Engagement photos are a fun way to become comfortable in front on the camera. Most importantly establish a relationship with your photographer.

You might not think of cake-cutting as a musical moment, but music can enhance it. Especially if it's the right song -- a song that somehow relates to that moment. The DJ plays the song in the background just after he announces the cake-cutting.

Some examples:

* "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You." A great choice, because it connects the sweetness of cake to the sweetness of love, and it's a song everyone recognizes. You can use the Motown original by Marvin Gaye or the… Continue
