Love Lee Photography for a Lovely Bride!

There are a ton of Houston Wedding Photographers...a dime a dozen, but Margaret Lee of Love Lee Photography stands a part as one of the best! She has the full package and by that, I don't mean engagement sessions, bridal sessions, and album choices (although, she gets two thumbs up in that department too)!

She is a pleasure to work with and I can always count on her getting the shots that my clients melt over. Her photography style is playful and thoughtful and her images vibrant, colorful, and alive! Margaret is dedicated to the client's wishes and desires, but also in tuned to their needs and provides photography packages that are suitable to every bride's budget.

Love Lee Photography will follow you to the ends of the world for destination weddings and also specializes in boudoir sessions.

Grand Ideas for Your Grand Entrance

Grand Entrances should capture your guests. This is the first introduction as husband and wife at the reception...make it memorable!

1) Play a song that builds excitement! My clients Jason and Amanda played the Rocky theme song as they were raised up from the lift at Hotel ZaZa...their guests were going crazy! Dunna, duh, Dunna, duh, Dunna, duh, Dunna, duh!! (me trying to hum the song)

2) Do a little jig or a signature dance move! Have fun with the entrance...it sets the tone for the reception.

3) If you're a little more conservative then take your time. Don't rush to your seat. Let the entire song play and reach out to some of your guests to give them hugs or shake their hands. Seriously, this is your presidential moment!!

4) Please go straight to the dance floor!!!! There is nothing worse than building up the momentum and then coming to a screeching hault by sitting down. You already have everyone's attention so milk it for what it's worth and give them the dance of your life!

5)Smile, Kiss, and make it a photo worthy moment!! Guys, twirl your girl or dip her and when you lift her up meet her with a kiss! Seriously, you'll get the "Most Romantic" guy award and points with your honey!!

We would love to hear your unique ideas for Entrances....stay connected for ideas on the Grand Exit!!
