Professional photographers, and yes, the Hudson Valley Photographers as well, know what turns a beautiful bride to be into a stressed-out mess. Every bride wants her wedding day to be a picturesque, dream come true and while upstate New York is an ideal setting for a wedding, the fears and jitters that come with wedding planning are almost universal, no matter the location or the couple.
You can experience the great beauty and history of the lesser known gem of New York State, (not just Manhatten has great wedding spots) in the Hudson Valley and while we take pride in putting our brides-to-be at ease, there seem to be five things brides are most fearful of when it comes to the wedding day. Let these common concerns help to ease your worry
1. Though it seems silly, brides are scared of spilling something on their dress. Lets face it, it seems like a ridiculous fear, like an unfounded phobia, but if you think about all the time that went into finding the perfect froc, and the money, it makes sense. Even if the dress was your great-grandmothers, and didnt cost you a dime, it has great sentimental value. While we all want to look like princesses on our wedding day, once weve got the dress thats to-die-for, we stress about messing it up.
The Solution let Hudson Valley Photographers help you carry your train, teach your brides maids how to hold it properly, and even do some dramatic draping of your yards of lace or silk for some of the most elegant wedding photographs to capture your day of bliss.
2. Fear number two has to do with the dress again (surprised?). Many women fear that they wont fit into their dress on the wedding day. Maybe you were a few pounds thinner when you got engaged, or maybe all the stress and responsibility of planning a wedding hasnt left you time to get to the gym. Never fear, our professionals have expert tailors on hand to make your dress fit just right even if youve gained a few pounds since the fitting. You can also just drink lots of water, and take some deep breaths. Know that most of your worry is just that worry more than likely youll fit into that beautiful gown just fine.
3. Women also fear looking bad in their wedding photos. Let us give you a little secret that might ease this anxiety. Even celebrities who have personal trainers and wardrobe consultants, special food delivered to their doors and money to spend as spas and health clubs seven days a week worry about taking a bad photo. Our photographers are so good at what they do, we can make you look your best. We know how to accentuate the positive, and minimize the negative as the song goes so you will feel proud of how beautiful you look on your wedding day, for years to come.
4. It turns our brides also fear that their guests wont have a good time at their wedding and reception. Here is another secret. If you are having a great time, oozing love and joy in your special moment, then everyone else will have a great time too. People love nothing more than to see a couple in love. So put your fear aside and just have fun. Others will follow your lead.
5. The last thing a bride fears is that uh-oh moment or an unplanned blooper at their wedding. Heres the thing about mistakes, artists use them to make masterpieces. We do the same. Sometimes the unplanned moments are the most memorable, the ones that make you smile on your 50th wedding anniversary. Our photographers know how to make an oops into absolute genius. Put this worry aside and just enjoy your day.
