Aris Affairs Photography, Prescott wedding photographer, offers suggestions for bridal photos

Your ideal Prescott wedding photo shoot will no doubt begin with photos of you, the beautiful bride. To help every bride look her very best on a day that's often full of overflowing energy and bustling activities, Aris Affairs Photography offers these professional tips for beautiful photos.

Picture Scenes and Poses
Well before your wedding day, begin to prepare for your bridal photo shoot with a list of the settings and poses you'd like captured. Here are some classic bridal settings and poses to consider:

• Putting your gown on
• Gazing into a mirror
• Having your hair and makeup done
• Slipping on your garter
• Adjusting your veil
• Focusing on your special accessories like a treasured family heirloom, or vintage jewelry piece
• Looking at a photo of your fiance   
• Rehearse the shoot

Rehearse, especially if you're photo-shy. Use a mirror to help you practice the poses you have in mind. Practice your glances, your gazes, your smile and your posture. Practice sitting, posing your hands and tilting your head. Ask your maid of honor or mom to help you by offering their gentle opinions and insight. Find your best side and your best angles so that you can position yourself to look your best in every picture.

In front of the camera

Face and Neck - Using a mirror, practice positions and angles to discover the poses you like best. Posing with your face and neck slightly lifted is often flattering.

Shoot from Above - Few people look good in photos shot from below. Looking up to a camera is almost always better than looking down to one.

Avoid Head-On Poses - Turning your head slightly to one side as well as your body to create those model- thin angles will be far more flattering than a head-on pose. It's your wedding, not a passport picture.

Relax
Relaxation is the absolute key to beautiful wedding photos. The most treasured photos are always of clients who are relaxed and comfortable. If you're offering champagne at your wedding it might be helpful to have a sip...but to ensure beautiful photos, do not indulge.

Aris Affairs Photography hopes these tips for your Prescott bridal shoot inspire and prepare you to take beautiful, timeless bridal photos that you and your new husband can enjoy forever.

Aris Affairs Photography talks about wedding party photos for your Prescott wedding

Does every niece, sister, sorority sister, and cousin want to be a bridesmaid at your wedding, but there are only three groomsmen attending? Don’t worry! This is an awesome opportunity to make your Prescott wedding interesting and fun. Aris Affairs Photography wants to give you some great tips to make your lopsided wedding party work for you.

The photos
Stagger the smaller group of either bridesmaids or groomsmen among the larger group. If you have more groomsmen than bridesmaids, divide the men up into small groups and then distribute a bridesmaid or two per group. The bridesmaids’ dresses can add a pop of color among darker suits.

The procession
Skip tradition a little bit! Instead of pairing up every bridesmaid with a groomsman, have two groomsmen walk one bridesmaid down the aisle. Vice-versa, if you have more bridesmaids than groomsmen, let the ladies walk in groups of 2-3 and have some groomsmen walk individually.

The ceremony
All eyes will be on you, the couple, so don’t worry if your wedding party isn’t even! The most important part of this moment is that all the special people in your life are standing by your side when you both say, “I do”. To deter attention from your party, you could have most of the attendants positioned at the altar before the ceremony begins.

Organizing your wedding party doesn’t have to be tricky! Use these tips to make sure your Prescott wedding is just what you imagined. You shouldn’t have to stress about anything on your big day. Trust expert wedding photographer Aris Affairs Photography to come up with some great ideas to capture your uneven wedding party beautifully.

Aris Affairs Photography, Prescott family photographer, suggests the best time to take newborn photos

Once your adorable newborn has arrived, you will want to take a million pictures of your precious new family member. As a mom, you know just how important it is to capture these moments: time flies! A professional photography session is a great way to capture these newborn memories forever. Aris Affairs Photography, professional family photographer in Prescott, has some recommendations on the best time to schedule a photo session for your little one.

Scheduling
Call the photographer to book an appointment two to three months before your due date to avoid future stress. This way you will not have another to-do item on your agenda while taking care of a newborn.

Appointment Date
Five to 12 days after giving birth will be the most ideal time to have a photo session. Your baby will be in the most adorable curly poses, like they are in the womb. Also, your baby will be very sleepy, which will be easier to adjust them into classic newborn poses.

Birth Announcement
Once your photography session is over, you can use your precious photos to create an adorable birth announcement for all your friends and family!

Aris Affairs Photography understands how important it is to capture photos of your newborn within the first two weeks. For a comfortable and professional newborn photoshoot experience in Prescott, call Aris Affairs Photography at 928-642-4049. Learn more and visit our gallery at  http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography, Prescott family photographer, talks about what to wear for spring family portraits

“What should we wear?” is a question often asked when people are planning their photography session. Since wardrobe choices, fashion styles, and color trends are always changing and are such a large part of a portrait session, Prescott family photographer Aris Affairs Photography offers tips to looking your best in your spring family photos.

1. Choose Your Favorite Feel-Good Colors
Do you have a long-time favorite or do you feel your best wearing the latest trendy color? Whether you're a family of adults or you have a host of small children, looking good requires being happy and comfortable. That’s why when you're planning your photo session, it’s so important to choose colors you and your entire family feel great about. And even if people have different favorites, it's easy to do. Just follow Tips #2 and #3!

2. Choose Complementary Colors
Instead of dressing in a 'matchy-matchy' style, families tend to look their best by wearing outfits that go together rather than match. Different colors that complement one another create more interest and appeal. While you might be tempted to instruct everyone to dress in your favorite pastel, please don't. Opt instead for including colors in everyone's outfit that pair well together. A great way to incorporate complementary colors is by adding them in light layers or by adding accessories.

3. Incorporate Accent Colors
Layers and accessories are a perfect way of adding complementary colors but they can also elevate your wardrobe choices. A rather-plain neutral palette can be transformed into elegant simplicity with a bold accent color. Jewelry, scarves, shoes, hats and ties are all various ways you can thoughtfully accent your look.

4. Consider the final location
Do you already know where you want to hang your new family portrait? Consider if the color theme you're thinking of for your photo session will clash with the wall color in your den, library, or living room before you make your final selections. Try to visualize where you want to display your portrait before you make your color choices.

While you're planning your family photo session and considering all the color and style options available to you, don't forget that being comfortable, being yourself, and being happy brings out the best in everyone. If you're ready to schedule your spring family portrait, call Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography today at 928-642-4049.
