I spend a lot of time here on the blog discussing what to anticipate on your wedding day – I guess that’s understandable as couples tend to be in ‘tunnel vision mode’ with their eyes on the prize i.e. the big day itself! But as any photographer will tell you, the real work for a […]

Lots of the brides I meet – and grooms too, actually – have planning down to a fine art.
