Wedding venue decoration fun and a very helpful photographer
Sunday, 29 March 2009
This week culminated in a very early morning train journey - 6am - in to London yesterday to oversee 5 hours of venue decoration or, as I prefer to call it, venue transformation!
Thanks to an incredibly organised bride and a fabulous team of helpers, the task was made much easier than it otherwise would have been. Nevertheless, the time plan I had produced, complete with details of tasks, time required and persons responsible, became our blueprint for a successful morning.
There was no panic, nobody got flustered and I could smile knowing that the bride was going to be absolutely delighted when she walked in and saw her vision brought to life, and sunshine streaming through the windows!
If you're a regular reader of this blog you'll know how excited we get when we come across suppliers in the wedding industry who share magicdust's ethos of putting the couple getting married first, and who want to challenge the traditional - and in some cases, deserved - perception of the wedding industry as nothing short of money-grabbing.
So, I was delighted to be approached by a Bath-based photographer who has taken the time to address the frustration of many married couples who are disappointed when they get their wedding photos back.
Paul Roland Williams has written an ebook called '5 Questions You Must Ask Your Wedding Photographer' which is not only very readable but extremely useful. I'd suggest making yourself a cup of tea and putting aside 15 minutes to read it as it is full of useful information from an experienced photographer who has taken the time to try and help couples getting married.
There's no sales pitch, no need to fill in any details, just the opportunity to arm yourself with the information you need to make an informed decision about choosing your wedding photographer.
As I haven't worked with him I can't personally recommend Paul Roland Williams, but nonetheless I can and do applaud his refreshing approach.
And if you are interested in working with him, take his own advice and ask him for references you can talk to - it wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't got lots of satisfied couples queuing up to tell other people about his work! I wish him all the very best and hope that we get to work together soon, I have a feeling we'd get on famously.
If you'd like to see if we're free on your wedding date to be your 'On The Day' wedding co-ordinator so you too can relax and enjoy every second of your day and the run-up to it, or you would like to book a Girls Night In wedding planning session, or you simply have a wedding planning question that's keeping you awake at night, please get in touch - we're here to help!
Until next week,
