Your North West Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 58)

Our experts solve your problems HOT TOPIC: ESPECIALLY FOR YOU Lots of photographers offer an engagement shoot, but we’re camera shy and don’t know if it’s for us. What are the benefits? ❤ An engagement shoot is the perfect way to combat any worries you may have about your wedding photos. Use the experience to practice posing and to connect with your photographer. Your chosen supplier will quickly learn what you’re both comfortable with and use their expertise to make you feel relaxed. ❤ It’s beneficial for you to see your photographer’s editing style before the big day. Initially, you’re probably going to hate your shots because it will reveal all your imperfections. I’ll be the first to admit that I hated my wedding images, but once I saw the way my husband looked at me, I began to get really emotional and saw them in a whole new light. I didn’t have an engagement shoot, and it’s one of my biggest regrets. ❤ If your supplier offers a pre-wedding shoot as part of their package or as an extra, take them up on it. Your pictures are a big part of your day, and knowing what to expect will make the process a lot less daunting. Jo Greenfield Photographer jogreenfieldphotographer.com WEDDING WORRIES IT’S SHOWTIME! We want some fun entertainment at our upcoming wedding. Do you have any ideas? Have you ever thought about booking daytime entertainment? Often, there’s not much happening during the meal, and guests will try to make small talk, which can be a bit awkward. I suggest you book a master of ceremonies. He or she will let everyone know what’s happening throughout the day, where they need to be and if they need to do anything. On top of that, they will keep your loved ones entertained between dinner courses and ensure there are no lulls.
