Wedding Photography Tips (Video) | Our Wedding Week Appearance on the CW

By, September 16, 2014

True Photography is the featured photographer for the CW’s Wedding Week, and our photos will be showcased throughout the week’s broadcasts. In fact, our very own Meghan was on The CW’s morning show yesterday! She talked about tips for preparing for your wedding day photography, in order to get the best results.

Meghan also shared a few examples of our favorite recent images, and had a nice chat with the host on live air :) Here are the tips she shared (and the video is below):

TIP #1: When looking for a photographer, we feel that the most important thing is to connect with the company’s work

  • First and foremost, choose a photographer’s work that INSPIRES you.
  • Put pricing aside at first so you can make the best decision.
  • If you initially love the style and quality of photography you see, chances are you are going to be super happy with your own photos.

TIP #2: Let your photographer know what is most important to you

  • As photographers, we’re an open book – we want to hear your thoughts! If you have initial ideas (likes, must-have photos etc) we’d love to hear them.
  • Tell us what you’re like as a couple (traditional, fun, a mix of both), and what your event will be like. This will give us inspiration.
  • We learn a lot by getting to know you. A great photographer will produce images that reflect you without you having to dictate every picture :)

TIP #3: Take time to enjoy the day. Don’t be afraid to have fun.

  • The key is to prepare up until the wedding day, and then enjoy the ride.
  • If you’re having fun and celebrating, this will show in your images.
  • There will be surprises. Just know that. Things happen, so just expect the unexpected!

First Look, Sneak Peek, Unveiling | Recent Wedding Trend

By, June 16, 2014

These days, more and more couples are electing to include a ‘first look’ on their wedding day. The first look involves a special moment, away from the hubbub of the day, where the wedding couple sees each other for the first time in their wedding attire. During this time, we photograph most of the couple’s portraits together. Because these portraits are accomplished early in the day, there is typically extra time remaining for the couple to socialize with guests at the cocktail hour!

Whenever a first look is involved, we work with the couple to pick a romantic and secluded spot for the unveiling.  Then, we step aside, camera poised, and let the emotions take over :) Have a ‘first look’ at some of our favorite first looks below!

Mark Your Presence | Guestbook Inspiration Board

By, October 29, 2013

Years from now, you’ll want to remember every last person that made your wedding day so special :)  For this reason, guestbooks come in handy!

In traditional guestbooks, wedding guests would just sign their names on a line in a book to mark their presence.  However, this concept has since evolved into something much more creative and fun.  Modern interpretations not only give guests the opportunity to add their John Hancock, but also to add their own wit, wisdom or well wishes. This makes the guestbook much more meaningful, and gives the bridal couple a reason to revisit these messages over time.

Instead of an actual book, many couples use personal items to capture signatures, such as guitars, baseball bats, tennis balls and puzzle pieces. These items can be put on display in the home, and serve as a daily reminder of the wedding day. Current popular styles of guest “books” include photo albums, frames, fingerprint family trees and wine bottles. However, there are no rules…so feel free to find inspiration in the creative ideas below!
