CARRO Blog
Welcome to our CARRO Weddings Blog! After 11 years of experience in the wedding industry, we have learnt a thing or two!
Firstly, planning your wedding day can be stressful, and we would like to make things easier for you. Whether you need advice on wedding day entertainment, or how to write your wedding speech, we can help. As Newcastle-upon-Tyne and North East Wedding Photographers and Videographers, we have seen what works well at weddings. And also what does not!
Secondly, our Wedding Blog can serve as a trusted resource for couples, providing them with expert tips, inspiration, and guidance to create the wedding day of their dreams. By sharing your expertise and experiences, we’re not only helping couples navigate the complexities of wedding planning but also empowering them to make informed decisions that reflect their unique personalities and preferences. As we have attended so many amazing weddings, we have seen it all. From PowerPoint presentation speeches with props to choreographed first dances that lead into push-ups, and wedding speech bingo, we can help give you ideas to make your wedding unique.
At last, our Wedding Blog can answer all your wedding photography and videography questions. As Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and North East Wedding Photographers and Videographers we have been asked all sorts of wonderful questions. From ‘How long do group shots take?’ to ‘Do we have to get formal pictures; I don’t like my picture being taken?’. Ask away, we can confidently give you the answer. However, we’re prepared! We have lots of Q&As to help you feel at ease. Additionally, asking questions helps clarify any uncertainties and ensures that both you and your photographer are on the same page.
You’re welcome!
