Killeen TX Wedding Planner Tips | Smoke Bombs

Smoke bombs have become a popular trend in photos and weddings. Done correctly they can make ordinary photos magical. However, they are also fickle and unpredictable. There are a few things that you should know before choosing to incorporate them.

1. Buy more than you need from a reputable supplier with plenty of time to spare. You will need to test the smoke bombs so that you know how to use them on the big day. Preparation is key. Do not risk them arriving late. If you have extra you can have all of your bloopers before your big day. Also, having extra means that you can set off a chain reaction and do multiple poses to get the best photos.

2. Hire a professional photographer. They will know how to catch the best shot and pose you perfectly. Ask about their work with smoke bombs in the interview.

3. Take yourself lightly. There could be wind, terrible lighting, and people in the way. You will have to take multiple frames to get the shot that you want. Allow ample time for reshoots and enjoy the moment!

4. Buy cold burn grenades. They have a string that you use to detonate them, not a flame. They are less likely to stain your clothing and they are not as hot to hold in your hand for stunning frames.

5. Get approval from your venue. Some places do not want to chance staining walls or outdoor furniture. Do not risk losing your deposit by rolling the dice. Plus, please do this outside!
