100 DAYS, NO WEDDINGS = MOTIVATION KILLER⠀⠀⠀

100 DAYS, NO WEDDINGS = MOTIVATION KILLER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's officially been 100 days since I last shot a wedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, when I look at it as cold hard facts, it's not actually that strange. I usually do take most of December, January and February off from shooting weddings, which is 90 days, so I don't find large stretches of time without weddings too weird. However it's usually because I'm busy editing, creating albums, doing in-person consultations, wedding fairs, styled shoots, etc. So to have 100 days containing NONE of those things is VERY weird. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have, of course, kept myself busy (when my mental health allowed), but it's not been easy. Having no official deadlines and a terrible case of procrastination I tend to abandon projects quite easily. I also have stopped telling people what I'm planning to do so no one can call me out when I don't do anything (oh the cleverness of me!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But not having any habits in place is a terrible habit in itself, and one I am determined to kick. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm actually writing this post 7 days ahead of schedule because I didn't want to miss my sad little 100 day no-weddings anniversary (I guess I get a gold star for being proactive about this, at least!) so I'm now setting myself an accountability target: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DO SOMETHING. DO ANYTHING!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within the next 7 days I, Past Amy, want you, Future Amy, to have published a new wedding blog post, maybe start the welcome brochure, write a new article, do a book cover shoot, literally ANYTHING that isn't sitting around watching ASMR videos on YouTube!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If anyone feels the same and is after an accountability partner - you don't have to be in the wedding industry - give me a shout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BALLROOM BLITZ! NEW PHOTOSHOOT ON THE BLOG!

If your weekend is looking a bit grey, slap on a bit of T.Rex, Queen and The Sweet and feast your eyes on the shiniest shoot you will ever see. It's 1970s glam goodness with a bit of disco thrown in for good measure. I promise there is an epic amount of GLITTER (and I mean the good kind, not Gary.)

PLAN, PLAN AND PLAN SOME MORE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PLAN, PLAN AND PLAN SOME MORE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it feels a bit wanky to basically choreograph your entire wedding day, but it's actually the best thing you'll ever do for your future wedding selves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get it, you're a relaxed vibe kinda person and you just want your wedding day to be chill AF, right!? Well I'm here, with 7 years experience of relaxed wedding days, to tell you that in order for that to happen you have to get your timing schedule DOWN.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now, no one knows how you want your day to play out, it's all still in your head. And because these days there is no definite pattern a wedding must follow, you get to design the day however you want it; but it also means your suppliers need info from you about what, why, where and when. So yes, go wild - do your portraits before your ceremony, have speeches out on the terrace, get married in a forest, take your guests on a tour of the city between venues. Whatever the fuck you want to do, do it. Just plan it out with us first so we're not trying to fit 300 things into 2 hours of spare time. Or, even worse, 0 things!! There has to be a happy medium.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, the main thing I've seen to cause absolute havoc and the most stress is when the time schedule is "whatever". Your photographer, wedding coordinator, caterer, band, photobooth, even your guests, will all thank you for a loose timetable, at the very least.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you get your timings down, the rest is smooth sailing. Everyone you have hired for your day will take over and support that timeline. You get to enjoy all of the festivities knowing that everything you want to happen WILL happen without ever having to look at a watch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give me a shout if you need timeline help - I'm always on hand with no bullshit realistic advice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

FIRST DANCE - CRINGE OR YAY?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you but I love a first dance. That may shock you, as I'm quite an anti-traditionalist, but I do have an ulterior motive I'm afraid. I think everyone should at least consider doing a first dance (or even just half a one) for one HUGE reason... hear me out...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're the kind of person who hates having all the attention on you, here's a newsflash you may not like: You know the big wedding you're planning? With the beautiful outfits you're going to wear? Also walking down the aisle and saying romantic stuff in front of all your guests? You're gonna get a lot of attention!! By the time your evening party rolls around the attention part is going to be No Big Deal. You'll have already been through portrait time with me as well as the speeches, so I promise you a first dance is going to be a piece of cake!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what's this ulterior motive I mentioned earlier? I'll tell you. BIG MASSIVE PARTY TIME!! I want to end your wedding photos with a bang, and that means lots of bodies on the dancefloor, crashing into each other, hugging everyone, singing their hearts out and basically having the times of their lives. Now unless your guests are insatiable party animals (and believe me this is rare - out of the 210 weddings I've done, only at least 10 weddings consisted of this kind of crew), no one wants to be the first to get up, so it's gotta be you! All your pals will gather round the floor and at some point, legit after the first chorus, you wave everyone onto the dancefloor and get your DJ/band to launch into a widely loved track that absolutely slaps. (You can even set off a confetti bomb for added childish pleasure!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And there you have it: an instantly lively dancefloor and guaranteed epic photos. All for the small price of a teensy weensy dance with your gorgeous BAE. See you on the dancefloor bitches!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WEDDING WORKOUT!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀

WEDDING WORKOUT!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wedding photography was always my cardio. A full day comprises of at least 10 hours of running, walking, squatting, all while constantly carrying a bag of camera equipment that weighs the same as a small child. This is all fuelled by breakfast around 9am, 2 power bars after the ceremony, mayyyybe a meal around 7pm (if I'm lucky that the caterers don't inexplicably hate me) and as many coffees as I can fit inside me. I do try to avoid the infamous "Wedding Photographer's Drive Home Special Stop" (aka Maccie D's), however I also tend to leave most weddings with slices of wedding cake that I may or may not eat at 11pm with a cup of tea... so, there's that. But on the other hand, I do usually smash about 35,000 steps in one wedding day (and sometimes I do 2 or 3 weddings in a week), so I think I have earned the bloody cake!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So now I'm trying for 10,000 steps a day, which is fine, i get it, health yada yada... but tell me... why does it seem like so much when I'm not at a wedding!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To help me through my walks I'm currently listening to an incredibly funny podcast called 'The Loremen'. I love dark humour and anything about morbid history, so this is perfect for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're also trying to get your 10k steps a day how are you getting through it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
