I have recently attended a few Bridal shows and also the SWPP convention .
This has got me thinking a bit about an article I wrote for the Local Brides NI magazine a while back about choosing your wedding photographer. Obviously I have a vested interest in this subject but as always tried to give a balanced view. So I thought that at the start of a new year that this might be a good time to revisit some of the points from the previous post with a condensed few points.
You will probably spend quite a long time planning your dream wedding down to tha last detail of flowers, chair covers, dresses, cars etc etc. But how much do you really think about the photographs? After all at the end of the day the food is eaten and the flowers soon wilt but your wedding photographs will exist in a beautiful album that will endure for many years telling the story of your day.
Now I am a realist and fully appreciate that everyone has a budget (either large or small) but I would say that in terms of picking your photographer it is not a good idea to choose based on budget alone. Generally photography really is one of these areas where you do get what you pay for. A good photographer will have spent many years honing their skills. They will have quality equipment and be able to deal with most situations. Importantly they will have public liability and professional indemnity insurance and a range of backup equipment.
The price normally reflects the quality of the photography and the quality of the albums provided.
It is crucial that when choosing your photographer you have a good look at samples of their work and this
should be a few samples of complete weddings. Nearly anyone can pull together a series of decent shots, but viewing a full wedding album will tell you if they can prodice consistant quality for an entire day.
Have a look at the actual albums , are the good quality or do they seem cheap. Are the well designed and put together and is the photography likely to stand the test of time. Its fine to have a few pics here an there
that are very modern and contemporary. But fashions change and you dont want to look back in a few years
time and wonder what on earth you were thinking. Good photography images can be timeless. Do the sample albums seem to capture the fun and emotion of a wedding, in short do people seem to be enjoying themselves.
Now many people make the choice to just ask a friend/relation to do the photographs but this is not without
its own risks. Unless he/she is experienced in weddings and everything that can (and does) happen it can be
a truely daunting experience. Its a world away from simply taking family snaps and its not just the levels of
equipment and backup kit etc that are required. Its actually knowing how to get the best out of it.
I sometimes use the illustration that just because I own a pair of football boots does not make me Lionel Messi.
So it is important that you should get to know your photographer and byuild up a rapport with them. Only when your photographer knows your personality can they truely capture the emotion of the day and create that individual and unique heirloom album

New Wedding Album Collection
I love to shoot weddings in a fairly modern contemporary style simply letting the day flow and capturing the emotion and events as they happen. Obviously I will also take some time for the more traditional classic shots and groups that make up your day. Then for a short time its lovely to take the bride and groom alone for some more intimate, fun and romantic images.
If possible I like to also allow the couple time to just relax and chat with their guests and it is during this time that I will capture many of the subtle details of the wedding. Often couples will comment about all these little things that they never realised were being photographed but which all go togther to make the day individual and unique.
This style of photography means that you will receive large range of shots from a simple details shot of the flowers right through to some very contemporary images , so it follows that the albums should also be able to accommodate a range images .
With this in mind I am absolutely delighted to announce our new range of albums for 2012 and beyond.
Story books offer a modern contemporary album . These are available in sizes ranging from A4 to A3 size
and can have almost as many pages as you can think of. The covers available include Metal , Acrylic, Leather, Cameo and Photographic Wrap.These albums are professionally printed and hand-bound by skilled bookbinders to deliver the best finish available on the professional market. The albums open flat with full double-page edge-to-edge panoramic printing.
Each album is designed especially for you by Colin ensuring that you get a totally individual record of the day.
Smaller duplicate copies are also available in A4 & A5, or A6 sizes.
A Matted album offers what appears to be a more traditional approach but beautiful albums can be as traditional or modern as you choose. Our new range of albums are what we class as 'hybrid' albums. Each album is individually handcrafted for quality and excellence so that your images are presented in a stunning manner and preserved for a lifetime.
Each album page is designed exclusively for you by Colin with page mats and can also incorporate full page panoramic and gatefold pages etc. No-one offers more variety in cover materals, cover enhancements and colours than you can choose from 10 different types of materials (traditional, contemporary and exotic) and over 50 different variations in colour.
Not only that but every cover can be enhanced and personalised in a variety of ways.So you can be assured that your album will be totally unique.
I work with a relaxed, friendly & fun approach which puts everyone at ease, and this shows in your finished photographs. Many couples actually comment that the photographs have actually been great fun and enjoyable.

Orla and Paul's wedding at The Ross Park Hotel
Recently I had the honour of being photographer at Orla and Paul's wedding. Their wedding was held in St Patricks Church in Crebilly (just outside Ballymena) and was followed by a reception in the lovely Ross Park Hotel.
The weather in the week running up to the wedding was fairly typical of Northern Ireland to the extent that we were all prepared for the worst and had altenative venues arranged just in case. The day for me began with heading into Ballymena to Orla's home and as I drove through the rain I was less than hopeful. However the sky cleared and in fact it was a lovely day with conditions about as good as anyone coudl ask for.
St Patrick Church gives some lovely views over Ballymena and the Ross Park is a great venue for a wedding. The fact that the only have one wedding per day means that you have the entire place at your displsal and the staff are really friendly and helpful.
Not to mention the other benefit that it is only about 20mins away from home so I dont have a long journey when the day is finished. This wedding was also lovely because I was also the photographer at Orla's sisters wedding so soem of the guests were familair and its always nice when a family ask you back . It at least gives me hope that I did a reasonable job for them on the first occasion.
Anyway the following is a brief selection of a few of my initial favourites from the day

Orla and Paul at Garron Tower Engagement
A wee while ago I had a mornings fun with Orla and Paul for a pre-wedding/engagement shoot. I had actually the pleasure of knowing Orla and Paul after covering Orlas sisters wedding in 2009 and must have done something right as they have booked me for their own wedding next year.
Anyway we headed off early one morning during the Easter holiday break to Garron Tower school near Carnlough a bit of fun. The following are a few of the shots that were taken

Engagement and Pre-Wedding Photographs
A pre wedding or engagement shoot is a great way to get to know your photographer better. It is a chance to have a bit of fun and try out a few things so it builds a rapport and really helps you to relax in front of the camera, and have fun!
It also allows your photographer to get a feeling for the type of shots you enjoy and it also allows us to experiment a little and find out exactly what works best for you
Lifestyle shoots are very casual & relaxed and fun. It is a great chance to get out in the fresh air go for a walk and get great pictures!
Normally these would be scheduled as a weekday or evening session.
The location of the shoot is entirely up to you. It could be a garden or park. It might be somewhere that holds special significance to you. There are also a multitude of beautiful locations in Northern Ireland. It might be somewhere you go simply to walk the dog or ride your horse (if you have one) . On that front pets are also welcome (though I draw the line at lions and tigers).
Belfast Castle, Carrickfergus Castle, Dunluce Castle, Glenarm ,Various Beaches, Glenariff, Crawfordsburn, Roe Valley, Mussenden, Bishops Gate, Botanic Gardens, the list is endless.
In terms of what to wear my advice is always to wear what ever you feel most comfortable in and something practical. Casual outdoor clothing. Jeans are great, and sensible shoes. Stiletto heels and forest paths are not a good mix.
Dress according to the time of year and the weather we dont want anyone getting frostbite, it should be fun and enjoyable and it wont be if you are freezing.
Rain is not a problem as we can usually find some shelter and can always use an umbrella. Admittedly if there is a force 10 gale and it is blowing a blizzard we might have to reconsider our options. Dont work we wont do anything unsafe, unless YOU fancy your shots abseiling down a cliff!
Sometimes we also use a picture from your pre-wedding shoot and get a 'signing board' made. This can be taken to your wedding and all the guests sign the mounting board and the result can then be framed thus you have a totally unique picture for the wall with all your guests names etc.
You are under no obligation purchase any photographs from a pre wedding shoot -
unless you are so delighted you just cannot help yourself!
The pre wedding photoshoot is the perfect ice-breaker - and a great deal of fun!

Avoid the Stress
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life and you will possibly have spent months and even years making the plans.
With all the planning etc that goes on it is very easy for what should be an enjoyable fun occasion to become very stressful.
However a little bit of planning and common sense can help ensure everything runs smoothly and as stress free as possible.
Bottom line is dont worry, the hotel,wedding photographer , florist, drivers etc are paid to do that for you.!!
Budget:
It is important to have a rough idea of your budget in mind and work out what you expect to spend in each area.Often this will change significantly but it is a good starting point. There is no point is looking at wonderful exotic flower arrangements for the entire bridal party if it would blow 90% of your entire budget.
Planning your guest list
At the initial planning stage try and work out a rough list of guests. This gives you an idea of approximate numbers attending the ceremony and the reception , this may be a deciding factor on where you have your reception.
Visit your venues and meet with the hotel to discuss your menu options and approximate numbers also agree the costs for each menu to ensure you are remaining within the budget.
Decide on your bridal party bridesmaids, best man, groomsmen, ushers, flower girls etc..
This can often be an area of some contention as you dont want to leave some out for fear of offending etc. However you must know who will be on your bridal party before you can start considering the outfits.
The Girls
Dresses can be bought for very little or as much as you’re willing to pay , there are also plenty of places to hire on a limited budget.
Consider the style of the dress as it is important that it suits the bride in particular, however you should also what will look good on your bridesmaids etc.
Not all styles and colours will suit everyone. In all cases the bridesmaid’s dresses complement the brides dress but the brides dress is the most important.
Make-up
I would suggest that you get a professional make up artist for the day , no matter how confident you are it is one less thing to worry about .
A professional will be much more aware of what works and does not for wedding photographs and various skin tones .
It is important that the makeup does not look shiny or this will show up in the photographs. Arrange for someone to carry a small portion of makeup to
allow you to touch it up throughout the day
Hair
Your hairdresser or stylist will be able to make recommendation on a suitable style for you hair for the wedding this wmay also be impacted by the dress you have chosen.
It is worth having a couple of 'trial runs' to ensure you are comfortable with any style.
The Boys
Clothing the men is not really that difficult. Normall the men hire the suits in a sytle agreed with the bride and groom. Sot it is just a case of ensuring htat the correct sizes etc are
got and that the colours are appropriate. If you have decided on special outfits e.g. Highland wear ask the outfitters to demonstrate how it shoudl be worn etc
unless you are confident in this area yourself.
Insurance
I am often asked about my own professional insurance and can confirm that I am fully insured. However it is also worth you considering taking out wedding insurance, it is relatively inexpensive and will protect you in the case of any disasters, which may affect your wedding plans. Many people find it reassuring to have this insurance and there are many different providers who can arrange cover for you.

About - Colin Turtle
Even at school I was interested in photography and like most boys - cars. So I loved going to see car rallys and trying to get shots with my little camera. The I moved to SLRS and began to take people and landscapes (they did not move as quickly).
But it was really just a hobby until I got asked to cover a relatives wedding. That then led to being asked to do some others and it has progressed over the years from there . I now cover weddings and portraits as well as having a decent portfolio of Fine Art Landscapes.
All the information is available on my website www.colinturtle.co.uk
I live near Ballymena, Northern Ireland though I am happy to take work throught N.Ireland and beyond.
A wedding is a unique event and every wedding id different .It is a family day and all about the Bride and Groom so I try and make the photographic experience fun and enjoyable for you and your guests. So while a bit of structure is essential to ensure that your get the pictures you want I try and work in a fun and relaxed style and not to take too long. I also try and blend in a lot and take those candid shots that people are often not aware of. The result is a mix of photographs that capture the flow and emotion of your day.
Your albums can be either a traditional type album or one of the modern 'Storybook' style albums however in either case I design each album individually
so that every wedding album is unique.
You can find out more about my Wedding Photography Northern Ireland Wedding Photographer
I am a qualified member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) and am fully insured.
I also love doing portraiture shots particularly 'lifestyle photography' sessions . This is where we go out on location and take a series photographs in a fun an relaxed manner . These are particularly effective for children where the formaility of a studio can ne a bit intimidating. Let them loos in the park or a woodland setting and they can have a ball resulting in some great images. Colour or the classic Black and white is your choice.
I also have a studion wher eI can undertake classioc portrait shots.
We all love to get out in the country and I love nothing more than heading off with the camer and tripod for some Landscape shots , the weather often does not accommodate. But when you get the right lighting and conditions the rewards can be some stunning fine art landscapes.

Your wedding Day - Relax and Enjoy
You will most likely have been planning your wedding day for months (if not years) and everything will have been planned and replanned so It is important to realise some important things.
Murphy's Law states 'Anything that can go wrong will go wrong' ...Now it is very unlikely that this is actually the case .However it is worth bearing in mind that there is a chance that something will go wrong at some point . The important thing is top relax and enjoy the whole day...there is nothing that can be done at this stage to change anything so dont worry about it. If someone forgets their lines or one of your flowergirls etc does not want to wear the dress simply take it with a smile and enjoy the day.
The weather can rarely be depended on but your photographer shoudl be able to get great shots whatever the weather and no-one can control the weather.
It is important to have contingency plans in place so taht if you have decided to go to a lovely Rose garden which is now under 6 inches of rain you have an alternative.
BUT DONT PANIC
This is one of the most important days in your life and it is usually a really busy day, so It is imprtant thay you take time to relax and enjoy the experience.
It is all about the bride and groom so let everyone else worry about things and simply enjoy the experience.

Weddings - Getting Ready
One of the things that is becoming more popular these days is photographs of the bride getting ready at home before the wedding.
While the thought of a photorapher being around before she has her make-up and hair done fills some brides with absolute terror
this does give your photographer the chance to grab some great candid shots and set the scene for the day.
It is your choice whether or not you wanty the photographer for this and also at what stage you feel happy for him to see you.
However it is worth noting that this is not always feasible as your photographer also has to get to the venue for pics of the groom etc.
Your Wedding Photographer will be able to discuss all this with you and also the timings etc. so that you get the shost you wish but without any intrusion.
It is worthwhile having these conversations as it avoids any embarassing situations for either of you.
The following are some of the shots that help to set the scene
