3 Tips for Marriage Celebrants While Working with Photographers

 Whether it is a traditional or themed wedding, the marriage celebrant ensures each ceremony is heartfelt, unique, and personal. They make sure all the guests are immersed in the special occasion to share the joys of the event. When a celebrant officiates a wedding, the ceremony gets free from the strains of a conventional one. Couples choose their wedding venue from a range of popular places that often includes beaches, gardens, hotels, etc. Celebrants help the couple write their wedding vows and as the unofficial hosts, they make announcements during the ceremony. A photographer is one of the most important parts of a wedding. It is the biggest day of the couple’s life and they want to capture and document every moment of it. The celebrant and photographer work together to properly capture all the details of the ceremony. So, here are a few tips for marriage celebrants when they are working with the photographer:



  • Prepare for the Big Day:

As a marriage celebrant, you need to ensure that the photographer knows the schedule and the flow of all the events of the day. Both the celebrant and the photographer should have met the couple prior to the ceremony to discuss the expectations so that the photographer can capture picture-worthy moments. Both of you can run through the details together, especially when special moments will happen and where guests will be positioned for specific parts of the event. The celebrant can also help the photographer to be in the right spots and prompt the guests about which direction to look.




  • Stand Correctly:

Even the most experienced marriage celebrant can sometimes get off-track during the ceremony. This could lead to some photographs of special moments wherein the photos of the guests or couples are obscured by the celebrant. This can happen even during important events such as the entrance or ring exchange. Although a wedding ceremony is incomplete without a celebrant, no one would want them in their intimate and important photos. Hence, it is the responsibility of the celebrant to discuss with the photographer to stand accordingly so the photos turn out to be great.



  • Engage with Everyone:

A wedding ceremony should be as interactive as possible and the celebrant can make this happen. Engaging and interacting with each other makes a deeper connection, which is what a wedding is all about. The celebrant could improvise to do something out of the script, such as a few more hugs and kisses while walking down the aisle or during the main event, the celebrant could engage with the audience for some laughter and cheering. Such natural joys with legitimate body language are what great photos made up.
