    Introduction

    Have you ever gone to a wedding as a photographer or a wedding guest and thought, Wow, that is so strange! Why would they put the ceremony in that spot? or Wow, they put the tables in such a weird way in the room... The purpose of this book is to help you not make mistakes on your wedding day.

    While no wedding goes perfectly according to plan, this book will help you see, understand and think about things that you would never have thought of before… And why would you? It is not your business to plan parties or events...

    Since I have been attending and photographing weddings for over 13 years now, each time I came home from attending or photographing a wedding, I would put suggestions in a little box, knowing that one day I would be giving all this information to my Brides.

    As an award-winning photographer, my entire being is about making award-winning images – not just for myself but also for my clients. Over the past 13 years, I have seen so many things (both good and bad). Planning could have made the difference between an average photograph and a magical, amazing image. Isn’t that what your Wedding Day is all about? Who wants average? As the photographer, ‘exceptional’ is what I live for, as do the Bride and Groom. This book is primarily for the Bride and Groom to direct the visual artistry of their Wedding Day, or at least to provide the tools as you consider photographers you may want to work with.

    Of course, I have also written the book for all the Wedding photographers who want to make award-winning images for their clients. I truly hope you find the information in this book to be of benefit to you. It is intended as a gift to you, the Bride. I hope my years of experience make things better and easier for you. Years after your wedding, as you enjoy your wall portraits and albums with your husband, you can remember the moment and experience the love between you – and not get distracted by the less than outstanding details in the photograph…Your wedding photographs will become a family heirloom and part of your legacy. You will be able to cherish your images for a lifetime.

    You might find one or two tips repeat, that is intentional; those concepts are so important, that I might state them in slightly different ways, so if they are not clear in the context of one chapter, they may be clear in another.

    I wish you a lifetime of happiness. Let it begin with great wedding pictures.
