It’s notjust the ring that lasts, either.The rings and other jewellery – theearrings, bracelets and necklaces – will beunder a bright spotlight on your weddingday, so when you’re choosing it you’llneed to decide how it fits in with theshape, style and colour of your dress, andThe Pandora rangeof rings for womenis a wealth ofbeautiful gemstonesand preciousmetals combinedwith fabulousdesignPHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/FORMAT35SparkleshineYour wedding jewellery adds the finishing touches – and can bring back memories foryears to come074-075_Layout 1 18/05/2015 11:27 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY75WEDDINGS - JEWELLERYthe general theme of your wedding. Asusual, you don’t have to keep to traditionand if you think it’ll work for you thendon’t worry about the conventions, justgo ahead! If you’re going for a strapless dressthen the choice of jewellery should bealmost limitless. You can choose from awide range of different styles with yourbare shoulders and neck providing theperfect canvas. Whatever dazzles willimmediately catch the eye so you’ll getextra sparkle.If you’ve chosen a spaghetti-strapdress, the necklace should work togetherwith the straps. Halter neck dresses,though, would tend to overshadow anecklace as the neckline alone is enough– so the glamour and dazzle in theseinstances will probably come fromearrings and bracelets.Vintage-inspired jewellery would beparticularly good for the more traditionalsilk or satin gowns, or those adornedwith lace. This is also the perfect chanceto wear some much-loved family itemsthat has been passed down through thegenerations. If you’re buying afresh,pearls have become popular in recentyears with designers focusing on purityand flowing shape of simple materials ofdresses. These designs can easily beovershadowed by a large cluster ofdiamonds but that’s not the case withpearls which serve as a wonderfulaccompaniment.

You’llstill need someone you can rely on to get allthe important shots and to get them right.Even if you know one of your guests ispretty useful with a camera you’re well advisedto get in a professional photographer. Yourguest already has a role in the proceedings –to be a guest! You don’t want an importantmoment to be missed while they’re at the bar– and similarly it doesn’t seem very fair on aguest to ask them to work all day. Even if theydon’t mind doing it, wedding photography isa totally different discipline to other aspects ofphotography and they may be totally unawareof what they’re expected to shoot and how todo it.You’re in thepictureImages of your wedding will need to last alifetime – so don’t leave them to chance…PHOTO COURTESY CHRIS LYNN PHOTOGRAPHYYou’re in thepicture076-077_Layout 1 18/05/2015 11:30 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY77WEDDINGS - PHOTOGRAPHYProfessional photographers have vast experience in shootingweddings so know exactly how to get the best shots with theminimum of fuss. The best have that fantastic skill of alwaysbeing in exactly the right place at the right time, thendisappearing when they’re not required. The chances of guestshaving their view obscured by a lighting rig, or having to keepa rictus grin up for about half an hour during a never-endingphoto session, are greatly reduced.These days there are few limits on how many photos can betaken, and there’s no need to wait until the film’s developed tosee the results, so the chances of duff photos ending up in youralbum are greatly reduced. The album is certainly no longer theonly record of the event, but most people still decide that adefinitive, lavishly produced document with the very best shotsis probably a better option than a thousand similar photos on amemory stick.Using a professional photographer doesn’t mean your guestswon’t have the opportunity to take their own shots and it’scertain some of them will be absolutely fantastic. Ensuring youhave a dedicated professional on hand, though, means nothingis left to chance.PHOTO COURTESY CHRIS LYNN PHOTOGRAPHYPHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/VIPUBADEETel: 01472 809815 Mobile: 07500 213393www.chris-lynn.co.ukYour Day……Your PhotographerThere is no such thing as a typical wedding.

There’scertainly no danger of the ceremony being halted for endlessretakes.Nowadays it’s also easy to edit it into something special. Whileyou may be thrilled to watch the entire ceremony again andagain, you could also create a director’s cut of assorted highlightswhich may be a bit more interesting for some of the guests. Youcan obviously divert wildly from the norm and create somethingvery much out of the ordinary, editing things in different waysand producing a more impressionistic portrait of the day thatcould well make for romantic viewing over and over again.Don’t forget, though, that some potential guests who weren’table to attend may be looking forward to seeing the video as theirchance to be present at the ceremony, so they may bedisappointed if all the big moments are reduced to brief vignettes.There’s nothing to stop other guests making their own videosof the day, and it’s likely some of these alternative portraits will behighly entertaining viewing in their own way. Yet you’ll doubtlesswant to make sure you have an official record as well.As with the photos, the wedding video isnot something you should leave in thehands of one of the guests, just becausethe technology’s available.
