What is your fool-proof, can't-live-without secret that works for professional wedding photography?

Speak up and tell the photographer what you have in mind, even during the photo session.

Ask the client what they are looking for. Use your smarts - don't shoot up at people on the alter, for example - you wind up with unflattering shots up people's noses.Make sure to take photos other than formals. Formals are nice, but that quiet moment after the ceremony where they look at each other is nicer. You don't say if you're the bride or the photographer - the advice would be better if we knew. Make sure that you look at people before you shoot. It the father of the groom had a big hairy mole on the left side of his face, switch the bride and groom so that side is away from the camera. If you look before you line them up, it's much less embarrassing.

It's no secret: Fast lenses and attention to detail.

Go to the rehearsal so you don't get ambushed on the wedding day. ( You might also get invited to the rehearsal dinner, if so be prepared to take a few shots there.) Also try to get to the church about the time of the wedding so you'll have some idea of the lighting conditions you'll be dealing with.

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.
