1. bronzer
   glitter
2. SPF

Glitter and other sparkling lotions often register as sweat in photographs, so beauty experts recommend nixing luminescent lotions the day of the wedding. The tiny pieces of shimmer also tend to rub off on the groom, leaving a trail of unwanted glitter on a black tuxedo.

1. Clasp both arms behind your back.
   Keep arms tight and close to your body.
2. Lift arms slightly away from your sides.

While you might think clasping your arms behind your back or clenching them next to your body will hide arm flab, but both poses will make your shoulders look broader and arms appear bigger. To slim your arms, lift them out just enough so there's a small gap of space between them and your sides.

1. taking photos inside
   wearing heavy makeup
2. removing your eye glasses

When a camera flash is used, eye glasses can create glare. Consider removing them for formal portraits and any other time your photographer recommends.

1. true
   false
2. Only if your photographer is also a licensed counselor.

It’s unfortunate, but sometimes certain family members just don’t get along. Share any pertinent family tensions with your photographer before the big day, and he’ll be prepared to navigate family portraits in a way to ensure the day goes as smoothly as possible.

1. areas with bright sunlight
   areas with shade
2. beside a large body of water in the sun

Bright sunlight can distort features and cast unwanted shadows, so stand in places with shade for the best outdoor photos.

1. slip into more comfortable shoes
   try new makeup
2. change into your reception dress

Some couples change into their more comfortable reception clothes in the middle of their photo shoot, but it’s never a good idea to try new makeup products the day of your wedding. Your skin could have a reaction or breakout, and you’d have little time to remedy the situation.

1. Cross your legs at the knee.
   Cross your legs at the ankles.
2. Don't cross your legs at all.

Experts suggest standing in photos, but when you have to sit, cross your legs at the ankles to slim your thighs and calves.

1. Style hair in an updo and wear long earrings.
   Tilt your head slightly to one side.
2. Wear your hair down.

Experts suggest wearing your hair in an updo and accessorizing with long earrings to give the appearance of an elongated neck.

1. Request that the photographer shoot your venue as a test before the wedding.
   Ask the photographer to eat before the wedding, no matter what the time of day may be.
2. Make a list of photos you would and wouldn’t like in advance of the wedding.

Before the wedding, make a list of photos you want -- and don’t want -- so no pose is forgotten. Ask parents which photos they’d like, too, to ensure picture-taking goes as smoothly as possible.

1. before the ceremony
   after the ceremony
2. Either before or after is fine; it’s up to the bride and groom.

You can choose to take your wedding photos either before or after the ceremony -- it just depends on your personal preference! Either way, share your plans with your photographer before the wedding so your day is organized accordingly.
