Your Kent Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 94)

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT How do we prevent our flowergirls becoming bored, while still having them be part of the action? Keep things fun for them! Practice posing and smiley faces with the flowergirls to keep them entertained and photo ready. Assign a dedicated person to look after them, and ensure that they’re never bored by providing easy go-to activities, such as sticker books and wedding specific colouring packs for those times when there’s likely to be some waiting around. Samantha Adams, The Wedding Crèche Company A CONFIDENCE BOOST 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? On your wedding day you’ll want to be surrounded by people you love and trust. So, when choosing your photographer your priority is, of course, to find one whose style you like, but it’s also important that your personalities gel. You need to make sure you feel comfortable with them. They should understand you, as well as your likes and dislikes, so that on the day they can blend in with your guests, allowing you to forget they’re even there. If you’re anxious, very often your photographer will suggest a rehearsal photoshoot around a month before your big day. This will usually take place at your venue, enabling you to chat about where you want to have shots captured on the day. Couples usually find this shoot reassures them and it builds their confidence in front of the camera.
