Toledo Engagement Photography – Tamara and Bobby

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Tamara and Bobby came into Kurt Nielsen Photography in December for their Engagement photo session.  After a few formal portraits in the studio, we went to Wildwood Preserve MetroPark for some “less” formal and fun pictures.

Who says it’s too cold in the winter to take great outdoor photographs?
These are just a few of the images from their Engagement Session.  As you can see, we had a “ball.”

I can’t wait for their wedding in July!

Toledo Wedding Photographer Tip of the Week — Have Fun

Have Fun on Your Wedding Day!  Sounds easy, doesn’t it?  Well you would be surprised at how difficult it is for the Bride and Groom to do this.

You have spent months planning for your big day and you want everything to be perfect.  However, inevitably, things will go wrong.  Chances are, no one will know that anything is not what it should be except for you.  Don’t sweat the small things, just go with the flow as if nothing is going on.

If you hire a wedding planner, the wedding planner should be able to take care of all of the problems before they actually become problems.  If you didn’t hire a wedding planner, designate someone to make sure things run as smoothly as planned.  This would be a great job for someone that you (or your mother) wanted in the wedding, but isn’t, but be sure the person you designate is organized.  Make sure that this person knows exactly what you are planning so they know if something is out of place.  If possible, take them with you to the hall, caterer, meeting with the DJ and when looking for decorations.  This way, they know just how everything should run.  Also, make sure that everyone in the wedding party and both sets of parents know who this person is and what their role is.  Make sure if someone has an issue, everyone knows to go to your designated person first.  This will help alleviate most of the stress on your wedding day and allow you to relax and enjoy the moment!

Don’t forget to give your designated person a thank you gift and include them in your thank you speech.
