Wedding Vendor Love: On almost every episode of Hue I Do, we shout-out our favorite wedding vendors and explain why. The vendors we shouted out this week are:

• Thomas Vision Films (Atlanta wedding videographer)

The songs we select to play on our wedding day are very meaningful. Toniah and I love music so of course, this was important to us. We go down memory lane, remembering the songs we picked as well as discussing wedding music in general. We want to know the songs you chose for your wedding day and you can tell us by completing The Wedding Soundtrack Survey. We'll share the answers in August so go ahead and take the survey now!

When searching for a wedding vendor, it's just as important to know if they click with you as it is that they know what they're doing. Think of the "culture fit" from work -- it's like that. We brought on our favorite wedding photographer Ashley Strickland of Ashley Nicole Photography about this and we talk about everything from: discerning genuine inquiries, noticing important details during a consultation call, and identifying red flags to avoid when working with clients. And of course, so much more. You'll enjoy it.
