Ring-a-ding

Your Engagement ring was the beginning of it all so why not have it featured in some photographs. Some photographers offer a pre-wedding photo shoot and this is a great time to feature that ring.

Not quite the norm but super cool if your first baby is a boy right? Or if you just happen to be into pop-culture.

This is a bit cute too, one of you writes a cute post-it note!

If your photographer doesn't offer a pre-wedding photo shoot ask them about it, it's a great way to get to know your photographer before your big day. You'll get to practice some poses, and they'll get to know you both better as well.

Summer is a great time of year but nobody likes to "have to" stand out in the 40 degree heat in the peak of the afternoon - even if it is for a wedding.

Why not provide your guests with some parasols? Instead of hiring umbrellas or leaving them out in the harsh rays offer up these stunning white paper parasols which you can buy or hire.

They make for fantastic photo opportunities too. Don't forget to be flexible on hot days, move your ceremony under as much shade if you want to stay out doors and make sure there is an esky or cooler with plenty of water. Tend to the elderly as well, offer them the opportunity to stay in doors and just attend the reception if they are worried about the heat. Same goes with new parents, small babies and children don't take well to the heat. As the bride it's up to you to offer the opportunity to stay cool and be excused from the ceremony - after all, they wouldn't want to offend you.

Change it up

Perhaps you hadn't really thought about it, but this bride and groom decided the first time they saw each other on their wedding day should be a private moment, along with their wedding photographer of course!

Another example of breaking traditions and look at the results. Gorgeous, intimate, honest photos.

Kristy-Leigh and Mark

Kristy-Leigh and Mark tied the not on one of Adelaide's typical Spring days. The weather was undecided and the locals were out in force for the Christmas Pageant but you'd never have known as the guests were captivated by the sweet ceremony.

Signing the marriage certificate

Kristy-Leigh's Make up was by Sam from 'Make up to Shake up'. The bridal party looked incredible and Sam was on hand the whole day to do touch ups. I definitely recommend that if your wedding is going to be longer than 4 hours (ceremony, photo's and reception) that you should consider having a professional Make up Artist on hand to touch up your make up.

You'll be sipping drinks (there goes the lippy), shedding tears (red eyes, mascara smudges and eye liner gone, puffy eyes), you might consider that your MOH can keep on top of this but unless she's going to stop you in your tracks and make it her top priority, you might be better off having a pro on hand at least until the photo session begins. http://www.makeuptoshakeup.com

Always a Mum, even on her Wedding day KL makes her little man giggle.

Other make up tips - Visine or Clear Eyes. All those tears plus the bouquet a foot from your sinus' all day can make those pretty peepers go red so have your MOH stash some eye drops in her handbag to keep your eyes sparkly and clear.

White gerbera's dotted the delicate bridal bouquet and oriental's added a spring fragrance.

This is one of my favourite shots of the Bride and Groom, sharing a kiss under the shade of the trees.

Kristy-Leigh was incredible to work with as she knew exactly where she wanted her portrait photo's. We took less than an hour at this location and captured some of my favourite shots here. I adore these romantic images so much and I hope you do too.
