Photography Tip: Make Time!

We know weddings are about celebrating your union with your closest friends and family, but remember that your photographs are your way of showing your future children or grandchildren what your wedding day was like. It makes sense to maximise the skills of your photographer and to try and get some really beautiful shots of the two of you. Shots like the ones you see in magazines though don't just 'happen' when you're not watching, they take time, effort and a willingness to work with your photographer. If you want photographs which also look like beautiful pieces of art then talk to your photographer about setting aside half an hour after the ceremony when you can do these. My favourite wedding was a couple in Bristol who left their wedding party for half an hour and got a friend to collect their pet dog. I got some really special shots of them walking in the park with their dog which worked wonderfully to represent the start of their new life together as a family.
