Family Time
| Q | What is your advice on planning an intimate wedding? |
| A | Aimee Lince says: One thing's for certain with fewer guests comes less stress when it comes to family photo time. But even so there are some common pitfalls you can avoid allowing you to spend quality time with your few and treasured guests, making sure you're all back to enjoying each other's company in no time! Prepare a magic list of family photos. These are the must-have photos that you can't wake up the next day and regret omitting. Try to keep it as concise as possible. There's only so much standing and smiling one can do before it starts to drive you nuts. Designate a photo wrangler. Ask your loudest, bossiest friend or family member, ideally even one from both sides, to be your photo wrangler, and this can't be either of you. Impose a 'no phone' rule. More often than not there'll be someone, if not several people either behind me or over my shoulder with a phone or camera snapping away! This is a problem because everyone in the photo looks at different cameras in different directions and the people in the photo with you won't be happy with how they look. Be precise and in control! It's very helpful to your photo wrangler if you have the names of people written next to who they are, for example, "Us with the bridesmaids (Chelsea, Leanne, Charlotte and Amy)". This ensures they can call out names or ask other guests if they know who or where they are. What's more, you're always going to get one person that will harmlessly pop in and ask for a 'quick' photo with you or another guest, which really does disrupt the flow of the portrait session. Just be mindful not to let your guests, parents or whomever take over the situation, because you'll run out of steam, fast, and it will show in the photos. Pace yourself and stick to your magic list. Remember, the longer we take to get into their photo, or the more demands guests make of you wanting infinite combinations, the less time you two will have for your couple's shots, cocktails and the rest of your day afterwards. |

We're Engaged!
| Q | My fiancé and I are considering an engagement shoot. What should we look for when booking a photographer? |
| A | Sophie Parker says: My advice would be look for someone that understands your style. Speak to different photographers (even ones that have a portfolio you're not necessarily too keen on) and get to know them, seeing what ideas come out of those conversations. Personally, when I'm working with clients I talk with them, invite them to my studio space for a look around and try to understand what they would like to reflect in their images. Also, don't ever be frightened to say no! Sometimes photographers just are not the right fit, and a good one won't be offended and will understand. |
