Tip of the Day: The portrait is a great time for a dress rehearsal of the big day! "Have your hair and makeup done, wear the dress at a beautiful location — make sure you have some help getting in and out of it, so you don't accidentally get it dirty — then have fun with your photographer," the pros at Mingle Charleston advise.
You can even use props like balloons, a parasol, your dog, or get your florist to make a bouquet for a sneak peek of your wedding day flowers.
