When I got married in September 2005, I had a list of five absolutes for my wedding:
1. The groom (clearly)
2. The ring
3. The dress
4. The photographer
5. The honeymoon
While there are clearly varying degrees of importance, thankfully, even with a wedding on a
budget, I didn’t have to sacrifice any on these absolutes.
Here are some wedding photo tips to consider when preparing for your wedding and bridal
photos:
1. Try the photo-journalistic approach.
2. Wear more make-up than usual.
3. Take your photos a day other than your wedding day.

Here are some wedding photo tips to consider when preparing for your wedding and bridal
photos:
1. Try the photo-journalistic approach.
- This is the newest trend in wedding photography. As you can see, Sandra didn’t use
the “cheese!” approach, rather allowed us wander ahead and captured the natural
moments as they came. As my sister Stephanie said when she first saw Sandra’s
website, “It looks like something from a magazine!
2. Wear more make-up than usual.
- Much like when on stage or in theatre, the make-up you are wearing will look like
less than it is. It may look like a little much, but it won’t in your photos. You may want
to consider getting together with a make-up artist to learn some new techniques, or,
hire one! Might I recommend Anny Lin in Vancouver, or Dawn Weidauer in the Salt
Lake City area.
3. Take your photos a day other than your wedding day.
- We did our bridal and couple photos several days before the wedding - by the time
we were married, we were able to focus on the ceremony itself and not in the other
details. After the luncheon, we just drove off into the sunset!

I knew exactly what I wanted from my wedding pictures. After asking
around, I was reffered to Sandra Leung. Sandra is the owner of the
Yaletown Wedding Gallery in the trendy Yaletown district of Vancouver.
After visiting Sandra’s studio and seeing the caliber of photographer
she was, she was the natural choice. Didn’t she do a beautiful job?
