1. When getting your hair done, make sure you wear a button down shirt.  I’ve seen a few brides have to cut the t-shirt right off their back so as not to mess with your hair.

2. Don’t chew gum.  It doesn’t look good on camera.

3. Turn down the radio during bridal prep.  Although is awesome to have your favorite music playing in the background, it can make it hard to hear a powerful piece of dialog that we could use to help tell the story of the day.

4. At Bridal prep have the hair and make up artist set up in front of a window. The more natural the light the better for your film.  Not to mention, you’ll get a true feel of how your makeup looks outside.  Try to avoid a basement location for prep.

5. Do a first look.  The superstition of “not seeing each other” before the wedding is so OLD School.  A first look is practical.  You have the first look, then take your pictures BEFORE the ceremony.   This way frees you up for the cocktail hour and your not under stress to hurry an get your photos done in that little window between the ceremony and reception.  The first look  can also render some tender and emotional moments for your film.

6. When saying your vows, look at each other, consider what you are saying and savor the moment.

7. Make sure everyone in the wedding party knows we’re coming.  Let them know to act natural, as if we’re not even there.  Letting the day unfold as it happens is best.

8. Stay together during the day.  Have fun. If you have fun at your own party everyone else will, too! Don’t sweat the small stuff at your wedding reception. All too often, brides become upset over just one song they might not particularly like and then not even realize that the dance floor is packed. Trust your DJ, smile, take pictures, kiss your new partner, and enjoy the best day of your life.
9. 
   Think about exchanging a card or gift while the both of you get ready.  This is a lovely touch that brings out emotion and joy of the day.  Not to mention a great piece for the film that you'll cherish forever.
10. Don't eat onions or garlic at your rehersal dinner, you will be talking to all your guests on your wedding day! :)
