The very best light is outside, right after dawn. It's the reason models get up at the crack of dawn. I usually do, too, but recently I've gotten lazy - and not a lot of good pictures. If you're a beginner, free lighting is as good as it gets. |

| Visit shutterbug.com and Search for the Interfit EXD200 Kit. It was reviewed in the Oct. 2007 issue of Shutterbug Magazine. You can also visit their web site at interfitphotographic.com to find local dealers. |

| When you buy cheap you buy frustration. I recommend as a low end item the least expensive AlienBee (alienbees.com) the build up as you can afford. I bought two cheap lights once because they were small and good for hair and background lights. When they broke (quite quickly) they could not be repaired and hit the trash. Britek should last 10 - 15 shoots. Not very economical in the long run. Alien Bee is made by Paul C Buff who also makes White Lightning, I have had 5 WL lights for over 20 years and the Alien Bee for about six. The cheapies didn't last a year. |

| Don't forget that continuous lighting is also an option. Some of the new fluorescent type set ups seem to work very well. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
