Brides pay top dollar for their wedding photographer. That is no surprise -- who doesn't want a great album of memories? I'm always surprised, however, when a bride is completely camera shy on her wedding day or isn't sure how to interact with the camera. Here are a few of my tips to help you take great pictures...
1. Ever notice how celebrities stand on the red carpet?

See how all these women find a way to bend their arms a bit? This provides the illusion of having a skinnier waist. Now, you don't have to be quite so dramatic about bending your elbow, but do be aware of where your arms are during your wedding day photos.
2. Where is my head?

Beyonce shows us a perfect example of how celebrities often tilt their heads. Did you ever notice how they frequently will move so their pictures are not shot from straight on? And, look at how her chin is slightly tilted downward. You may want to practice this in front of a mirror so you don't look quite as "pop star-ish" but definitely try it out!
3. I have to pose with flowers, too?
The key to a good bridal party shot is to make sure you and your bridesmaids aren't holding the flowers up too high. Instead, hold the bouquet at arms length -- but, remember, with a little bend. Keep this in mind not only when posing for pictures but also when walking down the aisle.
Definitely ask your photographer for any other tips s/he may have.
Let me know if you can think of any other good tips!
