It doesn’t matter if you get married at The Michelangelo Hotel in the heart of Sandton (which is very well designed architecturally) or if you get married at a small country venue called Sha-Mani country lodge and wedding venue close to Alberton, or even if you get married at a peaceful venue 20 mins drive from Glenvista called Thornebirds wedding venue and conference venue.  The thing which makes a wedding special is the bride and groom, two people who have found love and who is going to make a promise to each other in front of their friends and families, and in front of God to spend the rest of their lives together looking after each other.On your wedding day you become accountable for your actions to someone else.  Weddings takes months to organise and prepare for (not to mention a lot of money) it is therefor crucial that you take the time and look for a wedding photographer wtih whom you feel comfortable with and will be able to capture your precious memories in a way that is appealing to you.Make sure that your wedding photographer is credible, with a proper portfolio and website.  Ensure that the wedding photography contract and terms and conditions protect you as the couple as well as the photographer.  Also take the time to discuss everything with your prospective photographer and ensure that the person you are meeting with is the person who will actually be taking your photos.So all in all a wedding is about much more than the flowers, the venue and the dress.  I always say to my clients remember:” The only thing that really matters on your wedding day is that you get married” And if it rains on your wedding day, you will have a long and prosperous wedding… (and if you don’t want it to rain I’ve heard a myth that you should put a broom in the tree and a fork in the ground)
