Cheap Wedding Photography Warwickshire
I don’t always know my couples for a long time before a wedding, but I don’t believe this ever stops me being able to capture the bond between the bride and groom.
How to save money on your Wedding Photographer but keep the quality
Daniel and Natasha had four weeks to plan their wedding. They were keen to celebrate their union as soon as possible after receiving the exciting news that they were going to have a baby.
All couples have a set budget, but I was appreciative that Daniel and Natasha still wanted to capture their memories by a quality photographer. Both Daniel and Natasha were in agreement that they would much rather have a good set of images covering a shorter period of time than a full days coverage with photos they perhaps woudld not of loved. In my opnion this option is Defiantly the best, I here plenty couples tell me they hate their wedding photos and wish they had spent more on a wedding photographer. Obviously not everyone can do this, so a great compromise is to redunce the hours but get the photographer you want to capture your day. My priority for the day was to maximise the four hours I had been given to ensure that I documented the essence of this happy occasion. Natasha insisted that the focus should not be on the bridal preparations, and this allowed me to venture freely during all the wedding preparations at Warwick House in Southam, Warwickshire.
The Wedding Day
It was clear this was a family affair with Mum and Dad working hard to set up the finer details of the room. While the lads were devouring their bacon sandwiches, Daniel was busy working on his speech. Nothing like a little time pressure to ensure you get the job done!
I was still keen to ensure that I captured some bridal preparations and so off I went to find the bride who was enjoying time with her friends from university and her flower girls. I was asked whether anything could be prettied up for me.As a documentary photographer I always find it funny when I’m asked this question. For me, it’s all about being natural and trying to avoid disturbing any part of the day. However, we did have fun mocking up some model shots with the shoes and dress.So back to the rest of the wedding party and their preparations. I never normally get to see details such as the buttonhole flowers being attached or the groom ironing his shirt! It was also great to capture the excitement of the wedding guests as they waited eagerly for the bride. It was time for the ceremony to start which went smoothly until the moment where Daniel went to kiss Natasha. It seemed both bride and groom had misheard the registrar’s words and during their intimate kiss it was clear by the laughter from the congregation that they had been premature.So, when it was time for the second ‘first kiss’ the couple had definitely perfected their pose.
Natasha’s university friends and a number of people from the wedding party were my groupies for the day. Wherever I was, they were yearning for the camera. Was it my charming personality they were attracted to or was it the prosecco encouraging them to do those moves?!
My final few moments with the couple allowed me to capture some romantic photos of Mr & Mrs Bennett.
