Camera Ready
| Q | We're both a bit camera shy and are feeling anxious about photos on our wedding day, but we also want a lovely album to look back on. Can you offer us some advice? |
| A | Sarah and Nigel says: Planning your wedding is stressful enough without worrying about being in front of a camera! Feeling anxious is perfectly natural, but you will be pleased to know that you're not alone. Over the years, we have photographed many camera-shy couples here at Jane Stewart Photography. Our advice would be to find a photographer you feel comfortable with and have a good working relationship with before the wedding. We meet with our couples on several occasions, have a coffee with cake, a nice long chat, and discuss what makes you feel comfortable and, most importantly, uncomfortable. We always offer our couples a free pre-wedding shoot. This is a great way for us all to get to know one another, building up trust. Let's face it, we are photographing not only your special day but those tiny romantic moments that can feel hard to share, especially on camera. Pre-wedding shoots should be relaxed and done at your own pace at a location of your choice. Most of all, it's about enjoying being photographed while knowing your limits. Take advice from your photographer; let them know exactly how you feel or are feeling on the day. Great communication is the key, but most important of all, relax and enjoy your special day. |

Fall In Love
| Q | My wife-to-be and I are getting married next autumn and would like some photographs that reflect the season. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Tracey Davies says: Choosing a colour palette that complements the season and your preferences will set some of the key foundations for great photographs to represent your autumn wedding day. Warm, rich, earthy or vibrant – all these colour themes represent the season well. Look for reds, yellows, and oranges in the tree leaves or on the ground. Have some portraits taken with these wonderful, colourful hues in the background. Other photographs that reflect the season will be in the finer details of the day, for example, the colours in the stationery, the flowers, accessories, bridesmaids' dresses and groomsmen's ties. Remember that, due to the night's drawing in earlier, you should ensure that your ceremony start time is not too late in the day in order to capture all those important photographs in good light before the stars come out. An additional touch to an autumn wedding is to use sparklers at night, which make for great, fun images. |
