Wedding gifting etiquette - your guide from the experts
When it comes to wedding planning, there is so much to think about, the same goes for wedding...
Ashford-based, Photography by Lisa, has won best newcomer at the Kent Wedding Awards!
Lisa adds, "My ethos is all about being personal, I don't view myself as a company but as a storyteller for people's life moments. As a friendly female photographer, my mission is to always be there for my clients, providing a supportive and comforting presence on their special day. I'm dedicated to capturing the beauty of each unique wedding and preserving the emotions of the day through my images. Every wedding is a unique and special occasion, and I pride myself on my ability to adapt to each event. Whether it's a traditional ceremony or a more unconventional celebration, I have the experience and expertise to capture the essence of the day in a way that reflects its distinctive character.
"With a keen eye for detail, I can capture the grand moments and intricate moments that make each wedding special. From the smallest decorations to the most heartfelt glances, I ensure that every aspect of their special day is documented for them to cherish for years to come.
"My main goal is to tell the story of a wedding day through the emotions of all the people involved. I blend into the background, working unobtrusively to document the genuine, candid moments that truly reflect the essence of the special day. By focusing on the emotions and connections between people, I can create a visual story that is both poignant and timeless. I believe that photography should be an enjoyable and stress-free part of the wedding day. That's why I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing them and their guests to be at ease and fully enjoy the celebrations. By blending in seamlessly, I can capture the true spirit of the wedding and create a collection of images that will be treasured for a lifetime.
"I'm different from the other photographers as I believe I'm there for my couples, it's not a photo shoot I allow the couple to lead the day and I just give a gentle hand with prompts to capture the beauty of them both and help them see their own beauty Weddings can be chaotic and stressful, but my ability to multitask ensures that I can handle even the most challenging situations with ease. As a single mum to three daughters and a previous driving instructor, I am adept at managing my time and resources effectively, allowing me to capture all the important moments without missing a beat. A can handle many things with ease and this transfers to the couple to help them stay relaxed on the day.
"I also bond with my couples through the months from initial contact to the wedding getting to know them so I can get the best relationship for the wedding day, this includes unlimited messages emails calls, and meet ups, if my couple is shy I encourage numerous free sessions to help get them used to being photographed, I send questionnaires before the pre wedding meet up so I get to know them as a couple with some fun questions about them and relationship then with photo prompts i use fun and laughter rather than model style poses.
"My favourite saying is: Your photographs should be about your wedding, not the wedding is about the photos The most valuable aspect of the service I offer to wedding clients is the personal connection and dedication I provide throughout the entire process. I am always available to my clients any time of day, ensuring that they can reach me whenever they have questions or concerns. This constant communication helps us create a strong relationship and bond, so on the wedding day, they don't feel like I'm imposing or intruding on their special moments.
"As a mum, I understand how important memories are, and I approach each wedding as if it were my own daughter's big day. I aim to capture the true magic and emotion of the event, preserving those precious memories for a lifetime. This level of care and commitment allows me to deliver a unique and personalized service that sets me apart from other professionals in the industry."
