Tip of the Day: "The number of brides I hear lamenting about how much their feet hurt is way too high. Sometimes, their pained expressions will even come through in the photos," says William Petruzzo from Petruzzo Photography, a member of Professional Photographers of America. Most photography shots completely conceal a bride's feet, so you can easily avoid an uncomfortable situation by changing into flats for the most active portions of your wedding.

"The more comfortable you feel, the more relaxed you'll be. You'll also enjoy a lot more mobility in flats, particularly during the formal photos, where traveling off the beaten path might be an attractive option," he says.
