PREP
Wedding Morning Chaos? Here’s How to Keep It Calm & Stress-Free!
the morning of your wedding is full of emotions.
People are nervous, excited and sometimes people get flustered...but don't lose your head.
Only invite the people that will keep you calm, keep you a priority and keep the vibes up!
Be sure to be fully ready with time to spare.
I'd say at least 15 minutes before you need to leave.
CEREMONY
How Long Does a Wedding Ceremony Last?
Here’s What to Expect:
no wedding is the same but here's an idea...
12:15pm
guestS arrive.
1:00pm
ceremony.
1:30pm
ceremony exit + confetti.
1:45pm
drinks + GROUP PHOTOS.
3:45pm
Guests called in.
4:00pm
speeches.
4:30pm
food.
6:00pm
evening drinks + EVE guests arrive.
7:00pm
portraits.
7:30pm
first dance.
ceremonies can last from around 20 minutes if you are going for a super basic legal ceremony, maybe even 30 minutes if you have some readings and personal vows. They can also be around 45 minutes if you are having a celebrant lead ceremony.
Drinks Reception Done Right: Why You Shouldn’t Rush This Part of Your Wedding Day!
Now it's time to chill. having a good amount of time for a drinks reception means you don't have to rush around in order to speak to people, you have enough time to do all your group shots. in the sunnier months of the year it's ideal to have around 2 hours for drinks.
DRINKS
Wedding Speeches: Time Limits, Timing & The Biggest Mistake to Avoid!
to keep things on track and everyone happy it's a good idea to give people time limits for their speeches. This saves people getting bored and drifting off and food being delayed.
ow, and my biggest tip: speeches before food.
and never between courses.

Wedding Portraits: The Best Time to Sneak Away & Make Magic Happen!
obviously my favourite part of the day. I leave these until later so you can enjoy your day without me dragging you off when you are trying to chat to your guests. This is a time for you both to reconnect as you may of spent a lot of the day apart and have so much to catch up on. We'll go and find some cool spots around and have a good time!
EVENING
Let Loose! How to Plan the Perfect Party Vibes for Your Wedding Evening
Now it's time to let loose. evening guests may be arriving and some evening cocktails maybe be being handed out. be sure to leave enough time between your evening guests arriving, your first dance if you are doing one and evening food going out so it gives people enough time to dance!

WHAT NOT TO DO DURING SPEECHES
Our photos are everything and more, you captured the day exactly the way we wanted! We told you we weren't always comfortable in front of the camera, and I can honestly say we have never felt more comfortable! We didn't even know you were there!
So much fun was had, the best guys to hang out with on our fab day!
CHARLOTTE + JOE
"Mark -
you have totally outdone yourself!"
Neither of us were very comfortable in front of a camera (or so we thought) and Mark kept saying it’s the job of a good photographer to make us feel comfortable, and to trust him, and omg he was right.
We felt SO comfortable and loved how Mark kept the photos candid but with slight direction, he was our hype man but most importantly he let us be ourselves.
CHARLOTTE + LUKE
|"we cannot thank you enough Mark. we could not be happier with our wedding photos!"
Mark! Where do we even begin! Truly the BEST!
Our photos exceeded all our expectations & haven’t stopped looking at them since...every person we meet comments on these bad boys and they blew our minds! Finding a wedding photographer is hard but from first meeting we knew Mark was the guy for us!
If you want mind blowing photos & to hang with one of life’s cool guys on your wedding then run, don’t walk to the booking page!
You won’t regret it...BELIEVE THE HYPE!
STEPH + COLM
"a certified legend who had the perfect chill-professional vibe."
From the very first time we spoke to Mark and saw his work, we knew we had found our photographer. Mark is so easy to work with and ensured that he knew everything we wanted before the day. On the day Mark guided guests perfectly and during the socialising and partying Mark blended into the background to ensure he got the most natural shots. Mark managed to get a preview gallery over to us in under a week which is incredible by itself, but when you look at the pictures our minds were blown.
ANOUSHKA + MATT
"book this man while you still can!"
Mark is incredible! We wanted amazing photos but we didn’t want to spend all of the wedding day trying to get them.Mark had an amazing talent of getting ALL the shots, making you look and feel banging but we hardly noticed him with a camera!He just felt like our mate at the wedding!
Couldn’t recommend him enough!!!
I would also recommend a second shooter - it’s definitely worth it.
BOOK MARK AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!
ABBIE + JAMES
"he just felt like a mate at the wedding!"
