After the cake's been eaten, the tuxes returned, the flowers wilted, and you've shaken the last grains of sand off from the honeymoon, what's left of the wedding? Those treasured glimpses captured in photographs can in a moment rekindle the joy for both of you<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Selecting a photographer: Find a photographer with whose style you feel comfortable. A contract reserves the date and should confirm that the estimate given will be the total cost, excluding extra prints or specialty photographs ordered. Within this section you will find many photographers; compare the information listed, and make sure they meet your needs. The prices vary from one photographer to another; make sure you understand what the "package price" includes and what the extras are.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Consulting with your photographer: When you finally select your photographer, sit down together so you can communicate what you imagine your pictures to be. Be specific about formal and candid photographs. Be sure you let the photographer know what you expect. Ask if she or he can provide a checklist for you to fill out.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Digital vs. Film: Digital cameras have come a long way in a short period of time. Some of the new cameras are turning out incredible photos! However, as you meet with different photographers you will find that many offer the option of digital or 35-mm film and medium-format film or a mix of both. Sit down with your photographer and determine where their comfort zone is (film or digital) and what will work best for your particular needs.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Assigning a photographer's helper: You should submit a list of photographic requests to both the photographer and the helper so that your helper can guide the right people to the photographer.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Formal portraits before the ceremony? Today, more brides and grooms are deciding to have formal portraits taken before the ceremony to maximize time with their guests. If you do choose to have formals done before the ceremony, make sure to have everyone dressed and ready for pictures at the designated time.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Black and white photos: Traditional formal wedding photography can have a new and exciting look, such as the photojournalist style, a more candid documentation of the day. Black and whites are timeless and classic, and handpainting will make the photos an original piece of artwork you will be proud to display.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Storing your photos: Store your wedding photos in a safe place; it is recommended that you keep them in the box provided with the wedding album. If you ordered the photos without an album, make sure you put them in an album soon after receiving them. Be sure you use "acid free" paper to mount your photos on. This will help ensure they last a lifetime. Always keep them someplace dry.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Crucial Questions to ask your Photographer:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How many weddings have you photographed and do you have references?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What is your wedding day schedule?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you have your own lighting equipment?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What special techniques can you provide?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you shoot digital or film?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What are my album choices?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you have an assistant?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you take a break?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What do you wear?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In case of emergency, do you have a backup photographer?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Does she or he speaks perfect english?<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4812050506739979707-7999203095043591503?l=landaweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Land A Weddingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812050506739979707.post-23882162559356137842009-12-21T01:46:00.001-08:002010-01-05T15:09:31.928-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bMyYFWrp1Rg/S0F0KBiU3ZI/AAAAAAAAAAU/J_z_uJvut0c/s1600-h/XF5I0808.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422743141890710930" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bMyYFWrp1Rg/S0F0KBiU3ZI/AAAAAAAAAAU/J_z_uJvut0c/s320/XF5I0808.jpg" style="float: left; height: 320px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; width: 234px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Welcome To L And A Weddings<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We hope you will enjoy visiting our blog that is packed with useful information. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">GET INSPIRED! HOT COLORS FOR WEDDINGS IN 2010</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How to create your own color board: The idea behind a color board is to gather the items that inspire you and catch your eye and place them in one place so you can start the design process of your wedding. Whether you are hiring a wedding planner or are designing your wedding on your own, a color inspiration board is the key to starting the planning process. Grab a bulletin board, scrapbook, notebook or use an empty wall in your house. Clip magazine images and carry a camera with you to snap images of anything that catches your eye. Start organzing your clips on your board and before you know it, you'll have created an entire personalzied theme for your wedding. If you need help getting started, use our weekly Color Boards to spark your creativity and be sure to check out the hot color trends of 2009 to the right.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2010 Hot Spring Wedding Color: Capri<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this color board:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Capri Blue, Lucite Green, Palace Blue, Slate Grey<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SPOTLIGHT INSPIRATION!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why peacock is a great color inspiration for a spring wedding: There is no doubt, our country is going through some pretty extreme economical instability. So what happens to color and fashion when the economy is unstable? They get bold and vibrant. The economy may be drab, but color palettes for 2009 are anything but.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2010, vibrant shades of blue are back and better than ever. Look for inspiration from nature. For instance, you can easily be inspired by the natural hues found in a peacock feather. Feathers are also a hot trend in 2010, so peacock feathers make the perfect motif for any wedding.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">MOST RECENT BOARDS</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Color Board: Aqua And Orange <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Color Board: Chartreuse and Royal Blue <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Color Your Wedding: Almond Blossom <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Color Your Wedding!
