Photography is Awesome... Even When it's Not Your Wedding!

I'll tell you why... before your wedding, you should use it as a tool!!

While the topic of photography is generally directed toward servicing individual couples for their big day, I want to throw this idea out to brides- and grooms-to-be: if you need ideas for wedding themes, colors, favors, etc., browse wedding PHOTOS!

Of course you can always come into Prelude Photography's studios at Great Lakes Mall and SouthPark Mall and look at our samples (shameless plug, thanks), but also, hit up your friends, family, the internet... the best way to see if a wedding scheme or idea works is to see images from another wedding that's used a particular idea!

While this may sound common sense, the trap couples can fall into when looking for ideas is to buy tons of magazines (expensive), buy books of themes (unnecessary and often too specialized), or specifically look for favors, "themes" and color schemes individually.

My best suggestion? Use Google Images! Look up "wedding" and a color you want to use, and a ton of pics will come up featuring that color! Look up "wedding" and an idea, like "modern", and see what you get! It's kind of incredible the stuff you'll find.

When we planned our wedding, we started out with the mags and shopping... but we got our best ideas from looking at photos from other people's weddings. Now we have our own photos to enjoy! We looked up "earthy cakes" and got ideas that led us to our cake design... see above! :)

Happy browsing...
