It’s always nice to know what you’re in for when you have your wedding photos done as this will prepare you mentally. Important questions to consider prior to your big day would be what style of photos you prefer as this can be either traditional, spontaneous, arty etc. Another question would be whether you’d prefer colour, sepia or black and white photos; with or without frames or a mix of everything. This all needs to be discussed with your wedding photographer before the wedding day - besides the fact that he/she needs to know what your preferences and requirements are, the photographer can give you some guidance and advice on must-have shots so that the photos you imagine can take on real life form.

Although there are so many hair styles to choose from, keep in mind that you’ll have to look at these photos for ever, so I would advise against anything very different or extreme (the kids will probably just tease you about this later!). If you want your wedding photos to be timeless, go for a classic, simplistic hair style that would be easy to manage throughout your photo shoot and day.

Its important to have a trial run with your make-up to avoid last minute disappointment. You know what you feel comfortable with, again, this needs to suit your personality. You want to mingle with your guests feeling comfortable and self assured. Your wedding make-up should compliment you, not change you - rather keep it natural and fresh.

Keep the main thing the main thing - firstly you need to feel comfortable and most importantly be yourself so that your unique personality would reflect on the photos. But a girl needs all the help she can get and if a few props will help you to relax and have fun – why not! Take some props with or ask the photographer to supply some interesting objects that you can use during your photo shoot, for example a hat, colourful sarong (that will double up to keep your dress clean in case you have to get down and dirty), a wedding invitation, your garter, a cigar for the groom etc . Give your photographer some healthy attitude and the right tools to be creative.

We so often invest our precious time in things that won’t last – yes, its important that you look absolutely breathtaking but besides looking beautiful, the photo shoot takes priority as this is what you would take with you long after the champagne has lost its bubble. You can either shy away and lose out on stunning memories or you can forget yourself, go beyond yourself and have fun!

Honeymoon
Honeymoon is synonymous with privacy and intimacy and a honeymoon suite offers both these elements to the couple who can afford to book a suite. A honeymoon suite is next only to a presidential suite and this shows the importance given to a honey moon suite.

There are different features of a honeymoon suite and the hotels try to compliment the honeymooners by offering several facilities. This is to help the couple get the relaxation and intimacy intended during honeymoon. The primary feature of a honeymoon suite is the king or queen sized bed which is a natural necessity during honeymoon. Some of the honeymoon suites may have a giant four poster beds like in medieval times, depicting the life of a king and maiden.

The hotels attempt to offer the ultimate in luxury and relaxation by offering a double size Jacuzzi that is large enough to fit two people at a time. Jacuzzi hot tub is large enough to allow two people enjoy the hot swirling water. Since the Jacuzzi offers a light swirling motion, it gives a pleasing and relaxing experience to the muscles and the mild heat of the water allows the couple to relax and enjoy the Jacuzzi longer.

Most of the honeymoon suites in hotels have an added facility of allowing the couple to relax while offering a breathtaking view. This view adds to the glory and serenity of the surroundings and gives blissful experience. Private spa is another prominent facility offered in a honeymoon suite. Honeymoon suites are designed with relaxation as the main objective and a private spa gives them the opportunity to pamper themselves and helps the couple find solace after a long day of hectic travel and relieve the pressures of life.

When a private spa coupled along with an aromatherapy massage is experienced, it helps to do wonders for the couple and prepare themselves for a great dinner. Since it is a known fact that aromatherapy works both on the body and the mind, it undoubtedly helps to raise the spirits of the honeymoon couple in a very positive way.

An aromatherapy massage is essential for a honeymoon couple and even if it is not offered in the hotel a private spa relieves the necessity to enjoy it without leaving the honeymoon suite. A common feature of a honeymoon suite is twenty four hour room service and having access to refresh eatables or quench their thirst or hunger with the buzz of a button makes the stay in a honeymoon suite more comfortable and enjoyable.

Generally, honeymoon couples tend to spend more, just for the sake of forgetting all the tensions and enjoying the life and a honey moon suite guarantees just that. A honeymoon suite sees to it that the couple never forgets the experience of staying in a honeymoon suite and the suite itself.



Wedding photographer
I have recently shot my fiance’s brothers wedding and it was perfect. The job, the adrenaline, the pictures (and of course the wedding!). I want to do this more, to create a business from this experience. Where do I get started though? I have already asked family members to keep me mind if anyone asks about a wedding photographer, but what else do I do? I’m on a tight budget so I can’t create a website (yet anyway) though I do have a portfolio printed I can show. Any tips?

Wedding music
We are looking for some ‘cheery’ classical music for before our civil wedding. This is for when guests are arriving and waiting for the bride to arrive.

We want something light and not too dominating and that may fit in with the slightly medieval barn that the wedding will take place in. Being a civil wedding it can be in no way religious.

To give you the gist, we are having Pachabels’ Canon for the entrance music and the Hornpipe from Handel’s Water Music Suite for the exit. Any suggestions?
