[S2/EP71] Tips for the Best First Dance Images—I give you four tips for the best first dance images. The couple’s first dance is a high-key moment of the wedding day and generally, the wedding photographer is working around a million obstacles during this timeline event. There are lighting and staging issues, usually, the couple isn’t the best dancers (or they dip in the wrong direction every. single. time.), no one is paying the slightest bit of attention, the DJ or planner might not have given the photographer enough time to set up lighting or get a proper exposure OR discover where other key family members might be seated or standing to include reaction shots, or finally, couples commit the worst faux pax without forewarning the photographer… cutting the song short. Here are four short and sweet tips to help improve your first dance images from your wedding day. If you can help it, never cut the song short.Remember to smile.

In each episode, I’ll try to tackle a common problem or obstacle that I have personally experienced over the years of shooting weddings or I’ll discuss something that I'm currently observing in the industry.
