The Garter/Bouquet is always fun. You never know what's going to happen!

Dancin' Shoes! It's always a good idea for the bride to bring comfortable shoes to the reception, especially if the wedding day shoes are new!

Getting the feet right is imperative when photographing the bride and groom walking!

Pro Tip: Please make sure your wedding photographer has backup equipment! Your photographer should have more than one camera, lens, flash, etc. just in case something happens to the primary camera, the photography can continue. If it can go wrong, it often will! Don't let this happen to you!

Details! Details! Details! - I love window light and use it whenever I can. I love the interplay between the shadow and light.

For instance, I get to practice my macro skills!

The bride and girls getting ready is always a fun and relaxed (unless she is running late!) time and a chance for me to be creative!

In other words, if you can't give me at least an hour and a half between the ceremony and reception, I highly recommend that you do as many of the photos as possible before the ceremony. (Timacuan Country Club)

In addition to photographing you, the bride and your bridesmaids, the guys and the group shots of the extended families and the wedding party, I also have to photograph the setup for you and the venue which takes at least 15 mintues. It takes at least 30 minutes to photograph the "bread and butter" shots and then 15-20 minutes to photograph the bride, groom and wedding party and the romantics of the bridal couple alone! This takes at least and hour and that's if everything goes according to plan. (It doesn't take into account weather, mom and dad are late because of traffic and not being able to find uncle Fred because he is on the other side of the building taking a cell call or smoking a cigarette.

Your emotions will be highest before the ceremony and will wane after it. Your makeup, hair, dress, flowers and YOU will look the BEST before the ceremony. After that, the flowers will start to wilt and so will you. The dress will get dirty, especially if it is touching the floor. Your makeup and hair will start to fall, especially if the weather is hot and or rainy. Your feet will start to hurt and you will want to change into more comfortable shoes. The earlier in the day you get the photos done the better they will look! (DeBary Golf and Country Club)

The more time you give me, the more creative I can be, especially before the ceremony and not squished in between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the reception. (DeBary Golf and Country Club)
