JUNE i» lltl By DAVID LONG Copley News Service A professional portrait photographer understands that your wedding day is one of the most important occa sions in your life and will strive to capture the color, excitement, sentiment and happiness of the event on film. Professionally made im ages are personal mementos that you and your husband will cherish for many years to come. An enlarged bridal portrait or photograph of the wedding party can personal ize the decor of your first home. Smaller photographs - 8xl0-inch or llxl4-inch prints-- are gifts that you and your husband's family will treasure. To find a photographer who provides personal ser vice, start looking well be fore your wedding day, espe cially if the nuptials are set for one of the peak times of the year-- May-June. August or November-December. First, compile a list of possible candidates by ask ing recently married friends for recommendations. Also, consider the family photographer since he or she already knows you and your parents. Next, schedule an appoint ment to visit each photogra pher's studio At the prelimi nary meeting, the studio's bridal consultant can show you the variety of portrait styles available. Skilled pro fessionals can produce tradi tional images in a studio or make* contemporary por traits outdoors, in your home or any other setting that serves as a suitable back drop After you select a photo grapher, return for a second meeting to discuss specific plans. Arrange adate for the photographer to make an en gagement portrait, if it's not already made. , The bridal consultant can offer suggestions about what to wear, how to apply make up and style your hair for the sitting. For the best re sults, photographers recom mend wearing solid-colored clothes and avoiding loud plaids or patterns that may detract from your appear ance. As for makeup, a natural look is preferred over a gar ish application of rouge and mascara. Lightly apply lip stick since the coloring helps highlight your lips and dis tinguish them from the rest of your face. If you have any specific questions about your appear ance, ask the photographer's stylist for advice. Full-service studios save you time by handling small details so you can concen trate on more important matters. When the engage ment photograph is ready, the bridal consultant will help you prepare the wed ding announcement and send both to the newspaper. If you want extra prints to give to your fiance or loved ones, just order them from the photographer. The studio also can contact your house of worship and request per mission to take photographs during the ceremony. In fact, you can rely on the pho tographer to make any ar rangements that involve your bridal photography ses sions. As soon as the dress shop delivers your wedding gown, schedule your formal por trait sitting. The photogra pher can make these images in the studio, at home or out doors.
