Hints & Tips
1.Your venue
When choosing your venue for the ceremony or reception, look at the surroundings as these will be backgounds to some of the photos. Also remember that the time of the year and the time of the ceremony will make a huge difference to how much natural light the photographer has.
2. Make time for the photographs
When planning your wedding allow 2 hours between the end of the ceremony and the start of the meal, its not that the photography will take that long, but you have to allow time to chat with guests who will all want to congratulate you and to say hello to friends who may not be going to the reception.
3. Be ready on time
Before your wedding we'll chat about all that's going to happen, so that we are all in the right place at the right time. If you start running late I won't have time to take all the photographs that you'd like.
4.Allow extra time
A good idea is to allow time for unforeseen hold-ups. What happens if you get stuck in traffic from the nail bar or hairdresser. If you’re traveling to have your hair or make-up done, it’s best to allow more time than normal. The last thing you want is to be stressed because you’re running late.
5. Ushers
Helping to organise your guests for the photographs is a really important role. So try to choose ushers who know as many guests as possible between them and who can exert some authority and get things moving when necessary.
Alternatively I recommend using an experienced toastmaster
6.Don't worry if your dress gets dirty
Every bride wants to be perfect when they make their big entrance but the very nature of a wedding dress means that every single speck will show.
You’ll inevitably pick up the odd mark. Please don’t let it worry you.
7.Relax & enjoy yourself
Now the day has arrived its time to stop worrying and let go, relax and enjoy the day.
What will be will be. Your photos will all look so much better if you are happy and enjoying everything and remember this is your day.
