| Q | What is your advice for a spring wedding? |
| A | Jo Quint says: Spring weddings have a unique charm that sets them apart. With longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures, blossoming flowers, and vibrant spring bulbs, they create a stunning and uplifting atmosphere filled with colour and joy. Whenever you're getting married, one of the big issues that can play on couples' minds is the weather, especially if you're planning an outdoor ceremony or much of your day will be outdoors, the weather can be hugely influential. If there's one thing that's certain about the British weather, it's the unpredictability. March winds and April showers can come at any time of year, so contingency plans are always a good idea. There's no need to dwell on it, but if you have a backup plan, you can relax and enjoy your day, knowing that even if the rain does come, it won't dampen your spirits. I love the drama of a downpour of rain or a gust of wind. It can give your photos an extra something, especially if everyone's embracing it and having fun. |

| Q | We're getting married soon, and I'm worried that I won't be able to look natural in the photographs. What should I do? |
| A | Sophie Askew says: It's important to look around and choose a photographer whose style you love. There are so many different photographers with various approaches and editing styles. Think about what is essential for you and your day, and go from there. For example, I class myself as a documentary style with a hint of editorial; this means that I try to capture your day authentically as it unfolds, occasionally giving light direction to offer the best locations or angles for certain shots while mainly focusing on the genuine moments to tell the story of your day. Getting to know your photographer a little before your day is important to ensure you get along well and are a good fit. After all, you spend most of your day with the supplier right by your side, so you want to make sure that they're someone you'll feel comfortable with, maybe even someone who feels like they could be a part of your bridal party. For my clients, I always recommend having a video call before booking to ensure we get along well and to talk through your plans so that I can best serve them on their special day. Additionally, it's a good idea to book an engagement shoot with your photographer before the wedding; this allows you to meet in person and start making those vital connections with each other before one of the most special and important days of your lives. Picking the perfect photographer will help you feel comfortable and, therefore, look natural in the photographs. |
