It seems the bulk of the attention on the wedding day is all on the bride. Getting your groom in front of the camera is important too! Here are 8 tips for the groom on his wedding day!

- Collect all of your accessories in one place for your photographer. This can include: shoes, tie or bowtie, cologne, watch, cigar, boutonniere, cuff links, and any sentimental items. Do not put any of these items on before your photographer arrives so that she can style and photograph them first.
- Each photographer may be different but I request that all groomsmen and the groom get dressed in all except accessories (ties, shoes, cuff links, jackets) before I arrive. That way when I get there I can photograph them putting on the last finishing touches.
- Keep the getting ready area tidy. Throw all empty bottles and cans in the trash, do not leave on table tops!

- Consider having a signature cologne for your wedding day so that your new Mrs. always thinks of your wedding day when you wear it!
- Have a copy of the timeline handy so you know when you need to be ready for photos.
- Arrange to have someone bring the boutonnieres to your getting ready location.
- If you are gifting your groomsmen on your wedding day wait for your photographer to arrive to pass out the goods.

- And lastly have fun with your portraits! I get it. Many men are not too thrilled about being in front of the camera, but when was the last time you were all dressed up in a tux? Enjoy it!
