A wedding is filled with priceless moments you’ll never want to forget. Because pictures help everyone re- member all the once-in-a- lifetime moments, be sure to bring a camera and plenty of film to the next wedding you attend. The pictures you take may be a nice supplement to the ones the bride and groom have ordered from a professional photographer. J The day’s events provide all the magic you need for memo- rable pictures. And, since you are part of the celebration, you will have the opportunity to tell a very special, personal pictorial story of the day. Consider all the possibili- ties for candid shots — the couple exchanging shy glances, talking with friends from school, greeting out-of- town visitors, hugging proud parents or indulging in humorous, spur-of-the mo- ment antics. There are plenty of picture opportunities for the amateur photographer as the guests eat, dance and rejoice. Nuptials also offer a variety of people in colorful clothing, bright flowers, and smiling faces — many of the ingre- dients needed for great pic- tures. Another ingredient needed for great wedding pictures is the proper film. If you use a high-speed type, such as Kodacolor 400 film for prints or Kodak Ektachrome 400 film for slides, you can take pictures indoors, without a flash. High speed film makes bet- ter use of available light during exposure so your wedding pic- tures can be taken inside under existing lighting conditions, if your camera has this capa- bility. The following is advice from Kodak photo experts for taking good wedding shots: To get a series of pictures that tell a complete story, ar- rive well before the ceremony starts. From a vantage point near the entrance, you’ll be able to picture everyone as they arrive. Try to sit on the aisle to re- cord the wedding procession. You'll also be in a position to picture the newlyweds as they walk down the aisle after the ceremony. Throughout the day, watch for candid scenes — the ring bearer asleep in a chair, the best man directing the band, or other humorous moments. Another reason to use Kodacolor 400 film or Ekta- chrome 400 film is that a high-speed film can provide good pictures of people in ac- tion. That means that you can get pictures of your guests dancing and throwing rice as the newlyweds leave for their honeymoon.

For Champagne is known the world over as the wine of wed- dings and joyous celebrations. It is a wine of gaiety and ro- mance that casts its spell on all who partake of it.
