We ask Yorkshire wedding photogrpher Charlotte Elizabeth Photography your burning question...

"My partner and I are nervous about being in front of the camera. What tips do you have to help us relax on the day?"

The biggest tip I can give any couple is to make sure you're comfortable with your photographer. If you don't feel at ease with them, it'll show in your photos. You need to totally trust your photographer – and all of your suppliers. Spend time with them and get to know the person behind the camera. Doing this will help you relax with them and make you less nervous on the day.

Most professionals will offer a pre-wedding or engagement session. Use this opportunity to ask any questions and practice any poses that you're concerned about. On the day, make sure you allow enough time for your photos. Your chosen expert will take control of the group shots and couple's portraits, but you don't want to feel rushed. Having enough time to top up your lipstick, fix your hair, straighten cufflinks and fasten waistcoats can make all the difference.

Finally, remember that you've just married the love of your life. No matter how you feel in the run-up to the day, when you're standing together as newlyweds, nothing can burst your bubble.

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
