An honest guide for anyone about to pop the question. Right then. We need to talk about proposals. December and the New Year are basically engagement season.

Let’s be honest. Most couples aren’t models. You probably don’t spend your weekends practising poses in front of the mirror (and if you do, no judgement). So when the thought of a camera being pointed at you all day comes up, it’s totally normal to think: “We’re going to look awkward.”

First of all, congratulations! If you're reading this, chances are you've just said "Yes!" and are basking in that post-engagement glow. But now that the initial excitement is settling, you're probably wondering, "Where do I even start?".

It’s tempting to pinch a few pennies where you can, and budget-friendly wedding suppliers might seem like a steal. But when it comes to wedding photography – the one thing that will preserve your big day forever – bargain-hunting can lead to heartbreak.
