Buffy Thompson has been a wedding photographer for 12 years and knows that sharing the most special day of someone's life is a 'privileged position'.
However, shooting over 200 weddings also means she's seen (beyond) her fair share of terrible best man speeches, enough animals to create a modestly-sized petting zoo, and countless white dresses.
So with the summer wedding season now in full swing, we asked Thompson for some of her insider information, including the wedding faux pas you absolutely must avoid.
Animals are fine (as long as they behave)
Dogs, chickens and horses, Thompson's seen it all. But contrary to what you might think, she actually doesn’t mind couples bringing along their four (or two) legged friends for some shots, as long as they’re well-behaved.
