One of our first episodes was with pre-marital counselors and officiants Min. Michael and Larraine Forrester from A Relationship Ministry. They explained to us the different counseling styles, why couples should heed red flags, the benefits of relationship mentors, and so much more.

One of our favorite episodes was a 2-parter with the renowned DJ R-Tistic. This half was about the wedding reception and the songs that accompany it.

We talk about how to get the guests dancing, what songs work best for the entrances and first dance, what songs get the old folks up, and more. This is the episode you've been waiting for, truly.

Another one of the best episodes of Hue I Do was our episode with wedding content creators Lanise Harris and photographer Chrissandra Jallah. They shared with us why the need of the content creator has emerged, what they do as a vendor, and the respect they rightfully deserve from other vendors, too. Enjoy!

This is such an evergreen episode from 2020. Black brides don't always go for the first look because of tradition but there are a LOT of reasons why it is actually a good idea. Ashley Strickland of Ashley Nicole Photography talked to us about other reasons why brides don't go for the first look, how it allows brides to enjoy their cocktail hour and reception, and other first look-like alternatives to consider.
