Choosing your wedding photographer is an important decision. I’d actually argue that it’s as important as selecting the wedding venue and even the dress!

After all, while the day will come and go, it’s the wedding photos that will be the lasting reminder of your special day. So, it’s really important that you find the perfect wedding photographer for you. Continue reading

 You’ve planned your wedding day to the T. You’ve sorted everything.

• Everyone knows where they need to be, what they need to do.
• You and your partner have rehearsed your lines for the ceremony.
• The wedding day arrives and your dress, hair and makeup is en-pointe.

All is going well. But then, dark clouds appear overhead and the heavens open!

The pre-ceremony ‘Bridal Prep’ is definitely one of my favourite aspects of a wedding day.

I really enjoy photographing my brides as they are getting ready for their wedding. Surrounded by their mum, close family and bridesmaids, it’s a really exciting part of the day.

Everyone is nervous with anticipation and spirits are high.

But one thing that is sure to kill the atmosphere and add a lot of unnecessary stress to your day is if you are getting ready for your wedding day, at a venue that isn’t your home, and then realise you forgot to pack something.

Arghhh!!!!

Avoid this common mistake on your wedding day

That moment when it dawns on you that you haven’t packed your favourite lipstick, a needle and thread, a pair of scissors, or that special piece of jewellery that you were planning to wear is just terrible to watch.

The brides face sinks and panic sets in! Believe me, I have photographed so many weddings over the past ten years and have seen this happen a lot.

What to pack for your wedding day

So, to help you avoid making the same mistake, I have created a wedding day packing checklist, which is free and available for you to download below.

You have so much to think about as your big day approaches, so I hope this will help you keep calm and feel in control.

It’s a list of everything you may need on your wedding day. So use it as you prepare your overnight bag and cross things off before you head to the venue or wherever you are getting ready for your ceremony.

If you do, you can then be confident that you have everything covered.

Back in sunny September, I had the privilege of photographing Louise and Kurt’s special day.

I first met these guys 5 weeks before their big day. They had left it a bit late to book their photographer. Luckily for them, it was the only Saturday in September that I wasn’t shooting a wedding!
