When In White

Who says a micro wedding means skipping the good stuff?! This week Cass joins me to talk about her destination micro wedding in Las Vegas, surrounded by her absolute favorite people. We're diving into how she kept all the traditions and elements she loved from a "regular" wedding while keeping the guest list intimate, plus we chat about doing boudoir during getting ready (yes please 🔥) and the biggest pros of going the micro wedding route. If you've been dreaming of a smaller celebration that still feels like you, this episode is for you!

This week I'm sitting down with Sarah of 775 Bartending, Reno's go-to for full-service wedding bar service! We talk about how she built her business, what an actual wedding day looks like for her team (spoiler: it's a 14+ hour day with 14 team members on site!), and why she's all-inclusive when it comes to what she brings to your celebration. If you're planning your bar service, Sarah also breaks down her best timeline & booking tips, because 2027 is already filling up fast!

"My venue has a coordinator, so we're covered... right?" This is one of the most common questions I hear from couples & the answer might surprise you! I'm joined by Bri from Married Poppins to break down what a venue coordinator actually does (hint: they work for the venue, not you) & why that distinction matters so much on your wedding day.

We're talking real talk about what happens without a coordinator: your photographer ends up wrangling family, backing up the MC, & managing vendor arrivals instead of capturing your day. Bri shares what partial planning looks like (starting 6 months out & perfect for couples already deep in planning), how she helps couples stay within budget, & what makes her approach different.

If you've been on the fence about whether you need one, this episode will make it a whole lot clearer!

The timeline is the backbone of the whole wedding day & this week Bri from Married Poppins is back to break down how we actually build one that works! We're talking her go-to starting template, why being a little off-schedule is NOT the end of the world (her words: "your ceremony will only take 10 mins, stop stressing"), and the 2026 trend of sunrise & sunset ceremonies & the tradeoffs couples don't always see coming. We also get into something we're both a little passionate about: photographers & coordinators actually talking to each other before the timeline is set. One email asking about the ideal lighting window changes everything. Buffer time, better light, less stress all around 🤍⏰

Weddings never go exactly to plan & this episode proves it! We're sitting down with Bri, founder of Married Poppins & the day-of coordinator every bride needs (basically the older sister who's got you), to swap our wildest "it all went sideways" stories. Think missing wedding dresses, blizzards, and vendors going MIA. But also... some of the most unexpectedly beautiful moments come out of the chaos🤍

Ever wonder what actually goes on with your second shooter on wedding day? This week I'm chatting with Iryna of Paper Street Portraits about everything second shooting, from the photographer side & the couple side!

We're talking about main shooters giving their second shooters actual guides for the day, the real benefits of having a 2nd shooter (hint: it's not just about extra angles, it's having another set of hands & eyes when things get chaotic), plus a few horror stories we've heard about missed focus & entire sections of photos gone wrong.

If you're a couple planning your wedding, we're also breaking down exactly what questions you should be asking your main photographer about who else will be there on your big day & why it matters more than you think!

The planning is done, the day was great, and then it just stops. Jenna gets real about the day after her wedding, the weird grief nobody prepares you for, and what she wishes someone had told her before the day even happened. If you're deep in planning mode right now, put this one in your queue and come back to it. You're going to need it.

Jenna is back and this one gets a little spicy. We're talking about the vendors who showed up for her and the ones who absolutely did not, including a coordinator who told her no on her own wedding day and then was nowhere to be found when she actually needed her. We're keeping names out of it but we are not keeping feelings out of it. If you're in the middle of booking vendors right now, listen to this one first.

Jenna got married one month ago and she is not holding back. We're talking pre-wedding anxiety, the moment she thought she was going to poop walking down the aisle, what actually went wrong on the day, and the gap between what weddings look like on Instagram and what they actually feel like in real life. Honest, funny, and a little chaotic, just like wedding days actually are.

Jenna got married one month ago and she's already spilling. Before she got engaged she had a whole vision of what was going to matter most and the decor was at the top of the list. Spoiler: she did not care about it at all on the day. We get into what she'd spend the money on again without blinking, what she stressed about for months that didn't matter, and close it out with a rapid fire round on all the wedding details people obsess over. This one is going to make you rethink your entire priority list.
