Five Amazing Ways To Make Your Pre-Wedding Photography Shine

He just proposed, and she’s as giddy as a schoolgirl. That happiness will radiate for weeks - or at least until the stress of planning a wedding takes hold! Capture those feelings with pre-wedding photography (also known as engagement photography).

In order to get a timeless, beautiful look for your pre-wedding photography, follow five tips that will ensure the focus is on you, the newly engaged couple, and not your clothes or the background.

1. Dress in classic styles that you’re comfortable in. If you’re normally a dressy gal, then go ahead and buy a special new dress or skirt for the occasion. If you’re a jeans and T-shirt person, though, don’t try to dress up just to dress up. The discomfort will show on your face, so stick to jeans (clean!) and a dressier top. A simple outfit in a solid color is your best bet, and make sure your significant other is wearing a color that complements yours.

2. Don’t dress in up-to-the minute trends. While you think it looks great now, in about 20 years, you’ll feel the same way as you do now when you view ’80s photos. In other words, it dates the photo and makes it more about the fashion than the couple. Along the same lines, take off your eyeglasses for the photos, if possible. They are one of the easiest ways to tell in what era a photograph was taken.

3. When posing for the camera, smile with your whole face. What that means is to let that smile radiate through your face into your eyes. Don’t be afraid to smile with your mouth open a bit or even laugh during the photo shoot. This brings a twinkle into your eyes and shows how truly happy you two are.

4. Push your face toward the camera when posing for a photo. To make this easier, pretend you’re a turtle and crane out neck out your shell toward the camera. This shouldn’t be forced, just a slight push forward to reduce double chins (not that we’re suggesting you have one!) and tighten facial skin. It might feel a little strange to you, but the camera won’t be able to capture your contortion - just the effect it has on your appearance.

5. Go for a fun and relaxed look. Posed photos are boring! You can hardly romp around in your wedding dress, so this is the time for you to get some shots of you and your fiancee having fun! Roll around on the ground, climb a few trees, play on the stairwell - the overall result of your pre-wedding photography will be much more charming.

The New Dash: Upgrade Your Dash Today

   Subscribe To Our Feed Tue 14 Jul 2009

by Christopher L. Grant

T-Mobile Dash was a very popular phone when it was released. It quickly became a favorite among users. With its nice design and great list of features it was a very versatile phone. But it was far from perfect. T-Mobile hoped to satisfy its customers with fixing some of the problems with the new T-Mobile Dash 3G.

Firstly the Dash 3G is a very good looking phone. It was expertly designed. One of the best improvements over the first Dash is the soft finish which covers the back of the phone. The soft finish makes the phone appear to be more sophisticated and professional than other smartphones. The Dash 3G is a nice size and isnt too big or too small. It will fit nicely into ones pocket. A major drawback of the phone is its small screen. With a resolution of only 320×240 the Dash 3G clearly is lacking in this department. When viewing large websites or messages you will need to scroll to read/view the entire thing. Also due to the low resolution you may see some unsightly pixels here and there in photos and videos. Thankfully everything else featured on this phone works amazingly well. The trackball navigator is great and works very well. Another plus is the spacious and comfortable full QWERTY keyboard. There is a good amount of space between each key and the buttons are individually raised and curved. The letters and numbers on each key are very easy to read because of the vibrant color and ink they were printed in.

The Dash 3G comes with a wide list of features. One such feature allows users to link up their phones to any email or instant messaging service. After syncing up customers are able to receive phone alerts anytime he or she receives an email or instant message. Most notably the phone utilizes the 3G network. This allows users to download content and surf the web at lightening fast speeds, anyone phone with 3G is always a plus. Another sought after feature is GPS. The Dash 3G offers users more than one application for GPS but only using TeleNav Navigation will he or she be able to receive real time voice directions to their destination.

The Dash 3G houses a 2 megapixel camera. When compared to the 1.3-megapixel camera found on the first Dash this new camera is a great improvement. The camera takes very nice looking photos, and offers up a nice variety of image capture options. The Dash 3G can also record video. The video quality is decent but can be quite grainy at times.

The T-Mobile Dash 3G is a very good phone. It enhances and improves on everything the Dash did. Its a great phone for anyone who is looking for a versatile phone packed with amazing features. But be wary of the small screen.

Siloam Springs location of the outdoor movie is very near the water so there is high chance that you get bitten by wasps and mosquitoes.

Reminiscin’ the movie: Transformers

   Subscribe To Our Feed Sun 12 Jul 2009

by Mara Hernandez-Capili

I am a huge fan of the movie Transformers. I am no huge fan of robots or transforming trucks but somehow the movie made me a fan of Sci-fi films. For those of you who haven’t watched the film it is about a young high school boy named Sam Whitwicky who inherited one Transformer car (Bumblebee) and became an accomplice to the war of the robots. The movie contained various twists and turns that featured award winning Sci-fi effects.

Nevada has their own beat and taste of action. Nevada holds a Truck Show, an event where Monster trucks are the lead actors. Truck shows such as Nevada’s made people remember the movie transformers. Truck shows are the really thing and it is where the real action is. Here, different trucks are presented. Antique Car show will also be held along side with this annual truck show. The event will be categorized according to different aspects, such as the oldest, the most fashionable and of course the fastest. Cars will be awarded accordingly. Truck enthusiast surely won’t miss this kind of event.

Going back to the Transformers movie, Sam and his girlfriend got tangled up on the war of the machines that has somehow gotten over our planet. In the movie, newcomer Megan Fox is seen as a hot and sexy chick that had guys drooling over. The movie actually garnered her several other major roles in upcoming movies as it became the stepping stone to her stardom.

Transformers aren’t just about trucks, sci-fi and robots. It is also about camaraderie and loyalty to friends. It is about giving up one’s life for a friend and for the greater good cause of everyone. The movie teaches us a lot of lessons in life, love and in faith. It also talks about how technology can actually improve and damage the world when used wrongly.

Come with your comrades to the best and most anticipated Truck Show!
