Question What's the most important thing about wedding photos at the beach?
Answer Your Hair!!! To ensure quality photos, both you and the groom must have your hair completely under control. Those cute little tendrils that hairdressers love or long flowing locks that enhance your femininity will be up your nose the minute the wind blows. Take your groom out in the wind before the wedding day. See what happens to his hair when the wind blows it backward. He'll wear hair gel for one day, when he sees how it will help.
Question What about my veil?
Answer Ask yourself if you really need one. Make sure it's firmly attached to your head. If you have a seamstress, have her sew some weight into the bottom. During the ceremony, the groom can often hold your veil down. If it's blowing around, we can take it off after the ceremony.

 

Question Does a Unity Candle make for great pictures?
Answer Not outdoors! Use the sand mixing ceremony instead. It can be very picturesque.
Question We don't want to wear traditional wedding garb. Is it ok to get married in bathing suits?
Answer Of course it is. I hope you've been working out.
Question I have 3 mothers and 2 fathers at the wedding, and the groom will have 3 fathers and 2 mothers.
Answer Not to worry... at the large weddings we shoot every conceivable combination of relatives with you, so nobody can complain. Just warn the groom to be patient. His duties are few, but important.
Question I'm fat.
Answer Sorry honey, you look like you look, and so do I. We do use slimming and concealing poses, when possible. And, some of my most appealing and lovely brides have been heavy. Your beauty grows from inside and it shows in the camera.
Question I'm a petite blond, less than 5 feet, and I'm marrying the center from an NBA playoff team, any ideas?
Answer Will he mind getting married on his knees? OK, just let me know in advance if there's a special issue to deal with, I've been doing this for years.
