Couples often ask whether it is worth having their photographer there for the morning preparations. My answer is always the same: the morning is where the story begins.
Why the morning matters
Those quiet, slightly nervous hours are full of details you will want to remember: a letter from your partner, your mum fastening your dress, your best friend making everyone laugh. They set the tone for the whole gallery.
A few tips
- Choose a room with a large window and tidy one corner of it.
- Keep your dress, shoes, rings and invitation together, ready for me.
- Build in an extra 30 minutes, everything takes longer than you think.
Most importantly, relax. Put on your favourite playlist, pour something fizzy and enjoy the build-up. I will take care of the rest.
