In my experience as a professional wedding photographer, I would say that the people who are usually forgotten about when it comes to wedding photos are the individual shots of the parents of the bride and/or groom.

Lots of photographers will definitely include the parents in the photos with the bridal couple, but most won’t think to inquire about capturing group shots of the parents with all their brothers and sisters who are atttending the wedding.

While you’re getting these photos taken, remember to capture the entire core family in the photos and be sure to include any parents/grand-parents of those brothers and sisters that are there.

Weddings are the most perfect place to take these kind of family photos, it is a special day which brings family and friends together to share a common interest. Everyone in the families has gathered for the big event, many times from far flung regions of the country.

Your wedding may well be the first time all the siblings have gotten together in years. And it may be many years in the future before this such a gathering happens again.
If the opportunity to take these group photos is passed over because nobody thought much about the importance of this fleeting opportunity, then those photos may end up never being captured. These photos often turn out to be the most important and most appreciated of all the photos I take regularily at the wedding.

Other important people that most photographers will probably overlook photographing for you at the wedding, unless you give them your written photo request list, are the bride and/or groom’s god parents, high school friends, youth camp friends and groups of the bridal couple’s co-workers.

With these special family photos you have to specifically ask for them to be taken, or they just won’t be done!I’d be willing to take a bet that less than 5 percent of professional wedding photographers today know to get these photos for you.
 
The one thing no professional wedding photographer can do is look at a room full of total strangers and figure out how they interlock with each other just by looking! We send each bride a list before the wedding requesting exactly this kind of information, so that we don’t end up missing anyone of importance.

Remember, wedding photographer’s arent psychic’s. We can’t read your mind when it comes to who among those present on your wedding are of importance to you and need to be in a group photo with you.Make sure that your wedding photographer is thoroughly armed with this often information, so that they will get these photos for you.

You might also help make getting these photos easier for your photographer by asking someone(like your best man) to make sure that the people who are going to be photographed in the special group photos are told to stick around for the photos being taken when the other groups are done…either before or immediately after the wedding ceremony.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can pull these groups together at the reception, because getting them all together at the same time at the reception is one of the most difficult things someone will have to do on your wedding day. Rather avoid doing these photos at the reception altogether, if possible and get them done early in the day.

Lastly, make sure the best man informs all the people to be included in your photos to stay in the room the photos will be taken until all the groups are done. If one person slips off because they think they are done being photographed and it turns out that they are needed for an additional last-minute group request, everything grinds to a halt photo-wise, until someone tracks them down and brings the back.

Hope this helps in making your big day unforgettable!!

Observing the bride and groom push cake into each other’s mouths is a long-enjoyed custom for weddings in Prescott, but there are many more fun wedding cake activities to consider as well.

One more recent alternative that’s increasing in popularity in Prescott is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. This is normally cheaper than having a cake and it can be a good deal of fun. Cupcakes are decorated in conjunction with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are instead arranged on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it’s time to consume them. The cupcakes can be merely handed out on plates to each wedding guest.

You can construct activities into the cupcake presentation. For Instance, the cupcakes for the bride and groom can have a different decoration from the ones for the guests. To keep things interesting, you can have the bakery in Prescott include a special prize in one or several of the cupcakes.

Many people believe that once the cake is cut, they are free to depart the reception if they so desire. Since cake cutting usually comes after the meal and after dancing and other traditional celebration activities, many people take the opportunity to leave the party after the cake is cut and enjoyed.

If you want your guests to remain after the cake is consumed, it is worthwhile to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so people will stay around. As an example, each person could get a slip of paper with thier piece of cake. The slips of paper might give instructions for the rest of the evening or might ask the guest to perform a little dance, to give the groom or bride a kiss, or ask them to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a whirl. The element of the unknown ought to keep the guests guessing and supply some amusement as the instructions are implemented.

Add a little creativity to your wedding and it will be a night to remember for everyone.

Two hearts coming together and begin a life long journey is the truest essence of marriage. There are friends and relatives who gather to bless the couple in this eternal union and during this celebration some stand up to make a speech for the bride and groom. Some are asked to do so and some volunteer to give a wedding speech. Given here are some interesting quotes that can form the anchor for the entire heart-stirring speech on the special wedding day…

Having short wedding speeches is always appealing to the guests and the maid of honor wedding speech is not any different. One should keep the speech brief and refer to the wedding vows made in the ceremony. The maid of honor wedding speech is brief because the audience still has to listen to other speeches after yours just as they have already listened to other speeches before yours. A maid of honor wedding speech should be lively, enthusiastic, and sincere. Saying something favoring the bride is advisable. Writing the maid of honor wedding speech beforehand allows someone have time to go through it and make some corrections. After writing it, you can ask someone else to read it and offer his or her opinion. Having a written speech prevents someone from mumbling and stammering as one looks for words to fill their speech. If you do not want to have a sheaf of papers that you are trying to get in order, cards will work out well too. A maid of honor wedding speech example is as follows.

”Ladies and gentlemen, my name is ______. _____ and I have known each other since college. Since then we have shared memorable moments and her wedding is no exception. _____ has always been there for me. I remember one time when… When she told me she was getting married … Her wonderful nature and patience are some of her wonderful characteristics… I would just like the groom to know that in _____, he has found a worthy companion who will honor her wedding vows and…As I end my speech, I leave with this quote ‘may the roof above you never fall in and may you both never fall out’.”

A good maid of honor wedding speech tries to incorporate all the positive things about the bride but this should not be exaggerated. Keeping a light tone during this short wedding speech will not bore people.

Remember, giving a wedding speech is a great gift you can give to the bride and groom. This is an opportunity for them to hear how much they mean to you. So, follow the suggestions above, get help if you need it. But, overall, have fun and don’t be afraid to give wedding speeches. If you are feeling under pressure or nervous about writing a speech that you so want the bride to be proud of, find out more information on wedding speech format and there are great resources available at http://weddingspeechesforyou.com/

As professional wedding photographers we get the chance to meet people from overseas and photograph their weddings in South-Africa.

Take a couple like Buford and
Tersia who are from Dubai, they got married last week just outside Alberton at a venue called Thornebirds wedding and conference centre.  I’ve only ever heard about
Thornebirds wedding and conference centre but this was my first wedding that I photographed there.  The place is quite small which just makes for a very intimate

setting in which to celebrate such a joyous ocassion.  Thornebirds has amazing well established gardens, green grass everywhere, very tall trees and even a small
riverlike water feature.

So naturally the bride and groom opted for a picnic setting for the wedding reception.  It had been raining since Saturday and the weather bureau predicted rain
throughout the day.

When I met with the couple on the Monday(2 days before the wedding) Tersia kept telling me that it wasn’t going to rain.

I remember waking up on Wednesday
(the day of the wedding) and looking outside my window just to see what the weather looked like, and believe it or not there wasn’t a drop of rain that fell that day. It wasn’t
too hot or too cold, all in all a bright summers day.

Tersia(the bride) being an unconventional

girl, went for a Marilyn

Monroe hairstyle with a piece of net covering half of her face and a hairpiece with white
feathers.

The wedding was peacock themed, so there was quite a lot of coloured feathers and the colours of a peacock involved.  It

was so totally different and really
showed you a lot of the Bride’s personality.

The bride and groom was totally comfortable with me as the bride’s mom does scrapbooking at my mom’s scrapbooking shop so I have talked to Tersia a few times, and
she’s seen a lot of my work there.

Creative freedom is one of the greatest things a bride and groom can ever give their photographer. Youre photos will be even more
striking because photography really is an art form where you the photographer gets to express how you see the world.
Someone who knows both Tersia and Buford really well told me that even though Tersia hasn’t always been dating Buford, that her heart has always belonged to him.

Throughout
the course of the day I could see that what I’ve heard couldn’t have been more true.
They really had a blast and I wish you guys all of the best!!

I often get asked the question by young couples looking to get married, whether or not the wedding venue makes a difference to the wedding photographs. There is no simple answer to this question – it is actually yes and no.

I say ‘yes’ because obviously a beautiful wedding venue such as the many in Muldersdrift, have both beautiful landcsapes and gardens in which to take unique wedding photos. I got married at a wedding venue called Glenburn lodge which I absolutely loved (and still do – I am such a sentimental fool…) but the gardens and the chapel and the whole setting is just so intimate and romantic….. I just love it!! One of my favourite wedding photographs is one where ryan and I are standing on the bridge over the river looking into each others eyes and the lighting is beautiful.

Having said that, I think any photo where ryan & I are looking into each other’s eyes would be special to me, regardless of the background or the lighting or the setting. It is precisely for that reason, that I also say ‘no’ to the question about wedding venues making a difference to the photographs. Well that and also because a good photographer can usually work around most settings and find ways to make the photographs beautiful and unique.

All in all, I always recommend that you choose a venue that you feel comfortable with, that you resonate with and that you really love, for no rational or logical reason – but simply because it feels good to you. Trust me, when you feel good, the photographs will show it and you will be the most beautiful bride and groom in your own unique way.

I wish you the wedding of your dreams and photos that you will cherish forever!!

As a Johannesburg wedding photographer, I am so exited that spring is in the air. Not only is the weather better but so is the scenery and the amount of day light we have. On a recent wedding the service ran late (the best man forgot the wedding rings can you believe it….) and we actually ran out of day light. Such a pity because I much prefer natural light for wedding photography.

The scenery in spring is just so beautiful, the luscious green grass and the budding trees and flowers just add to the beauty of the bride and groom. When the spring rains come it also cleans the rivers, and running water is always great to photograph.

The wedding venues in Muldersdrift also just sprout to life after the first rains. And the rose gardens set the perfect stage for the bride and groom’s first wedding photos. As you can see I just love spring and all that it brings. New beginnings, fresh starts, and beautiful oppurtunities for photography….

Spring just makes being a wedding photographer more exciting.The brial couple are just so much more comfortable in spring as the bride is not shivering because she is cold. And there is nothinng like a summer highveld sunset…..
