Top Wedding Tips 26 - Cameras

This is a pretty popular topic at the moment. Guests and their cameras during the ceremony. Yes everyone wants to get the shot but bare in mind your photographer NEEDS to get the shot. I can't count on my hands how many times someone has stepped out in to the aisle to take a photo while I was crouched down to get my shot running a very important photograph.

If at all possible advice people not to bring cameras to the ceremony because it could mean you don't get the shots you want. Many people put a blanket ban on cameras and photos at their wedding advising guests to just enjoy every moment.

Top Wedding Tips 25 - Couples Portraits

If I can give you one piece of advice, leave the family back at the hotel. Don't bring an entourage with you to get your photos taken. By all means bring your bridal party, you can have the bridal parties photos taken and then take some time alone to have your personal couples portraits taken. Believe me you won't regret it, who wants Aunty Brid staring at you while your getting cosy with your beau?!

Top Wedding Tips 24 - Preparation

Preparation is key in the run up to your wedding. It is so important to be organised on the day. Especially when it comes to things like jewellery, shoes, underwear etc.

Ideally, all these things should be laid out and to hand for yourself and for your photographer when they arrive. Your photographer will automatically ask for:

Your shoes
Your jewellery
Your perfume
Your dress
Your underwear
The rings
Bridesmaids dress
Bridesmaids shoes
Any Bridesmaids gifts
Your flowers
Any accessories you plan to wear on the day

If these are close at hand it saves your time and theirs on the morning of the wedding.
