Top Tips from a North Yorkshire Wedding Photographer
Having worked as a North Yorkshire wedding photographer for so ong and lovedf every minute of it, I’ve got a lot to say about getting the most for your wedding! Here are my tips for planning a wedding in North Yorkshire.
Choose the best wedding photographer for your style and budget
You want to capture the memories of your special day in a way that reflects your personality and preferences. To find the best wedding photographer, you should do some research online, look at their portfolios, read reviews, and compare prices. You can also ask for recommendations from your friends, family, or wedding planner. You should also meet with the photographer in person or via video call to discuss your vision, expectations, and contract.
Delegate tasks to your wedding party, family members, or friends on the wedding day
You don’t want to be stressed out or overwhelmed by the details on your big day. You should delegate some tasks to your trusted helpers who can assist you with various aspects of the wedding. For example, you can assign someone to:
- Be in charge of the timeline and coordinate with the vendors
- Handle any emergencies or last-minute changes
- Distribute tips and gratuities to the staff
- Collect and transport gifts, cards, and personal items
- Help you with your dress, hair, makeup, and accessories
Set a realistic budget and stick to it
You want to have a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank or going into debt. You should set a realistic budget that covers all the expenses of your wedding, such as venue, catering, entertainment, photography, attire, flowers, invitations, favors, etc. You should also allocate some contingency funds for unexpected costs or changes… and if you’ve ever been tempted to get married further afield, don’t forget I shoot Mallorca Wedding Photography too!
