Don't make this mistake when booking your wedding

Don't make this mistake when booking your wedding photographer...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*** Rushing to book ***⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s all too easy to get carried away when you’re planning your wedding and book suppliers far too quickly. Yes, wedding photographers do often get booked up years in advance but that’s no reason why you have to book two days after you get engaged. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take time to do you research and check out your photographer thoroughly before booking. Browse their social feeds, search for their work online and talk to past clients if that gives you confidence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t sign on the dotted line until you’re absolutely happy with your decision.

My Grandma would have been 80 today, there's so mu

My Grandma would have been 80 today, there's so much that's happened, so many adventures, twists and turns that I wish I could tell her about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She's always in my heart and thoughts, especially on occasions like this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember how hard it felt getting married and her not being there, it's important to remember these special people in your own way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, her picture is tucked safely in a locket, which I wore on our wedding day.

*** Group Shots Tip 1 ***⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have helpers - by having designated helpers for this element of the day will help things to run smoothly. Ideally, you'll want a person from each side of the couple so that they know who the family members and guests are that they're rounding up. So whilst your photographer is taking one group shot, then they are rounding up shot 2 and 3.

There is a part of every wedding day that probably

There is a part of every wedding day that probably ranks as the least favoured part of the day by couples and guests and it's the group shots - and I think this stems from weddings years ago where traditionally there was a long list of group shots, taking up most of the time during the reception, meaning that guests can't mingle and spend time properly with the couple.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So how do you avoid this, and organise your family photos?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm sharing our top tips on the blog⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We've had a few new followers join us recently, so we thought we'd come and do a quick hello and intro!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're Amanda and Hutch - a husband and wife wedding photography duo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food and travelling are a huge part of our story together, we've had some epic trips from road tripping across the US, to learning to cook in the most tranquil town in Brazil. We love hosting family and friends and that's where @hutchs_happy_hour was born - our love of cocktails!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've been together since 2007 and married since 2013 and have been renovating our home for the last few years, maybe 2021 is the year we'll be done! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amanda's favourite part of a wedding is when the couples see each other for the first time at the bottom of the aisle (or part of a super gorgeous first look). And Hutch's favourite part are all the spontaneous moments throughout the day, particularly during the drinks reception and party.

It was Queen Victoria that started a style revolution when she wore a white dress to her wedding. Until that point, brides had simply worn their best outfit or, if they were lucky enough to have something new for their wedding, they opted for the most flattering colour and style possible. The majority of brides still love the ‘traditional’ bridal dress but we are seeing changes – bridal separates, colours dresses, jumpsuits and knee-length designs are all mixing things up. If you want to make a statement, start with your gown.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
