Weddings are a day of love, beauty, memories, and oh yes stress. You try to remember to eat, smile for the camera, say your vows without crying, make sure to chat with all your guests, and warn everyone about crazy aunt Sally! It's a wonderful day but a crazy one too. So among all this try to remember to have fun and take fun photos. Be silly, laugh a big laugh, twirl on the dance floor, and take 7 fun shots like these ones!

This bride definitely knows how to relax and not get too stressed out on her big day. A little drink doesn't hurt to calm those nerves and maybe help to keep your hands from shaking. You don't want to be a drunk bride and slur your vows, especially if you have a videographer! But take a fun photo like this one when your taking a sip from your flask or drinking a shot with all your girls. On our big day I was a little stressed out so during dinner when I was asked what I wanted to drink I said, "A Green Apple Martini Please!", and it really helped me keep my head on and have a great time. **What are some ways you stayed relaxed during your hectic wedding day? **

Make your wedding day an adventure as you take photos in unexpected places like this bride and groom did on a subway escalator. Explore the neighborhood of your venue the week before to getfun photo ideas. Is there a subway or a bus stop nearby, what about a playground where you and your new husband can swing on the monkey bars? At our venue there was an old barn that was no longer being used that had a giant wagon wheel outside. I really wanted to get some fun shots so I put my leg up on the wheel, gave my best cowgirl pose and smiled for the camera! **Share with us your fun wedding photo stories! **

Photobooth rentalsare a big trend right now for weddings and parties. They are a great idea for a fun guestbook instead of having everyone just sign their name. Grab some props from the party store like the mustaches the bride and groom are using in this photo along with hats, big sun glasses, picture frames, and mini chalk boards to make your wedding a day for all your guests to remember. For our guestbook we used the Adesso Album with our instant polaroid camera, the guests loved it and had fun with it during the cocktail hour! What fun ideas do you have planned for your big day?

Do you like to skateboard like this couple or maybe you have a scooter you would like to take a ride on? This is your big day and just because you're all dressed up doesn't mean you can't be silly! You have all your friends and family members with you, a photographer, and a videographer; you'll want to make some memories that you can keep looking back on year after year on your anniversary. Don't let a moment pass by and don't look back thinking you could have done more or had more fun. Put on your roller skates, take a ride on your bike, or his harley, show off and** be in love**! **Do you have a skateboard or a bike to ride on your special day? **

Your wedding day is all about what you want, whether it's ice skating during your vows like this couple, or getting married with Mickey and Minnie in Walt Disney World. Every couple has their own image of what their day will be like and it doesn't have to be traditional in any way. You make the trend and you set the tone. This couple is having fun as they get married on the ice. They will always look back on this day and smile because they did what they wanted to. They are happy and in love, what more could you ask for? **Are you having a fun non-traditional wedding ceremony? **

Many couples worry about the first dance because everyone is watching them. You want to look like you know how to dance and you want it to be perfect. It can be stressful knowing that 100 of your close friends and family members are going to be looking at your every move on the dance floor. So don't let it be stressful and dance like this couple who is waving their hands, jumping in the air and having a worry free moment! You can always plan to do something different if you're really worried about the first dance. Ask your bridal party and your parents to join you on stage for a fast, upbeat song and show everyone what a good time this is going to be! What song will you dance to for your first dance?
