How to find a good wedding photographer?
Caught on camera : Precious moments to last a lifetime
Photography is like making that first impression – you only get one chance to do it right. Your wedding photographs capture all the emotions, excitement and details, preserving the memories of the day you became man and wife. Needless to say, you won’t be giving this huge responsibility to your second cousin who happens to own a nice camera and loves taking photos. Good photography is an art which requires skill and planning, so choose your wedding photographer carefully.
Here are a few tips on finding the right professional :
Word-of-mouth
Ask your married friends and relatives about their wedding photographer, and more importantly, ask to see their wedding albums when they rave about how “awesome” their photographer was. Actual wedding photos allow you to examine the quality and style of the photographer’s work. Word-of-mouth referrals not only promote a particular photographer’s work, but also his or her personality and work etiquette.
The personality test
Get to know your short listed photographers and see how easily they interact with you. An open-minded photographer who is interested in getting to know you and finding out what you want earns extra points! Remember that your photographer will need to bring out the best in you and your guests.
Price and timeline
Ask about the price upfront, and how the photographer’s services are charged. Some may charge by the hour, while others may offer packages.
Solo or team?
Does your photographer work alone, or does he work in a team? It is generally a good idea for you to hire a studio that provides more than one photographer to cover your wedding. The reasons :
● This prevents chaos if there are last minute no-shows or if a camera decides to quit.
● Total coverage of your wedding. Having more than one photographer means you can always have one by your side, while others can cover your party and guests.
● Beautiful, continuous photographs. One photographer will be able to stand before you as you walk down the aisle, while another may capture photographs of your train.
Let your photographer know exactly what you want and what you expect. Never assume that your photographer, given his or her experience, should know what you want. So take some time and think about what kind of photographs you want to fill your wedding album with, and write them down. Also inform your photographer about the sequence of events, duration of ceremonies and parties, travel (if any), and people to look out for during the wedding, e.g. parents, grandparents, or the granduncle who is famous for breaking into dance wherever there is a dance floor! Proper planning and successful communication with your photographer will save you the heartache of looking through your wedding photographs and not seeing what you want.

Planning Your Wedding
Ask any newlywed couple - even couple that have been married for a long time - and they'll all say the same thing; The key to a successful wedding is in the planning. Small things go wrong at every wedding. But keep in mind that you can save yourself from headaches by making a plan and simply sticking with it. These simple tips will help you take some of the stress away:
• Lose the Laziness
One mistake that many couples make is basking in the glow of their engagement until 4-6 months before their wedding date. Then they try to cram all of the planning into a too-short period of time. Of course you should just sit back and be thrilled about your engagement for a while, but then you have to get cracking!
•Buy a Calendar or Datebook
Once you determine your wedding date, set specific dates by which you want to get things accomplished. Try to get as much done as possible in the first few months so that the last few months won't be hectic.
• Set Aside Time to Work on Wedding Details
Choose a day of the week when you'll focus on it, or several days if you're pressed for time. Sit down together and plan. This eliminates confusion.
•Share Duties
This is the best way to get things done. You both should be involved every step of the way. Make a list of details to be taken care of, and then divide the list in half. Each of you choose what you want to do. This will make grooms want to be involved, instead of making them feel like they have to help. Involving you husband-to-be will make him feel that it's his wedding too.
•Talk, Talk, Talk
We can't stress this enough. Be sure that of if you're sharing duties that you're also sharing the details.It's okay to take care of certain things by yourself, just make sure you're telling each other about it so the caterer isn't contracted twice!
•Be Flexible
Okay. So you really didn't want the groom/usher in those tails and top hats. And maybe he doesn't want the cake to be lemon with pecan icing!. Each of you is going to want things that the other doesn't care for,but flexibility is a must. Be willing to bend. If you really object to something, let you objection be dully heard and noted. Just give the other person a chance to explain why he/she really wants to arrive at the reception in a hot tub in the back of the limo.
•Details, Contracts & Negotiations
When dealing with wedding professionals, be sure to clarify all the details and your expectations during the initials discussions. Make sure you get a contract specifically stating dates, times, and locations. Be sure to include what you feel is appropriate dress, and what you feel isn't. Spell out everything. Try to negotiate the best deal for goods and services, but don't sell yourself short on important things just to get a better price.
Most importantly, be sure to read the fine print on every contract before you sign it, and make sure you're aware of cancellation policies and fees. Also, ask if there's a grace period to cancel just in case you change your mind or something happens and you need to postpone the wedding.
•Stay Organized
This one's pretty obvious! The more organized you are, the less chance there is that something will go wrong. Buy a notebook, and keep all your wedding information in it. Receipt, contracts, ideas - everything. You might also want to get notebooks for your maid of honor/bridesmaids and the the best man. Put info such as dates, times, locations, and duties. This will keep everyone organized as well, and minimize the chance of someone missing a fitting date or rehearsal time

kegilaan sex yg melampau!
An HIV-positive man has confessed to injecting his blood into his sleeping wife and infecting her with the virus that can cause Aids, reports have said.
It is believed the man wanted to give her the disease so she would start having sex with him again, New Zealand's Sunday Star-Times said.
Court documents detailed how the man, 35, twice pricked his 33-year-old wife with a sewing needle laced with his infected blood.
The husband discovered he was HIV-positive - but his partner and children were not - during health checks imposed on them when the family arrived in New Zealand in 2004.
The woman had said she wanted to maintain the relationship for the sake of the children.
But she refused to have sex with her husband for fear of contracting the disease.
In the documents, the wife described how, in May, 2008, she found a sting-like mark on her left thigh and two days later awoke to a stinging feeling in her leg.
She said: "I got up... and I flicked the blankets... I looked at (the husband) and he was wide awake."
The wife asked him if he had pricked her and he said, 'No'. But she later found evidence of "blood sprinkles" on their duvet, which she said her husband tried to hide from her.
During a routine check-up four months later, doctors revealed she was HIV-positive.
The woman confronted her husband, who admitted dipping a needle in his blood and pricking her with it.
"All he said (was) he was sorry. He said, 'I used needles on you because I wanted you to be the same as me so that you can live with me and you won't leave me'," she said.
The husband has admitted wilfully infecting another with a disease and faces up to 14 years in jail when he is sentenced at Auckland High Court next year.
