Your pre-wedding photos and the ones that are to come afterwards will be an easy breeze both for you as a couple and the photographer as well.

2. Toss It in the Air!

Don't we all love some drama? Especially in our photographs? We sure do! Floral petals, sparkle or perhaps confetti? For that group shot with your bridesmaids, how about you toss these in the air and have your photographer catch this candid moment as you do so. These pictures will radiate an efflorescent bliss, jubilation and become one of a kind in your treasure trove of memories.

The love on your face at that moment is a moment of pure joy and ecstasy which deserves to get captured.
