advance.
If it is a hot day, bring extra fans for the dressing rooms,
so the wedding party can
get ready for the big day comfortably.
Bring safety pins and a small sewing kit for last minute
alterations.

This can be covered with a large bow or something similar.

THE CEREMONY
Candle lighter should stand to the side of the
candle while lighting.
Bridesmaids and bride should pause, before
walking down the aisle so their picture can
be taken.
Maid of Honor should fluff whenever necessary,
especially after the bride kneels.
The Bride and Groom should face each
other or the congregation as much as possible.
Bride and Groom should kiss for at least 3
second to allow time for photo to be taken.
As the Bride and Groom walk down the Aisle
as Mr. & Mrs., they should look up not at
the floor.
Smile!!!

Reasons to have a Pre-Ceremony Photo session
It ensures all members of the wedding party are there for the ceremony.
Bride and Groom are less fatigued.
Make up is fresh (no tears).
Flowers and boutonnieres are fresh and not crushed from hugs.
Reception guests aren't kept waiting while the family is photographed.
Candles are new and pretty.
If there are several pictures to be taken, assigning a "runner" to gather the
key people will prevent long waits.
