ASK YOUR CELEBRANT

HINTS + TIPS

FROM A PHOTOGRAPHER’S PERSPECTIVE

Now we photographers LOVE it when your celebrant stands to the side for some of your wedding ceremony. Especially when they step away for that all-important FIRST KISS. It gives us an opportunity to get photos of you both and your wedding crew. There are important times when they will be standing with you, supporting and guiding you as well.

So do ask your Celebrant:

• Where do you stand when we take that first kiss?

• Do you stand with us for the whole ceremony? This can be important as I have captured weddings where a Celebrant has spent the whole time standing with the couple (even during the kiss) and they’re in every shot of your ceremony photography. I had one who once wore bright orange and that was all we could see outlining the couple as they had their first kiss- not to mention the awkwardness of having someone right there in your space when you lean in to have that first smooch.
