The best portraits usually have the subjects tooking directly at the camera. It's obvious really; how often have you heard someone describe how the eyes of a great portait painting seem to follow you around the room. What the old masters of art knew applies just as much to photography. Unfortunately it's all too easy for the happy couple to be distracted by the sea of people milling around behind the official photographer. There will be faces you haven't seen for ages and cameras waved at you from all angles and it's easy for your attention to wander and the chances increase of having someone staring distractedly into space as the size of party being photographed gets bigger.
So concentrate on your wedding photographer to give him the best chance of capturing the perfect smile and look that will look back at you from your album for years to come.
Watch the Birdie!!!
