In the next instalment of the Wedmother Survival Guides we tackle the Festival Wedding. The invitation arrives, you knew it was coming and you can’t wait to open it. But wait, what’s this? A ticket? In all of the copious amounts of wedding chatter there was no indication it was going to be in a FIELD. In…
Trust us, there are some things you’ll want to capture on video rather than relying on just photos. You might not want a full on videography service, so we’ve checked out a few ways to do it yourself for free. My bridesmaids did the most amazing speech and whilst I have the speech itself it’s…
