Tip of the Day: "Your wedding gown is likely to be the most expensive garment you'll ever own, yet you only get to wear it once. And the one time you do wear it, it's on a hectic day when you're being rushed from preparation to the ceremony to the reception, and hurriedly taking zillions of photos along the way. Why not honor the dress with a fun fashion shoot before your big day?" says Chris Smith from Chris and Cami Photography, a member of Professional Photographers of America.

Taking bridal portraits before the wedding will help you get to know your photographer so that you feel completely at ease in front of the camera when you say your "I do's." Above all else, have fun!
