Thinking from your photographer’s perspective

Posted on March 29, 2018 at 11:45 am

When you’re planning a wedding, it’s important to think from a photographer’s perspective at times. Let’s say you’re looking through glossy magazines at some beautiful ‘getting read photographs’ and want to replicate the idea and achieve something similar. Well, if the venue you’re looking at in the magazine is a 5 star luxury hotel and your getting ready shots are going to be in a cluttered living room, then you’re simply not going to get the same kind of results.

Many photographers will say they “can capture great photographs wherever they are in the world”, but if the scenery isn’t up to much, the photos are not going to be spectacular. This is why you always need to look at the venue you’ve booked and the places you will be during your wedding day, you can then get a better feel for the photographs that will be taken on the day.

Planning your wedding day is an exciting task, from the ceremony to the meal, then on to the reception. Your wedding reception is the time when you and your partner can finally relax and enjoy the evening together with your friends and family.

Another important part of a reception is of course the food, a buffet with a good variety of options is just what is needed after a couple of glasses of bubbly.

Posted on September 23, 2017 at 10:35 am

It is becoming more common that couples are choosing to host their wedding reception in their parent’s garden. For those lucky enough to have parents with a large garden or field, adding a marquee to host their wedding reception seems the perfect option. Hiring a marquee and having your reception can save you a lot of money compared to hiring a hall or reception venue.

With the additional option of adding glamping tents too, you can create the perfect accommodation for those guests travelling a long distance, and for those wanting to camp out after the wedding. The best part of hosting your wedding reception on your own private land is that there is no curfew, meaning you can party the night away.

Glamping tents and a marquee look great at weddings with an English country theme, simple add in some old hay bales and a tractor trailer for extra seating, and you have created a great scene for your wedding reception.

Posted on August 29, 2017 at 6:25 am

When it comes to planning your wedding, the guest book really is a small detail, however it can be a very valuable item when it comes to looking back on your big day in many years to come.

Guests books traditionally are a leather bound book, left on a table for guests to write in as they please. Many modern weddings have led to creative adaptations to the traditional guest book, one example is a note card that can be tied onto a memory tree, making a beautiful feature to the wedding reception whilst receiving wonderful words and memories from the guests.

Any written words can be used to put together a scrapbook of your special day, and some couples also add a disposable camera onto each table which can also be added to the wedding scrapbook.

Your wedding day should be a day to remember and a guest book provides you with a detailed story of your day, and can be great to show your children and even your grandchildren.
