Getting Married? Start Here

Planning a wedding? Before you book your vendors, finalize your budget, or save another hundred photos on Pinterest, there are a few things I want you to know. After years of photographing weddings, I'm sharing the advice I wish every couple heard before starting their planning journey. From setting a realistic budget and choosing the right vendors to creating a timeline that lets you actually enjoy your day, we're talking about the things that can make a real difference. We'll also get into the pressure of social media, creating a wedding that feels like you, and remembering what the day is really about. Think of this as advice from your friend in the wedding industry. Whether you're newly engaged or already deep into planning, this episode will help you feel more confident, make thoughtful decisions, and enjoy the process a little more.
