Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 55)

A TO B Our venue is a little off the beaten track so we’re keen to offer our guests transport home at the end of the night. What would you suggest? Guest transport is often overlooked. Many believe local taxi companies will always be available. But alas, outside of large towns and cities you might find they require several days’ notice. Good quality shuttles are an inexpensive way to have two or three vehicles on site for a few hours transporting guests safely and efficiently and ensuring they’re just as well looked after as the bridal party in their wedding cars. While you should expect to pay slightly more than standard taxi rates, it does mean you’ll have dedicated vehicles allocated to you for a specific time scale. Your venue may know of a local business that can offer this type of service or you can search independent hire operators in the region. We offer a tailored solution to ensure everyone is taken care of and arrive back at their homes or accommodation in comfort. James Whitewood, www.reemexecutive.com YOU’RE A NATURAL We’re both a bit camera shy and are feeling anxious about a lot of photos on our wedding day. Can you offer us some advice? Don’t worry, it’s your photographer’s job to make you feel as comfortable as possible. The chats you’ll have with us in the run up to your big day help us discover what you like and what you’re worried about. There are very few concerns we haven’t heard, so don’t be afraid to share yours so that we can put your mind at ease. What’s more, you’ll be having such a wonderful time with friends and family, most of the time you won’t even notice us taking photos. Occasionally we’ll say: “Just look this way,” then you’re done. Of course, we all want some stunning portraits, just the two of you, so we’ll sneak you away from your guests leaving them to drink to your happiness. We’ll have already found the perfect areas of your venue, so no time will be wasted and we can have a little fun and let you have a little quiet time together too. Fear not, you won’t be gone so long that your guests will have started the wedding breakfast without you! One way to get some fun practice in is to book a pre-wedding shoot with your chosen photographer, either in the studio or at your favourite location. Whatever worries you may have, you’ll have a good time overcoming them. After all’s said and done, what you’ll remember when you look through your wedding album is having a wonderful day together with your loves ones.
