Many times my second photographers enjoy cocktail hour more than I do. This is generally the time I am with a couple getting the great portraits of them out on location or around the country club. But this is a key time for many guests and family. It is time your guests start to relax and enjoy the evening. Think of this as the opening act to the couple’s arrival. I found an article on brides.com that gives some tips on making the cocktail hour cute. At first, I was not so sure. But the reason I like these ideas is it gives the guests a look at your style and also some great conversations for the guests. I really think the more relaxed and fun a cocktail hour is, the more entertaining your reception is too.
