Your Kent Wedding - May/June 2025 (Issue 120)

FINISH WITH A BANG! We’re excited to end the night with a bang and have a fireworks display, but some of our guests and children are sensitive to loud noises – is there a way for them to comfortably enjoy the show? Fireworks are a very loud form of entertainment and as beautifully spectacular as they are, they can be very alarming to children, dogs and sound-sensitive adults. If you want to be truly considerate to all your guests, then we would recommend a lower noise display. These displays still deliver bright lights, fantastic colours and the wowfactor you would get with a regular display. However, they do not involve the use of aerial shells and other fireworks designed to emit a loud bang! Lower noise displays usually operate in the realms of half the decibel noise level associated with normal displays, you may still get pops, whizzes and crackles, but you will not get bangs! As well as employing a professional company to carry out the lower noise display, you can also secure ear defenders for anyone wanting them, just to go that extra mile for guests and show you care. www.ajpyrotechnics.co.uk @AJPyrotechnicsLtd Email: enquiries@ajpyrotechnics.co.uk PHOTOGRAPHER KNOW-HOW Tell us about your shooting style, is it more documentary-style, cinematic or a blend of both? I always make sure each couple’s unique style aligns with what I envision for the wedding. Attention to detail is an important aspect for videographers – the rings, the dress, the cake, etc all need to be captured. Getting those small, but meaningful details, add so much depth to the final video. What is included in your package? Most videographers will offer allinclusive packages – certain packages will only cover ceremony to reception. I’d recommend choosing the all-day package, which will cover the must-see moments such as bridal prep, speeches and the first dance. Make sure to communicate for any additional extras, like drone footage, which can add a stunning dimension to your wedding video! What about travel and accommodation? If your wedding is taking place in a different county or even country, some videographers will charge extra for travel and accommodation. Clarifying this early on can prevent surprise fees after your wedding. www.closeshotfilms.com @closeshotfilmsofficial Email: closeshotfilms@gmail.com HOT TOPIC Wedding experts answer your questions EXPERT ADVICE 83
