Danae Smalley, owner of Danae Smalley Weddings in Atlanta, is our guest in this episode. Danae and her husband have been running their business together and offer photography and videography for your special day.

Danae and her husband, Caleb, didn’t have a wedding, which inspired them to start their business to help other couples get the day that they didn’t. Working with people on such a personal level is what Danae loves about her work – she wants to know people and show them her authentic self as well.

If you are looking at booking Danae, make sure you have your date and venue set and a back up day ready. Also, make sure to tell your photographer what time of day your wedding is. Outside photos at noon will look different compared to inside photos. Make sure you know how lighting will affect your shots.

Danae goes on to share her tips for budgeting for a photographer and advises you to be up front about what you can spend. More often than not, people will be willing to work with you on pricing. It’s also important to look at a photographer’s full gallery to get a full picture of their skills and style.

When it comes to wedding planning, be flexible. It’s going to reduce stress and make it easer for everyone involved. Once your big day comes, enjoy it! If Danae could make one thing disappear about weddings, it would be the pressure to do things for other people.
