We ask Yorkshire wedding photographer Aaron Morris your burning question...
We want our photos to stand out. How can we make our wedding album fun?
I recommend getting a couple of smoke bombs to complement your wedding colours. They can be found from as little as a fiver on Amazon and they look stunning if your photographer gets creative with them. If you hold them high, it won't stain your dress!
I specialise in couples who are camera-shy, so if posing isn't your thing, I always suggest that my couples go on a quick walk around the venue's grounds. This allows you to steal a few minutes away together from the hustle and bustle to relax and soak it all in as newlyweds. For my style of photography, I get the most authentic and romantic images when my couples have some privacy to hold hands, cuddle up and enjoy the company of their new spouse who they're madly in love with.

A new era of wedding music that's immersive, personal, culturally rich, and joy-led. Few people have seen this evolution up close quite like DJ China L'One, founder of We Run the World, the UK's leading Black-owned, all-female DJ agency.
