Wedding Traditions & Photography Articles
Should you have two photographers?
There aren’t any set rules for each option but there are a number of factors to consider for your wedding day. The size of the ceremony, wedding venues and locations, the number of guests, your budget and the importance you place on your wedding photography.
What is a First Look?
A first look is where a bride and groom see each other before their ceremony. It can be a private meet or it can be done with a photographer and family and turned into a mini event. Some truly candid moments can be captured from genuine surprise and emotion.
The history of Eloping
Eloping historically, however, might not have had anything to do with being in love. Many men and women fled as a way to try to get a better life for themselves. Some did it to escape relationships they didn't like while others did it because they had a nose for money.
Why do we throw confetti?
Weddings are made up of traditions we love but don't always understand. How many of us actually look into the logic of the something borrowed, something new saying? Why exactly does the bride throw her bouquet? Speaking of throwing, what on earth is behind the confetti tradition?
Why a Professional MC?
The master of ceremonies plays an essential role at a wedding. He or she is responsible for coordinating vendors, preparing guests for the next part of the proceedings, and ensuring that everyone is following the same schedule. Far from being the job for a friend or family member, the master of ceremonies is a role best performed by an experienced professional.
The Evolution of the Bridal Waltz
One of the most long-awaited and exciting moments of a wedding (and the most tear-jerking) comes in the form of the first dance. The first dance between the bride and groom is what all the guests have been eagerly waiting for. Not forgetting the heart warming first dances between father and daughter or mother and son.
The Birth of the Wedding Toast
One of the oldest wedding traditions that we still take part in, and almost subconsciously, is the wedding toast. Nowadays, toasting seems to be such a normal thing that everyone does regardless of where they are. It could be at home with a few loved ones over a home-cooked meal, it could be in a bar with work colleagues or it might even be between you and your partner during a romantic dinner.
What is Candid Wedding Photography?
Candid wedding photography is about capturing meaningful moments, whether they're big or small, on your wedding day. Wedding photography has now moved away from the typical staged photos that used to be most common. This means we can help you avoid those awkward photos that don't stand the test of time.
What's with a Wedding Cake?
It's the moment we all love to snap. The moment that defines the wedding ceremony. A moment that brings together and celebrates our two favourite things. Romance and cake! The cutting of the cake is a long established tradition that is seen across a number of cultures all over the world.
