Tips On Using Your Digital Camera While Shopping...

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Here are a few photo tips that will help make the process of researching and organizing all the masses of wedding info you are collecting a fun and morganized process.

1.  You have a digital camera, right?? Well... take it with you all the time so you can take shots of wedding dresses, china, flowers, reception halls, outdoor gardens and more. Always be sure to ask the "vendor's" permission to shoot-it's only polite.  Say that you are taking images for your wedding database. This way, when you want to compare dresses, remember a china patter or the color of the flowers you loved, you'll have the image on your computer and in the appropriate folder (more to come on that!).

2. Make sure you know how to turn the flash off on your camera. Very often the existing or ambient light will be adequate for your shot and will look more natural than a flashy image with your on camera flash.

3. The higher the ISO on your camera (may go from 100-1600), the more light sensitive your camera will be. So, if you can adjust the ISO and not use your flash, you'll be good. If not, just shoot the best images you can.

4. When you get home, immediately download your images into folders on your computer that are specifically titled: Ex. Florists, Flower Arrangements,  Gowns with Sleeves, Sleeveless Gowns, Dishes, Dining Room Furniture, Honeymoon, etc. Lumping all your images into one wedding folder will not help your organization.

5. Make 4x6 or 5x7 prints that you can place in your paper folders. This will be helpful when you want to put 3-5 images, for example, of flowers on your desk/table to look, compare and decide.
