Tips for your special day from Correa's

Take engagement photos  

Engagement photos your chance to have your makeup artist do a trial run to make sure you're camera ready, to see if you really like those presets you've seen on social media, and to understand the different angles that work for you when posing for a professional wedding photographer. Hey, you can even practice that first kiss a few times (tip: most couples will exaggerate the pucker as soon as there's a DSLR pointing at them!).   

Get to know your wedding photographer.  

Correa's Photography, encourages couples to go beyond the quick meet and greet with their photographer and, instead, form a genuine rapport. She says, "Get to know your photographers! Grab a coffee with them and create a meaningful relationship. That way, on your wedding day, your nerves will melt away because you’re working with your friends."  When there's a friend on the other side of the camera, that's when you capture some of the most authentic moments. So, set up a date or two with your photographer to not only discuss the wedding shoot and the workflow of the day, but to get to know each other as people. It's easier to let loose when you know that the person behind that fancy mirrorless camera also enjoys a margarita and tacos on a Tuesday night, just like you do.   Tip: If there's a second shooter, get to know them, too!
