Let your photographer know about any quirks of the venue.

"This ceremony is in the Ulster Hall, in Belfast, which is a pitch-black space with crazy lighting, photographer Tim Tooth from This Modern Love told BuzzFeed. "I had to respond really quickly, adjusting the way I normally shoot.

"I was really happy with the way things turned out. But the next time I shot here, we thoroughly discussed the lighting situation! It's always a good idea for the couple to think through the lighting situation of the ceremony, as photographers can often only work with what they're given – darkness and squinting included!"

It's important to click with your photographer.

"Photographs are always better when the client's personality and the photographer's personality click," Tooth said. "If I’m an unlikely match with a couple, then it’s harder work to get a rapport going. If we're a good match, the day flows a lot better, it’s easier on both sides."
