Most brides and grooms spend months of planning for their special day, making sure every single little detail is perfect. Then on the day, they are usually too busy to take it all in! The day goes so fast and before you know it, it’s time to leave the reception with your new spouse. If you had a videographer though, the highlights, the things that made you laugh, the things you didn’t even see on the day, your friends and family celebrating with you, your vows, the toasts, plus all of the little things that came together so well on the day, can be watched later and relived as often as you please. Plus if you have close family that can’t make it to your wedding, what nicer way than to surprise them with highlights of your wedding so they can share your experience. While your photographer will take those all important photos for your wedding album, your videographer will be capturing everything in between.

TRANSPORT

Transport can be as simple as decorating the best cars you, your friends and family have to offer, or as unique and charming as a horse drawn carriage, fleet of vintage cars, BMW convertibles, Chrysler 300C’s or a stretch limousine. But it doesn’t end there; buses, motorbikes and even helicopters have been used to create an awe inspiring entrance. Arrangements to and from the wedding ceremony usually only differ in that afterwards the bride and groom will travel together. Organising wedding transport is usually a task that the groom, best man or groomsmen organise. With a number of different styles of vehicles available, you should have no trouble choosing one that reflects your overall wedding theme, however book as early as possible as they are popular and you don’t want to be disappointed.

CATERING

There’s one thing guests always remember about a wedding - the food and drinks! Caterers are very versatile and can work just about anywhere you want them to. They can offer a buffet or smorgasbord style presentation to full silver service. Their service usually includes the preparation and serving of food and/or drinks, the provision of cutlery and crockery and the cleaning up afterwards, yay!

It can often prove difficult to meet all the needs of your guests nowadays with the prevalence of food allergies and intolerances; gluten-free, lactose-free, meat-free, dairyfree, are just some of the common requests which need to be respected. So it’s more important than ever to choose a caterer you are confident with, allowing you and your guests to relax and enjoy the party. Food truck catering is now also very popular at weddings. Offering unique gourmet food, they’re a great idea if you’re organising your own catering. Dishing up unique and creative fare that tick all the boxes, they come to your address, feed your guests, then pack up easily once done.

RECEPTIONS

You’ve said your ‘I do’s’, now it’s time to celebrate! There are limitless possibilities when it comes to selecting your wedding reception venue. Regardless of whether you choose to have a traditional or modern wedding, pick a reception venue that will suit the formality, theme and ambience of your wedding.

A honeymoon has traditionally been the time when newly married couples relax and recuperate after their wedding. Often taken in exotic or romantic locations it allows the newly married couple to enjoy an intimate holiday together before returning to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Some couples with busy schedules or budget constraints may choose to just have a ‘mini moon’ which is a short trip taken to a destination relatively nearby, leaving the honeymoon to a later date when they have the time and budget. Whether a honeymoon or mini moon, reservations should be made as soon as you start planning your wedding, particularly if the destination will be experiencing it’s peak season at the time of your getaway.

Before you embark on your honeymoon, it’s a good idea to choose somewhere special to stay on your wedding night; preferably close to your reception as you may not feel like travelling too far. While that gorgeous little cottage in the woods may seem like the ideal ‘ first night’ spot; after a two- hour drive, you will probably just want to go to sleep!

HONEYMOON & ACCOMMODATION

Flowers, chocolates, champagne and a spa bath can make your first night together as a married couple extra special, and many accommodation venues provide these as part of their special honeymoon packages.

PORTUGAL

Dreaming of a destination wedding? Portugal has it all: from beautiful golden beaches to quaint cobblestone villages to majestic medieval castles.

One of the oldest countries in Europe, Portugal’s location on the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of its culture, including its National dishes of salted cod and grilled sardines. A vibrant destination where the hospitable locals all speak English, you will fall in love with Lisbon’s strip of beaches, museums and castles; Porto’s wine-tasting tours and cruises down the Douro River; Sintra for it’s Palaces; and Nazaré renowned for the biggest and some of the best waves in the world. If a romantic destination wedding is your dream, be it in a 15th century manor surrounded by vines in the countryside, or an 18th century palace in Lisbon or Porto, then a wedding in Portugal is highly recommended.

Photography is something that grew with me and within me, until it became inevitably my profession. It is with passion and total dedication that I try to eternalize all moments I capture.
