Tip of the Day: Keep in mind the time of day and season you choose to get married in and how it will impact your wedding photos. If you want beautiful, natural light photos or gorgeous sunset snapshots of you and your groom, but you also want a 6 p.m. ceremony in November, it's not going to happen. It'll be pitch black by the time you get married. Work with your photographer to determine what is most important to you and heed their advice on how best to achieve it," says Renee Sprink from Renee Sprink Photography, a member of Professional Photographers of America.
