Best Made Weddings®

Whether during a wedding, engagement session, family session, boudoir session or having a headshot taken, feeling confident and having good photographs take of you is something we all struggle with. I sat down with Ben Lucas of NOM Creative on the Best Made Weddings® Podcast to chat through some tips and advice for having excellent photos taken of you, no matter what type of photograph it is, and no matter who you have as your photographer!

2020 has seen the rise of the often feared and sometimes dreaded "Zoom Wedding." Although a great way to include family and friends who are unable to attend your wedding ceremony or reception, audio/video issues as well as challenges trying to navigate the various online video messaging platforms have left many couples shaking their heads, unwilling to try.
.
I want to thank Alan Chitlik of Puget Sound DJ and Greg Lowder of Affairs to Remember for joining me on the Best Made Weddings podcast to troubleshoot some common issues and for trying to figure out how to elevate the "Zoom Wedding."

Today on the Best Made Weddings podcast we're talking all about "wedding planning well-being" and how couples can best prepare themselves for marriage with their partner. How can you improve communication skills? If you've had to delay your wedding how can you use the extra time given to truly make sure you have the wedding of your dreams?? How can you set you and your partner up for a successful relationship now, and for years to come???
.
This is a fantastic episode and one that I believe will be of great value for couples planning weddings now, and even when everything is back to some sort of "new normal." Grace MacLeod is a wedding officiant who also specializes in pre-marital counseling (among other things) and walks us through some verbal exercises you can do at home, to help strengthen the relationship you have with your partner either before you get married, or after. Thanks Grace for "gracing us" with your presence, lol!!!

“Are we posting photos/videos on social media right now?” Bizarrely enough, that’s a question I’ve seen floating around online a lot lately. With the various degrees of regulations being followed, along with the sometimes jarring look of photos taken at socially distant weddings, some photographers, videographers and heck even other wedding vendors are left scratching their heads about what to do…
.
I want to thank Amy Soper of Amelia Soper Photography, Jamie Buckley of Jamie Buckley Photography and Jenny GG of Jenny GG Photography for helping to shed some light on yet another FUN wrinkle we are facing in 2020!

Today on the Best Made Weddings podcast we're covering a touchy subject, pricing. What kinds of "deals" should couples be wary of when it comes to securing their wedding vendors? How can couples get the "best bang" for their buck when trying to plan a wedding on a budget? How should vendors go about offering deals and discounts in a way that helps them find quality clients, but also doesn't undercut their competition in an unfair way? Oh YES, we cover all these topics and much, much more!!!
.
I want to thank Alan Chitlik of Puget Sound DJ, Irene Jones of IJ Photo and Jennifer Tai of Jennifer Tai Photo Artistry for joining me for this extremely sensitive subject. We are just four voices speaking on this important matter, but I hope we did an acceptable job getting our opinions across. Thanks for listening!!

Today on the Best Made Weddings podcast I wanted to flip the script and chat with some couples who recently got married!! Why did they chose to get married right now? What was the most challenging part of getting married in 2020?? How did they follow all of the regulations on their wedding day and what advice would they have for other engaged couples who want to get married right now???
.
A special thanks to Lauren, Kelly, Bri and Kas who really opened up about their experiences, disappointments, feelings of accomplishment and more as they walked me through their entire wedding planning process and what advice they have for other engaged couples moving forward with wedding planning in 2020.

Today on the Best Made Weddings Podcast we're talking all about micro weddings. What are they? How should you create your timeline? What do you do AFTER the wedding ceremony? How can you have the most successful micro wedding ceremony possible??
.
I gathered three stellar wedding photographers to answer all of these questions and to give their own insights about the benefits of having a small, legal wedding ceremony right now. Thank you so much to Dan Manning of Dan Manning Photography, Irene Jones of IJPhoto.net and Satya Curcio of Satya Curcio Photography for your time and expertise!

With lots of the wedding planning discussion understandably focusing on what we CAN’T do right now, I wanted to have a discussion focusing on what couples CAN do to celebrate their special day. I gathered three wedding officiants who focus on creating unique one-of-a-kind wedding ceremonies to see how we can still make your wedding celebration special, in spite of everything else thats going on.
.
I want to thank Chanelle Carlin, Elaine Way and Rev. Ray Van Winkle for joining me on the Best Made Weddings Podcast for this fun and hopefully helpful discussion!

With all of the newest regulations coming out about weddings, what was originally planned to be a bartending FAQ video turned into a really honest discussion about what it's like working at and planning weddings in 2020 and beyond.

I want to thank Jan Fernandez of Party on the Rocks, Nigel Lindsey of Revolution by the Barrel and Rion McConnehey of My Perfect Bartender for coming onto the Best Made Weddings Podcast for what I think is one of our best discussions to date!
