Wedding Photography: Looking back now planning our wedding day was a very hectic time but an amazing expereince and although on the day there are definitely going to be things that go wrong we are certainly exceptionally glad we chose the right wedding photographers. There are many rehersals to a wedding day but there is no rehearsal to your wedding photos turning out fabulous and thanks to Photographic Art we have the most incredible memories with a magical photo album to last a life time and share one day with our children.

Photographic Art made us feel unbelievably relaxed, comfortable and very at home in front of the camera. We wanted to spend the day with people who were professional but also of a cruisy and fun nature to fit in with our personalities and special day. And they certainly reached all our expectations. The personal appointments and communications leading up to the wedding were great taking a lot of less stress off the “things to remember” leading up to our day.

Honeymoon: An amazing week in Fiji.

 

Advice: The day finally arrives, enjoy every moment as its over in a heartbeat and if anything goes wrong don’t stress about it for a moment as remember what the day is really about and thats marrying the person who brings so much joy and happiness to your heart everyday…
