Try and give yourself at least 18 Months to plan your wedding and don't try and cut corners on your Photography, we often hear people saying a family/friend has a camera who has offered to do it for us, which can often lead to disappointment, instead ask them if they could take some nice candid shots to compliment the official Photographers images, as Wedding are fast moving events where timing and many years of training and experience produces the lovely images you deserve! plus after the Cake has been eaten, Cars, Disco/Entertainment, venue have gone, your Photographs are the only thing that will last many generations!
Live entertainment in the evening always goes down well, plus a Photobooth to get everyone up and having a fantastic time dressing up with the props! (Did I mention we do Photobooth Hire! ;-)
A lovely couple who worked in environment health wanted a shot of Bride in pink spotty wellies hugging a tree! lol
