Wedding photographers gripe about strapless gowns because they look best shot from straight ahead, which is problematic, as the bride is constantly moving. "Strapless gowns should be outlawed,'' declares Meg Smith of Napa, one of the Bay Area's most sought-after wedding photographers (http://www.megsmith.com)/. "Because even the dresses by the best designers often do not fit properly. They're either too big and the bodice is like a shelf sticking out inches away from the body, or they're too tight and you get that extra layer of flesh just bulging out.'' Then there's all that readjusting. "The brides do this thing where they grab the top of the dress with their thumbs, pull it up and then do this hip shaking thing,'' Smith says. This activity does not a good picture make. And besides, she continues, "strapless gowns are boring.'' Through her lens, Smith says she'd rather see a dress with a beautiful sash or intricate lace or embroidery. "A strapless gown is not very playful, individual or different.''
