Behind The Lens
| Q | I want to book our photographer and was wondering how I can keep the price down without compromising on quality? |
| A | Fiona Bromsgrove says: Prioritise what matters most. Your wedding photos are such an important part of your big day. They're the memories you'll look back on for years to come. When it's over, what moments will mean the most to you? Think about what you'll want to see again and share with family and friends. To stay within your budget, focus on what's most important. Would you like your photographer to capture just the ceremony and speeches, or maybe some special portraits of you both? Many photographers offer flexible packages, such as half-day coverage, that can help keep costs down while still capturing the moments you'll treasure forever. It's also worth finding a photographer whose style you love and who feels like the right fit for you. They'll be able to guide you and work with your ideas to make the most of your time together. A little prioritising goes a long way! |

| Q | What are your suggestions for creative nighttime shots? |
| A | Lindsey Robertson says: Below are my top tips to ensure your night photos are wall-worthy and pack a punch that'll wow your family and friends! Don't wait for it to get too dark, we call them night shots, but blue hour (just after golden hour) really is the best time for these. With that added blue in the sky, you have more detail and interest in the shot. Waiting for it to be completely dark, is much more difficult to capture the atmosphere. Rain looks super pretty with a flash popped behind it, lighting it up. Don't be afraid to get a little wet to get an epic shot at the end of the night! Your venue can look amazing at night, and I recommend a pre-wedding visit at nighttime during the season of your wedding if you can, so you can imagine what your venue will look like at night, this could be another fantastic opportunity to showcase your wedding and your venue in a stunning night shot! Ask your photographer if they're able to do night shots, not all photographer's take these photos, so if they're something you want, make sure you hire a pro who has examples in their portfolio. Finally, consider the time of year of your wedding, it'll get darker much earlier in the winter and much later in the summer! |
