New York City Weddings – Searching Superior in Wedding Photographs
• Allocate an appropriate budget for your photographer. There will be people that remember the flowers, the music and the food, but your children, grandchildren and great grand children will be looking at the photographs that were taken on that perfect wedding day. Your New York City wedding moments will last forever through the wedding photographs - make sure they are done right and professionally.
• Keep your hairstyle and veil simple. You don't want pieces of your wedding veil to be constantly falling off, and you certainly don't want to push your hair out of your face throughout the day. Simplicity and elegance are key here, especially for windy days or unexpected rainfalls. Want something that's a bit more dramatic? Let your wedding photographer create a long lasting effect for you -- but keep the rest of your perfect New York City wedding unique, but simple and comfortable.
• Be sure to have all the necessary items in your clutch bag or pouch -- just in case. Blotting paper, powder, lipstick and blush are the bare essentials that you should keep on hand for those unexpected or quick moments where you may need them. If you don't have room to carry it, or have your hands full already, well then, that's what bridesmaids are for. Most bridesmaids would consider it an honor to have his responsibility on your perfect wedding day.
• Make sure that your mascara is waterproof. THIS IS A MUST. The last thing you want to do is to leave an impression on your beautiful white wedding dress or wedding gown with black clumpy mascara. Let's not even mention the guaranteed transition from beautiful bride to racoons eyes within a very short couple of minutes.
• Keep your makeup lite. Your makeup should compliment you, rather than a burdensome nuisance that requires constant upkeep and retouching. You will have guests around you the entire day, hugging and kissing and congratulating you on your special New York City wedding day. Don't muck it up by looking all mucked up with makeup. Fresh, lite and youthful - that's the key. It will look better in your wedding photographs too.
• Don't wear sheer lipstick. If you're going to, then instead, wear a matte or semi-matte base and apply the sheer lipstick as a top coat. Blot well, otherwise you are sure to find it on your teeth or as temporary "I was here" marks on all of your guests.
• Don't wear heavy shimmery makeup, unless it's applied by a professional makeup artist. It doesn't photograph well under less than perfect lighting conditions. If you do, apply only on the eyes.
• Be sure to get plenty of photographs immediately after the ceremony. Solo,couple, and group photographs friends and family - remember, these are your memories of your perfect New York City wedding, and they will last a lifetime -- so make them count.
• Black and white photographs have a soft and romantic feel to them - so be sure to request to your wedding photographer for a few of these. You will be happy you did.
