Choosing Your Photographer & Videographer

There is a vast selection of wedding photographers and videographers available, some imaging businesses offer both photography and videography services, whilst others specialise in either digital, SLR (analog) imaging or both.

Your job will be to determine which photographer / videographer is right for your wedding day. Try to get a feel for the types of photos or portraiture being offered, look at album samples, find out if the photographer you meet with will be the person taking the pictures on your wedding day.

Find out if the photographer will be using digital or analog, and ask to see samples of each. Ask whether the photographer has any package deals, and whether negatives are available to keep (for analog only). Ask how long after your wedding it will be before your album is completed.

Most importantly, make sure you get along well with your chosen photographer or videographer, since they will be with you through the most stressful and fun parts of your wedding day.

Remember that the photographs and video you will ultimately receive, will be a combination of both you and your partners characters, the theme and spirit of your wedding day, and the character and style of your chosen photographer and videographer.

Choosing Your Celebrant

As we have entered the post-secular age, many wedding couples have opted for a Marriage Celebrant to perform the rites and legalities, as well as the exchanging of vows.

Celebrants offer varying services, from fully customised and creative ceremonies, through to standard more traditional ceremonies. Remember that the exchanging of your marriage vows should reflect both your personal beliefs, as well as your creativity, style and flair.

Once again, try to select a marriage celebrant that fits you and your partner's character and personality. If you are having a destination wedding, find out if your Celebrant will travel. Also, check that the celebrant has their own PA system and if music is provided. Find out if you can provide your own music, and be sure to check the format, eg. CD Audio, MP3, DVD.

Your selected marriage Celebrant should also be able to meet and work with you through the initial preparatory stages of planning your ceremony, and be willing to offer advice whilst tailoring a ceremony to your requirements.

Many brides and grooms are choosing to write their own vows for their ceremony. Your celebrant can help you with this.

Choosing Your Florist

Flowers are a poignant part of any wedding ceremony and reception. They are designed to stir both emotion and harmony among your guests, whilst contrasting or matching your wedding attire, characters and theme of your wedding day.

When choosing your floral arranger, determine if they have had experience at arranging flowers for weddings, and whether they can create bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. Also, find out how long they have been in business, and whether they have any references or album samples. Ask about their payment terms.

Find out what flowers will be available at the time of year you are getting married, and whether the price will vary if stocks are low. If you are having a destination wedding, find out what flowers will be available in that region, or if your florists can transport flowers from an alternate destination and what the additional costs will be.

If you specifically want flowers to match your birthstone or jewellery, find out once again if those flowers will be available at the time of year you are getting married.

Every flower has its own significant meaning. Choosing flowers that are in season will lower the cost of your bouquet. Berries, native grasses and twisted willow are other variations that can be used instead of the traditional floral bouquet.
