Wedding Morning Prep

There are loads of ways to spend your wedding morning — and being stressed out shouldn’t be one of them.

Some couples keep things traditional, with separate rooms and a big reveal at the ceremony. Others go for a first look, a quiet moment together before you get hitched, or even a little touch around a corner. Some have peace and quiet, while others are surrounded by their loudest mates, children, animals, music, drinks, etc — absolute chaos!

However you want to spend your morning, I won’t turn it into a photoshoot. I’ll capture the laughs, the nerves, the people you’ve chosen to have around you and all those little moments you’ll probably forget happened. And I’ll probably get involved too. I’m pretty skilled at doing dress hook-and-eyes in a rush (they take longer than five minutes, ladies!) and I’m a bloody brilliant Windsor knot tier. Basically, I’m useful in a wedding morning crisis, especially getting people laughing with my banter!

It’s also a good chance for me to figure out who everyone is and who’ll be holding up the bar or hiding when it’s time for group photos.

You don’t have to wear a traditional wedding dress or suit for your day to be perfectly, just you! Whatever you’re wearing, I’ll capture the little touches you’ve obsessed over and the things that are unique to you.

The wedding morning gives me a good chance to gather pics of the rings, the shoes, the flowers, the cufflinks, the jewellery, the ridiculous socks, the stationery — all those little things you’ve chosen, designed and obsessed over that make your wedding yours. Put them all in a corner for me, and I’ll photograph them whilst you chill with your mates.

And yes, the asterisk is intentional. Your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s — it’s better that way!
