Not ready for your close-up? Look no further! Take a few extra measures to ensure you look your very best in your wedding photos. Here are a few tips I've learned and heard from my photographer friends over the years:
- SMILE WITH YOUR EYES. Don't be afraid to practice this in the mirror! It's your wedding day - think of all the great memories you are making!
- ELONGATE YOUR NECK. Lower your shoulders and tilt your chin slightly upward.
- WHITEN YOUR TEETH. This will not only improve your look, but also make you feel more confident in your photos.
- ADD SOME COLOR. Don't forget to wear blush! This is a frequently overlooked piece of information. You don't want to look washed out next to your white dress. Bronzer can also add a nice touch, just be careful not to overdo it.
- KEEP POWDER ON HAND. Ask a bridesmaid or personal attendant to carry your makeup powder in their handbag. Reapply as necessary to avoid looking too shiny. Dab on your forehead, nose and chin.
- KNOW YOUR "GOOD" SIDE. Trust me - we all have one! Practice in the mirror or with selfies to find your better side.
