Newport Wedding Photographer- Faith Dugan

I just love Fridays!!  This Friday PHOTOGRAPHY I am featuring the talented and lovely...Faith Dugan Photography of Newport, Rhode Island.  


Faith has some great SECRETS to share with us...


-Schedule an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer to bond with him/her.  You'll feel more at ease on the wedding day since you have a relationship with your photographer and you aren't strangers.  Great engagement pictures will also instill confidence in your chosen photographer.





-Choose the type of photography you are looking for.  If you want photojournalistic or editorial style imagery, try to not be "camera-aware" on the day.  Just do what you do and let your photographer capture you the way you are.





-Don't bog down your photographer with a lengthy "must-take" list.  Photographers know they need to capture the ring ceremony and the  first kiss.  These are obvious photographs that the photographer is already planning on taking.




-Do provide a short list of family formals with names.  If there are any
 family dynamics your photographer needs to know about, tell them!  




-Let your vendors do their art.  It's ok to share your ideas and vision, but artists perform best when they are allowed to produce what they know best.




-If you don't have a photogenic home to get dressed in, rent a great 
hotel room or suite with pretty furniture and window dressings.




-Relax and enjoy your day.  If a small arrangement of flowers isn't exactly right, or the church doesn't play one of your songs, it's ok! You are probably the only one to notice. Your guests don't know the difference!


-Play a little for the camera when it comes to your portraits with your new husband.  
Show chemistry, personality and love.  It comes through in your pictures!




-Steal away with your husband for 3 minutes at the reception.  



-Share a private moment and catch your breath!






Thanks Faith for sharing your your tips and secrets with us...and we promise to follow you on your fabulous blog, become a fan of yours on your Facebook page (I did already!) and keep track of you on your Twitter!


Check back and there will be more from Faith in the future...promise!
