Capturing those sweet moments

YOUR WEDDING photographs are such an important part of remembering your big day that it’s vital to make sure you get the best shots possible.

Once you’ve chosen a wedding photographer, hand over a list of all the special snaps you want.

These could involve anything from traditional shots such as the first kiss, to the unexpected.

Whether it’s slung over a chair or hanging from a tree, a shot of the wedding dress is always a classic, and a musthave photograph for your wedding album.

A snap of getting ready captures the mood of the morning, and one with all your bridesmaids huddled round as you have your makeup applied can be a great keepsake.

And don’t forget to capture the shoes, accessories and garter before they get lost or damaged!

But as well as professional photographs, why not employ the services of a photo booth company?

These booths are great fun and come in a whole range of different designs — from traditional Scottish to vintage.

Also known as pop-up photo studios, these freestanding towers boast a top-spec digital SLR camera, professional studio lighting, unlimited prints...and some even come with wind machines!

Guests can enjoy hours of fun perfecting their poses in the booth and can add their photos to a guest book with a handwritten message.

Most booths feature a prop box brimming with hats, wigs and other novelty items which guests can dress themselves in.

Some have chalk boards where you can write messages and pictures can be uploaded to Facebook for guests to share and tag.

Depending on the company, it might offer to burn off CDs of the images that can then be printed off and framed.

Whether you’re getting married in Courier Country or further afield, there’s a photo booth company close at hand.

But just remember — it’s your wedding so do it your way!

Enjoy every minute of planning your perfect day in the knowledge that you can treasure your collection of unique snaps forever.
