In this episode you’ll hear from other wedding vendors, current + former brides. Not only will they share some wedding day hacks (savvy cake idea for example), but some also share some advice to brides for planning their wedding day. If you like these types of episodes with multiple topics, let me know! And if you don’t, let me know that too haha.

In this episode, I passionately talk about why contracts are an absolute MUST for your wedding day. Don’t let yourself take the easy route because you know your vendor personally. Listen to this episode to know why exactly you need one and some important clauses to make sure you understand.

In this episode, I talk about a few different things related to the wedding planning process. Why consult calls are important, things to look out for in wedding Facebook groups, and the age old question: Do I need to tip my vendors?

In this short but sweet episode, I go over what a second photographer is, their value, and what it's going to cost ya (it's not outrageous, I promise).

Talk to your photographer about whether hiring a second photographer is going to be beneficial for your wedding :)

You probably have no clue how many hours you should hire your photographer for, and that’s okay. I GOTCHU! In this episode I go over the differences in a 10 hour coverage and 6 hour coverage - specifically what you will not get if you hire your photographer for 6 hours. Then if you listen all the way through, I go over sample timelines for 6, 7, 8, and 10 hour wedding days.

Before all of your vendor quotes roll in, I want to help you avoid the initial shock of the prices you’re given. If you don’t already know, I want you to hear it from me first - weddings and vendors are PRICEYYYYY. Along with setting some expectations, I give a lil peak into the work I do before, during and after a wedding day as a photographer, while also listing out things that affect vendor’s pricing.

Maybe you need a little break from the education portion of wedding planning or maybe you just like to hear what’s going on in people’s lives. Today’s episode is all about what I’ve done so far in my wedding planning process. From ring shopping with my besties, finding vendors, and more, listen if you’re curious about what this bride has to say about her experience - AKA your host haha. And of course there’s going to be a part 2 (and maybe 3) when my wedding date gets closer!

Okay, we obvi do NOT want any of these things happening at OUR wedding, but there’s something about listening to these stories that make it easy to say “that won’t happen to us”. 

Listen as I read through submitted horror stories from other brides and wedding vendors with a lil bit of commentary from me - who is both a bride AND a wedding vendor hehe.

If you like this style of episode, let me know!! I’d love to do more episodes like this.
