Choosing your wedding suppliers is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. Many venues offer a list of recommended suppliers, including photographers, florists, caterers, and entertainment. While this can be a great resource, it’s important to know that you’re not always obligated to choose from their list. As a professional wedding photographer at Just James Weddings, I believe that every couple deserves the freedom to create their perfect day, and that includes selecting the right suppliers for them.

As we step into 2025, it’s not just the start of a new year - it’s also engagement season! The festive period around Christmas and New Year’s is one of the most popular times for proposals. If you’ve recently said “yes” (congratulations!), the next exciting step is beginning your wedding planning journey.
