in any wedding's activities. The expertise of knowing when and where to capture the most meaningful memories is invaluable. As you look back at your photos, you will see parts of the event that you were not aware of at the time. It is impossible for the bride and groom to see everything that is happening on the wedding day and great pictures will help them complete the experience, for years to come.

It is futile effort to keep the smaller members of the wedding party in place and still during the ceremony and for picture taking. A trick that is very successful is to tape a coin such as a half dollar or silver dollar to the floor where they are to stand. Let them know that when the ceremony or pictures are finished, they may keep the money if they act appropriately.

Looking Good for Wedding Photographers

While the center of attention is the bride and groom, remember that all of the wedding party is going to be in the pictures. For this reason, you want everyone to look as good as possible. When choosing the bridesmaids' dresses, consider the body size and shape of each. Choose a dress style that will accent the beauty of each. You want them to feel like they look great.

As far as the number of attendants, today's etiquette says that anything goes. Traditionally, there were up to three attendants in informal weddings, six in semi-formal, and as many as 12 in formal weddings. Society in general is much more relaxed than it used to be about the rules of etiquette. The number of attendants is dictated more by the budget of the wedding rather than the style.
