An Essex Wedding - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 87)

 A moment of calm What are your top tips for staying relaxed in front of the camera? Lots of couples are nervous about being in front of the lens. We help our brides and grooms to feel less conscious by creating a moment, rather than a pose. We’ll take you away from the action for a while and calm everything down. It’s a great opportunity to have a few minutes together amid all the chaos and excitement to reflect on the day and realise it’s all about you as a couple. We want you to be comfortable and enjoy spending time together so we can get some lovely laid-back images. Your day will be busy and it’ll go really fast, so these moments are very important.

More and more venues are realising the importance that our beloved pups have in our lives and so are becoming pet-friendly. It might not all be plain sailing though, which is where Adventure Tails’ dog chaperone service comes in. We can support you in having your dream wedding, which of course includes your furry friend. We aim to take the pressure off of you and not impose on your guests so everyone can enjoy the day.
