We have ours on Wednesday too and I'm stressing. I couldn't find a cute dress I liked but I have a few jeans outfits that are cute. We're more casual people anyway. Of course the weather says thundershowers...

What are you ladies wearing? How many outfits are you brining?

I found myself more comfortable in jeans than had I worn a dress. We are more casual people too though and were at the beach so for running around (and the wind) jeans worked better. My best friend did ours and what really helped was telling her funny stories about us or just talking to each other. As long as you aren't telling sob stories you'll laugh more naturally and have fun with it (especially if you and FI remember things "differently" like when you first met or first kissed). Yes you will get some horrible pictures of you talking with your mouth wide open but the pictures of you laughing naturally and not forcefully are priceless. Also, bringing something meaningful to you and FI (we wore our rival school sweatshirts but a picture you love, a teddy bear he bought you, a map of the town you met in, etc) can also be a fun prop to play with and make for more sentimental pictures than just some random things as well. HTH! Good luck ladies...have fun!

My FI and I did ours last September, we love fall and we wanted to have the fall leaves in our pictures. My FI is in the army so we incorporated that into our E-pics. We are both huge fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes (College Football) so that was our other outfit. Do outfits that are the two of you. Things that show you guys.

Our Wedding Date

Always have to have a ring shot. We always do the 'I Love You' sign

How he asked me, what I said. I laughed as I said "Yup"

Don't freak out! It will be great! Your photographer will do all the work. You just sit back and be yourself. Be excited!!

Wear bright colors... they show up better on camera! Avoid patterns that could be "dizzying" or distracting.

My only bit of advice is what NOT to do and that would be: don't go and get your makeup and/or hair done somewhere that you've never been before.

I did this and have now been super paranoid that my makeup looked too heavy and my hair was overdone. I'm still waiting to see the results, but if I could do it over I would just do my own hair/makeup (but maybe applied just a bit more than usual). If I had had time I honestly would have taken it all off and started over, but I didn't.

We had ours taken on Saturday and I am so happy with how things went! We brought a change of clothes, but never ended up changing. Our photographers put us totally at ease and we had a fun time talking and laughing (kissing too!). Ditto PP, while we were "posing" we talked about our first date, fun times in college, and other memories.

have fun!

I considered wearing a cute dress but I wanted to be comfortable - I think I picked the perfect thing for me and FI was comfortable too. I'll hopefully have pics to show you soon!

We get 2 outfit changes. A dressy one and a casual one.

I ordered a dress... and it had a hole in it!!! I freaked out! However the new dress should be here tomorrow! Hopefully first thing in the morning!

Got my nails done, toes done and eyebrows waxed tonight! and tomorrow I am getting my hair cut and highlighted... I know I shouldn't do it 8 hours before our pictures... But I have no choice! and they'll style it for me... so I think it will be okay! Hoping atleast!

Just went through my prop list! Few more things to pick up! Buttt we should be set!
