Hotshotfoto - sweet 16 Videography, NJ the best option to shoot for Sweet 16 Parties!!!

Sweet 16 parties are much awaited and much loved parties in USA, NJ. Every teen girl waits to enter this sweet romantic age. An age where each girl wishes and says: 

“I wait for my age to fly away,
To go as far as it could some day
I wait for the wings to get on me, to make me fly as a bee.
I wait for the day to rise again; I shall welcome it with a grin,
Yes, I eagerly stop and haunt for my lovely age of teen
As I wait to turn into Sweet 16!”

The age of entering the youth, the age full of hopes, desires and dreams. This is celebrated along with family, friends and acquaintances. The celebration consists of a large party and listed below are the themes that take place during the celebration.





Candle lighting ceremony: Well, lighting the candles and blowing them off is not a new thing on birthdays, but here in sweet 16 parties, each candle holds a specific importance. It is basically the birthday girl lights candle for all those present in the party, to tell how much and why are they special for her. Read on

The first candle stands for the birthday girl’s parents. The second one stands for girl’s siblings, if she is the only child, then it represents her grandparents.
Candles 3, 4, 5, 6 are for other family members. While 7to 14 are for girl’s friends.

The 15th candle is for girl’s best friends or close friend. While the 16th represents her boyfriend or her male friend. The 17th candle is for her good luck.

After the candle lighting ceremony, begins the Shoe ceremony. This ceremony also holds equal importance in a girl’s life. Here, the girl’s father or her uncle brings a decorated pillow and a pair of high heel shoes for her and helps her in wearing them. This represents that she is now growing up to be a woman.

Next comes Tiara ceremony: Here, the girl’s mother brings for her a decorated tiara and places on her head, which means she is now growing up to become a woman. Sometimes this Tiara ceremony is combined with Shoe ceremony. With this the girl can be pampered at the same time by both the parents.

Father-daughter dance: Here, the father and the girl perform a dance on slow jazz music, while all the other family members watch and enjoy the performances.

While booking on every minute details for your perfect D-Day, not to forget to book on a perfect photographer who can make your wedding picture album as memorable as your wedding! Keep in mind these things you need to confirm before confirming the one.

Style of wedding: Decide what type of wedding you prefer. Do you want to go in for a traditional one or you prefer just candid shots. Also if you are looking for glam photography or fashion style photography.  Once you are done with that, take the next step.

Decide on the kind of services you want: Some couples prefer posed photographs, while few would love to go for candid moments too. First confirm your style. There are few who are good with posed photos while others are good with candid and posed. Once you are confirmed with the style you want, half of your picture is done.

Decide the amount of time you want to spend: Some couples love to go in for a complete movie type three hour shoot, while some may prefer just short clicks. If you don’t want your wedding pictures to be a long one, look for such a photographer, who shall be as per your needs.

Usage of your pictures: Confirm first how you want to use your pictures. Do you want to make it into an album or just want large framed photos? How are you going to use your wedding photos is also one of the necessary thing. If you want to gift your relatives the selected photos by getting them printed on the mugs, jars or any stationary for that matter, make sure you tell your photographer this beforehand.

Interview them:  Ask them about their license ability, insurance, sales tax and also if they keep a back up. Ask any and every question that strikes to your mind. Check on their availability too. Also see if they shoot only weddings or even pre wedding events as well. And do they charge extra, if they do so. See for any discounts or any mixed packages they might offer you.

Communicate: Communication between the two is really important. It should be two sided. After you have finalized the professional, talk to them over the phone. Tell them your imaginations and if possible ask them to sketch out the event.  Ask them if they think that the given idea can work, or do they have anything other in their mind? This can help you understand their mood, their attitude, and also if you have taken the right decision.

Penn it down: Make sure, no matter how much you may feel like trusting them, it’s always better to get things written down. Make an agreement after confirming the photographer. It’s not only safe, but also professional.

Well, that’s all for now. I hope you got the tips on what to look in for while hiring a photographer for any event.

See you soon…

Happy clicking!!!
