Kiss The Bride Magazine Interview

Recently I was asked by the wonderful people at Kiss The  Bride Magazine if I'd be happy to do an interview about being a Groom-to-Be (for those of you who don't know I'm due to get married in June 2016) as part of their article 'Getting Your Groom Involved in Wedding Planning'.

Naturally I said yes hoping to provide some useful tips as someone in the midst of my own wedding planning as well as being a wedding industry insider.

Kiss The Bride Magazine - Bridal Style Show

I was kindly asked by the lovely people at Kiss The Bride Magazine if I could shoot the catwalk show at their Bridal Style Show at Wynyard Rooms last Sunday.
Having not shot any 'catwalk photography' before I did have to think on my feet a little but came away with some good shots of the beautiful models and the stunning dresses they were displaying.

Vintage Wedding Fair with Kiss The Bride Magazine

So, yesterday was my first ever Wedding Fair and I honestly didn't know what to expect...... but I am happy to say it was a great success!
I was really pleased with the level of interest and response we got at the 83Weddings stall, as well as getting the chance to meet lots of other lovely suppliers.

After a hectic Saturday getting our last few bits for the stall and doing a mock set-up on my Mums living room floor we were ready. Sunday morning soon came and despite our late night run through, Grace (my other half) and I were still on a learning curve while setting up, which included a last minute dash into Yarm for fresh flowers courtesy of Diana Kaye Florist, but we got there in the end.

Kiss The Bride did a great job on the day and the organisation was spot on, with refreshments and cake for guests and the lovely venue of Worsall Village Hall which in itself attracted a lot of interest from perspective brides and grooms (including ourselves). All-in-all it was well worth all the effort and I can't wait for the next one.

When I got a moment to get away from the stall I grabbed a few pics of the fair which you can take a look at below:
