I know you, the bride, want to look as beautiful as you possibly can on your wedding day. Even more importantly you want to look absolutely stunning in your wedding photographs that will be in your wedding album.

When you think about beautiful photographs you most likely think about the photographs as seen in advertisements, television, magazines and billboards etc..

You must realize many of those photographs are airbrushed, digitally manipulated and otherwise enhanced. Did you know the definition of airbrush when used as a verb is

To touch up or enhance a photograph, often with intent to mislead.

Models also have a certain look, shape and figure. Most of us are not built like the models seen in advertisements. But it is not the end of the world.

As you are well aware there are many tabloid magazines out there that show and portray celebrities/models in their real habitat, without makeup, fancy outfits and air brushing. They look just like you and me... sometimes even worse

So how do we level the playing field so we can look like a model in our wedding photographs?

First off, in my opinion, you will be wearing the most awesome and beautiful attire there is, the wedding dress. There is just something about a wedding dress that transforms a bride into a stunning looking princess.

Secondly you will have had your hair styled just for the special occasion. Add this to your wedding dress and your beauty goes right off the scale (that is a good thing).

Third, your makeup will be put on better than you normally put it on. Now you are in model territory.

And lastly, with adding a professional wedding photographer, you enter the super model category.

And you thought this blog was going to be filled with all kinds of tricks and tidbits about making you look like a model. Well you were right it is. What you don't realize is how beautiful you will look on your wedding day. Did you know even when those models are all "doo'ed" up that it may take hundreds to thousands of photographs before they get the one that is awesome? Well rest assured, your success rate of looking awesome in your wedding photographs will be much higher than any silly skinny model
