Q. What is the best advice you can give us?

Perhaps two pieces of advice I can give are:

First: let it be light! By planning the Ceremony during daylight hours and making sure the Reception lighting is not completely dimmed you will help your photographer to minimize the use of flashes. Your photographs will look more natural and more attractive plus your guests will suffer less from bright flashes.

The second advice is: limit the guest photography. The atmosphere of your Ceremony affected already by the presence of hired photographers, assistants and videographers. Now imagine guests standing around you entire Ceremony with flashing and beeping consumer cameras, preventing a photographer from taking important images and interfering with your elegant ceremony atmosphere. Imagine also the traditional photos, your photographer will be taking, competing with a number of guests trying to get an attention of your family during that time. It not only will distract bridal party from looking at the main camera, but will also extend the session itself, taking away valuable time that could be spent celebrating with family and guests.
