Ideas and Tips for Planning Your Wedding

You only get one chance to have the perfect wedding day, so how do you start? What are some of the important things to remember and plan when organising your wedding?

One of the advantages of hiring a full-time professional photography studio for your wedding, is that they have done it all before! They are sure to have tips and tricks, and are prepared for any eventuality before, during and after the wedding.

AIPP Master Photographer, John Reyment, offers some suggestions that might make planning your dream wedding a little easier.

• Start planning your wedding not long after you get engaged.
• Did you know that venues and photographers often book out more than twelve months in advance; longer in peak wedding seasons. For peak periods, we recommend that you book 12-18 months in advance to avoid disappointment.
• Prior to confirming any bookings, ensure that your preferred ceremony and reception venues and photographer are all available to you on the same day.
• Your hair and make-up and make or break your look. Ask your photographer for a referral for artists who can provide beautiful, camera-ready looks, and you'll be sure to have picture-perfect photos.
• Chat with your photographer about timings for the day before confirming hair and make up timings, ceremony times and reception start times. Your photographer should be able to give you a realistic guide as to how long things will take to ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the moment. Reyment Photographics clients enjoy this type of guidance as part of service to them.
• Allow time after your honeymoon before returning to work to view your wedding photos with your wedding photographer.

Nikki & Luke 29th August 2009

Nikki & Luke's vintage-themed wedding day went off with a splash of flair!


The most important thing to Nikki & Luke on their big day was being surrounded by their friends and family. And, to match the vintage theme of the day, guests were asked to dress up in vintage attire - quite a sight! Nikki wore a knee-length 50's dress, accessorised with a hot pink fascinator and shoes. Luke wore a chocolate pin-stripe suit with matching fedora and a feather in his button hole.


They had their ceremony amongst the beautiful, ancient fig trees at Old Petrie Town, where friends and family witnessed the couple making their vows amongst the rose petals adorning the grass aisle.


The photo shoot was done in and around Old Petrie Town, using the old Fire Station, fields and barns for some interesting backdrops! We truly had a great time, with Luke & Nikki both keen to pose for as many photos as they could fit in before their cocktail reception at Tom Petrie's Restaurant & Bar.


A sensational day with a twist! Nikki & Luke put their own special touches on every element of their wedding day, and each and every detail was personalised perfectly for the couple!
