I have had a wonderful day today!  It all started alongside the banks of the river thames, how privilaged we are to live where we do.  It was only a shame that we were not accompanied by our two dogs, although the time will come when they can manage a 3 hour walk!

Anyway from there I went this afternoon to meet with a fabulous photographer friend of mine, although more on that conversation another day!  Keep watching, it will be very exciting!

I was driving home and the thought came to me.  How often do brides think about the relationship between their suppliers and the importance of that?  I am reminded of the last wedding we did before christmas where bless them, the master of ceremonies failed to realise that it would be useful to have the videographers in the room before starting the speeches.  Having just told the videographers that there was plenty of time to powder their noses before the speeches.  Or the photographer who forgot that their camera which was positioned just next to the microphone on the camera might be picking up all the clicks during the vows.

Now please don't get me wrong, there are plenty of Masters of Ceremonies who are wonderful and all of our photographers to whom we are linked are understanding of the videographers.  It is just worth noting that it is worth talking to your suppliers about who they have worked with before.

One final point.  I make a point of contacting all the key suppliers before your day to introduce myself and outline our approach to filming, this generally ensures we have a wonderful day.  It is a testiment to our approach that so many photographers say they would be only too happy to reccommend us and often they do!  Thank you all!
