HOT TOPIC: wedding worries Our experts solve your problems www.janephotographyservices.com JUST THE TWO OF US I’m getting married soon, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to look natural in our photographs. What should I do? When it comes to preparing for your big day, there are many things to consider, including how you present yourself in front of the camera. Although a few people will say practice in front of a mirror, I say don’t! You might be surprised by this answer, but the more you practice, the more preoccupied and stressed you may become. Instead, focus on being present in the moment and letting your natural emotions shine through. Hiring a professional wedding photographer is a great way to ensure that your special moments are captured. When choosing a photographer, it’s essential to research their style and portfolio. An experienced supplier will know how to guide your poses and capture your genuine smile. This way, you can relax and be yourself, knowing that your love and happiness will be beautifully documented. So, there’s no need to worry! Remember, the most important thing is to be authentic and let your love shine through your photos. Jane www.janephotographyservices.com SNOW IS FALLING We’re looking for a venue that will be able to help us achieve our Christmasthemed wedding. What should we ask the wedding team before booking? Ask for information about what Christmas décor and lighting will be at your venue. The décor should complement the venue without being too distracting. For example, if you’re planning a wedding in December, a festive feel is the goal, but it still needs to be a wedding and not a Christmas party. Lighting is key at this time of year when the day is short. Think lots of twinkly lights and candles and a beautiful festive feel without being gaudy. Here at The Glass House, we use a neutral white and metallic theme that works well with the venue, and we fill the windows with fairylights that provide a beautiful backdrop to ceremonies and wedding breakfasts.
