Total1KSharesMy advice ranges from the practical to the more emotional side of wedding planning. And for those of us who already have children, make sure you look out for the section towards the end of this post for the important things we learnt about planning and having a wedding when you have children.&nbsp;That being said…You might dwell on it afterwardsI could quote so many parts of this article from The Cut – go read it!Your wedding day will get ruined, that is, if you expect everything to be perfect. Because weddings are never, ever perfect. It’s a testament to the inherent masochism of the human race that people even associate perfection with weddings.As a photographer, I need to tell you that there is such a HUGE difference between a photographer and an actual wedding photographer. I would not touch wedding photography with a barge pole because I know I wouldn’t do it justice.Wedding photography is a SKILL. Not only do you need to be everywhere all at once to get those all important shots, you also need to have excellent people skills, and the ability to work with large groups and distracted people on a ridiculously tight time schedule. Your friend might know their way around a camera and be able to take amazing photos in their own area of photography, but you won’t get the same quality of photos as you would with an experienced wedding photographer.Reasons to hire a friend as your wedding photographer: 1. You do not care at all about having photos of your wedding day. 2. You have zero budget and wouldn’t be having any photos at all otherwise. The only reason you should hire a friend as your wedding photographer is if they ARE a wedding photographer.Maaaaybe have a venue that was a little less DIY. We did literally everything ourselves – stocked the bar, sourced and organised caterers, even ran our ceremony ourselves with our friend acting as celebrant rather than someone official. It was a huge undertaking, not just for us, but also for our friends and family, who we had to lean on heavily during the wedding planning and venue set up.And a DIY wedding doesn’t necessarily&nbsp;make for a cheaper wedding.If you want more details on our day, you can watch our wedding day video below. And below that is a debrief video that Sam and I filmed in the days straight after the wedding where we talk about our favourite parts of the wedding, the things we are glad we did, and the things we would do differently.Total1KSharesHello!
