What to Wear to a Wedding

(as the photographer)
Yes, we all want moveable, easy clothing, however, it doesn’t serve as an excuse to show up on your client’s wedding day looking like you’re going to paint the walls of your mom’s house.

Remember that how you look like when you show up at your client’s special event will ultimately reflect your work as a professional and how they refer you to others. And in consideration of the saying “you are what you wear”, wouldn’t your clients be more confident and trusting in your creative skills if you dress yourself in a way that adheres to the event’s theme?

So how do you go about this challenge? Here are a couple of tips to consider:

Knowing the dress code 
Weddings are usually formal,  but they do vary. Match your attire to the feel of the location. Opt for dressy or smart casual. As defined by Ask, “dressy casual attire is usually meant for evening events that are more social and less of business type.” Weddings fit right into this category. Stylish and appropriate for the occasion. No matter what your preference is, these two styles will allow you to make yourself presentable during the client’s big day.

Comfortable Yet Appropriate
Yes, you want to be able to move freely, but as much as possible, avoid jeans, cargo shorts, printed shirts, flip flops etc as you want to maintain that professional rapport with your clients. Retail brand Marks & Spencer is a great example of having a wide range of clothing selections that will address various needs. With their line of bridesmaid dresses as well as varied choices of formal jackets and crisp shirts for men; they have styles that can both adhere to your client’s dress code and your need for comfortable working clothes.

Check out Buzzle  for attire ideas, and even enumerated dos and don’ts for both men and women. Again, there’s no excuse for not looking the part as a professional and talented wedding photographer.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out! 
 Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
