Top Tips


  • Candid photographs will make up the majority of your gallery!
  • Plan for candid's! Give your guests something to do after the food and before the dancing. Whether that be a magician, garden games, bouncy castle or drinking games.
  • Talk to your guests. It's an easy one (and free)! All of them will be cracking their biggest smiles when you are around them.
