How to be a Good Bridesmaid
I’d like to think that I was a pretty good bridesmaid. I’ve seen it done a few times and I definitely know what not to do. Some things that I wanted to remember last weekend when I was helping Laura on her wedding day include:
1. Get the bride food, water, drinks, help, and whatever else she needs.
2. Nobody cares about how you look, Randi, you’re a bridesmaid.
3. Divert anyone that causes the bride stress. She’s planned enough things for this day and most problems should be handled by someone else at this point. She should focus on having a good time and being with her new husband.
For me, there were two additional rules:
4. Instruct the bride how to pose.
5. Don’t get dirty/sweaty during the first part of the portraiture shoot because you WILL be in photos later. Photos like this.
6. DANCE!!!
I hope you found this tutorial very helpful and hilarious.

You’re a one woman wedding army! Thank you for taking such beautiful pictures (of such beautiful people). AND for keeping my family limited to ‘moderately’ crazy. You are the best.
