ASK YOUR CELEBRANT

HINTS + TIPS


FROM A PHOTOGRAPHERS PERSPECTIVE….

Now we photographers LOVE LOVE LOVE it when your celebrant stands to the side to deliver your personal story part as part of your vows AND especially when they step away for that all important FIRST KISS.

We get to capture all of your reactions, your smiles and yes, maybe tears as you get to hear you story as it’s shared with your guests. Then they may step up stand stand behind you for more formal parts of the ceremony. 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. 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.

What your Celebrant wants you to know…

I’ve gathered some great tips from fabulous Celebrants I have worked with
