Ten Top Wedding Tips from a Wedding Photographer

DDP_Wedding0233 1. Brides – tell your Dad to get ready in good time. Dad has worked out that if the service is at 1pm, it takes 10 minutes to get there, it takes him 10 minutes to get dressed and 10 minutes to have a shower, so he can start to get ready at 12.30. In fact the photographer might be getting there at 11.15 and leaving to go to meet the groom at the church at 12.15, so there are now no pictures of bride and dad at the house.

2. Book your hairdresser and make-up a bit earlier than you think you need. There may be unforeseen eventualities which require extra time and if they are swift and you are ready early, you can always have an extra glass of champagne.

3. Take the labels off your shoes before the day and before you have had your nails done.

4. Don’t forget to turn your mobile phone onto silent before the service starts.

5. Wedding photography can be great in the rain. Don’t stress as you can often still have great pictures in all weather but don’t get caught holding a brolley when there is lightening about.

6. You can ask the florist to make you up a cheap throwing bouquet, with flight in mind. This saves your main bouquet, in case you want to keep it or give it as a present.

7. Warning: Catching the bouquet can be the end of a relationship. Mind you maybe it wasn’t meant to be and it just focuses the mind.

8. Try not to lose any friends in the run-up. Organising a big event can be quite stressful, so try and be aware of your new stress levels when you are dealing with people. And enjoy it and if possible share the organising with anyone else who would also enjoy playing a part.

9. If you ve booked the honeymoon suite and want some portraits in the room, during your portrait session time, make sure the groom has the key, not Mum, as come the portrait session, Mum could be anywhere and then half the portrait slot time is lost trying to find her to get the key.

10. Make sure the DJ knows your first dance song and even consider taking it on disk, just in case they cannot locate it on the day.

Stunning photos, really capturing the...‎‎

An astonishing talent - Dave really captured the essence of our perfect day in his photos. We went for the high-end art editorial package - we didn't want to skimp on our memories - but regardless of the package you go for, it's the photographer that makes the difference and Dave really did. -- Mr and Mrs F‎

Fantastic Day

Dave DAY made "OUR DAY" very special. We got married at the City of Manchester Stadium last May which was a dream come true. I would like to thank Dave and his team for all the hard work and effort they put in both on the day and in the preperation beforehand. We had to get 2 coach loads of people up from Nottingham and back again for the evening reception so timing was essential. Dave had already been to Manchester to check out the venue to see where we could and couldn't go and to find the best spots for photos to be taken. Dave was in Nottingham at 8am in the morning taking photos of Marie getting ready for the big day, he then travelled to and from Manchester on one of the coaches and took some great shots and was still there at 8 at night when we had our first dance. We decided to have the book style photos instead of the traditiuonal type which i strongly recommend‎
Fantastic photographer, brilliant photographs‎‎‎‎

David began by showing us previous photos to understand our style and to show us what he can do. We discussed what we wanted and what we could expect of him on the day, this was very reassuring to us to know what would be happening. David was fantastic on the day, directive in a friendly manner which got the best out of every photograph. We were very impressed and happy with the resulting photos and would recommend David to everyone.

Wonderful day, amazing photos

When we met David and saw his work first hand, we had no question in asking him to be our wedding photographer. The most important thing is having someone you can trust and who is happy to be there to share in your day. It really felt that David took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we wanted. The photographs David took were simply wonderful, there is no other way to describe them. We have the most amazing record of our day - so many photos to choose from to go into our story-book album. Choosing David was without doubt one of the best decisions we made. Take the time to meet him and have a look at his work - the decision will be made for you!‎
