Get your hair and makeup on point
You feel amazing and look beautiful, that will naturally reflect in your wedding photos. Hiring a fabulous hair and makeup duo is money well spent for that wedding day buzz.
Share your secrets with your photographers
If there is something you are particularly self-conscious about tell your photographer. Once you’ve let them know, leave them to it and enjoy your day – we’d bet you’ll forget all about it.
Have an enjoyable engagement shoot
Most photographers offer engagement shoots in their package for exactly this reason, to help you feel at ease in front of their camera. During the session you will understand your photographers shooting style and they will get extra insight in to what you love. Your wedding day photos will only thank you!
Forget the camera and relax
Easier said that done, yes, but take a look around, take a deep breath in and out and let your shoulders relax. When you feel relaxed and enjoying yourself, you will naturally look more confident.
Have fun

If you remember to smile, laugh and enjoy your wedding day, your photographer will have an easy job and your confidence and happiness will shine from your photos.
