ANTI-LOBSTER WEDDING ADVICE - IMPORTANT!

A bride hit by "Red Lobster Mania"

USE SUNSCREEN PLEASE!

Good morning my brides. For today, I want to address an epidemic that has hit destination brides AND grooms like the plague. I call it "Red Lobster Mania" and it has nothing to do with the restaurant, but everything to do with looking like what's on the plate at the restaurant. If you didn't piece together what I'm trying to say, here it is in plain English. Don't get sunburned, it's not cool, especially before your wedding day. Hey, it's simple logic right? But why is everyone doing it?

I understand that many tourists, honeymooners, you name it, all wanna get that killer tan before they head home. Well, let me tell you, that first off, you don't need to bake in the sun to get a great tan. In fact, you can use a very high SPF, and still get an awesome one. Tans are created naturally over the long haul. So if you use a high SPF, are out in the sun casually everyday in Hawaii, you'll return home with a tan. Trust me on that.

Take a look at this product:

This is the best sunscreen out there
"Ocean Potion Extreme Sport 50 SPF"

This sunscreen, sun-lotion, whatever you wanna call it, is the best sunscreen you can get out there. I picked it up at Walmart one day and have been personally been using it ever since. You can too... With this sunscreen, you can head out in the HOT HOT sun in Hawaii, and not get burned. You will still get tanned, but the key is, you will not get burned. It's waterproof and not oily, which is also a plus. Don't worry about the high SPF, you'll still get a tan using this. And another plus is that it protects you from all those other UV rays as well.

While were on the subject of tanning, lets also talk about tan-lines. Using this sunscreen will definitely help you avoid tan-lines, but it's not a guarantee. Avoid wearing clothing before your wedding that may create detrimental tan-lines on your weddings day. In other words, if your wedding dress is strapless, make sure you don't go sunbathing around in a traditional bikini top, use a tube top. Also, sunglasses, can create unwanted tan-lines on your head if you're not careful. If you or your fiance are going to wear shades here in Hawaii, make sure to use some good ol "Ocean Sport Sunscreen" on that face of yours.

If you have a convertible, please, keep the top up, at least before the wedding!

So I hope you see my drift. While I do shoot on film, and that film is very gratious to couples who have decided to de-evolutionize themselves into lobsters, film does not solve everything. Computer graphics, can't do much either in even the worse cases.

Stay cool until after your wedding day, literally....
