A Sweet & Perfect ‘Ceremony Kiss.’ A Few Fast Facts…

Alina + Ethan.

This wonderful duo exchanged vows at The Canal in Seattle and as an “end of ceremony flourish,” shared the sweetest of kisses.

Having been to a few weddings in my lifetime, I offer these fast tips for a sweet, pretty and romantic “kiss” at the end of a wedding ceremony:

– Get Your Officiant Out of the Way!  Really, why does any Officiant just stand there as a couple shares a lifetime moment?  Simply put, have your Officiant move out of the way and to the side of his/her space.  This moment is truly about the two of you and offers your photographer a clean shot.

As you’ll note from this photo, I moved to the side and the photographer was able to shoot the couple with me in the photo and was also able to take photos of “just the couple.”

– Kiss and Hug!  Share a kiss and share a hug.  This makes your moment last a little longer and gives you both an opportunity to fully embrace and “feel the moment.”

Simple and easy.  A little planning does wonders for capturing such a timeless photo!
