11 | 10 | 2014Supermodel Tips from Molly Sims for Your Wedding Photos, Part 2: Planning Ahead
05 | 09 | 2013Molly’s Wedding Photo Tips:
1. Get one nice photograph with each bridesmaid.
Molly points out that it’s a lot to ask from your friends to be a bridesmaid. So taking a moment out of your wedding day to individually thank your girlfriends and tell them how much it means to you is really thoughtful. Then you can give each bridesmaid a print as a thank you gift after the wedding. As Molly’s photographer, I would like to note that this was such a great photo op, particularly for happy, emotion-filled candid photos. See one of these photos here.
2. Even if you don’t love posed shots (and who does?!), be realistic about needing some posed shots, too.
And the posed photos will take some time. If you don’t want to see each other before the ceremony, Molly says to be sure to get down the aisle on time! You’re only going to have about 45 minutes for photos with your family and friends and your spouse, so you need to hurry. It’s a drag to miss the cocktail hour, but the photos will last forever.
3. You’re not just limited to black and white and color photographs.
Molly notes that black and white and color is only the beginning. There are toy camera photos; different film stocks, lenses, and processing; Polaroids; digital; 4×5 film; and more. Molly and Scott, who have an incredible collection of photographs and art in their home, made time for a few Polaroid 55 portraits.
4. You want to be as comfortable as possible with your photographer.
Wedding photography is a collaboration. To that end, Molly says speak up to your photographer if you know you have a “good side.” And have your photographer photograph your rehearsal dinner. Not only is it great to have those photographs later, but it helps you, your beloved, and your bridal party and family become comfortable around your photographer.
Molly has wedding tips over on her blog, too! See posts here and here. Thanks, Molly!
