Wedding Photography - Tips for the Bride and Groom

I understand that a wedding is a celebration. Most celebrations involve a certain about of inebriation, that is accepted practice. As much fun as it might be to see the best man deliver a slightly drunk, tear filled speech about how you two are perfect for each other, it can cause a nightmare for your photographer.Many wedding start out with a drink while getting ready, drinks on the way to the photo shoot locations, drinks before dinner, drinks at dinner and pretty much drinks all day. Something you need to pay attention to is how many drinks your wedding party, or anyone else you want portraits of, has had. One drink to relax while getting ready will likely not effect your end results. Drunk people are hard to pose in photos, they don't want to listen and think everything is a joke.Later in the evening when people are having fun, candid photos of your drunk buddies are okay. However for the really posed beautiful photos that you have researched and want, I would lay off the booze in the early day.
