So often over the last few years, once all the signing is done and the planning together has started, I've been asked if I have any suggestion on vendors - in almost every category. Obviously it's impossible to know everyone, but photographing weddings all over has helped me collect a beautiful bunch of humans that I would trust to create damn near any vision you could throw at them. These people are the best of the best, and I hope you love them as much as I do!
I've been doing this thing a long time and I still feel like every year this industry changes so much. Which is so fun! But it makes researching stuff so hard sometimes for you guys. Social platforms are always shifting, vendor search platforms are everywhere; where do you start? Who do you choose? I love to think about your vendor team as a huge, complimentary partnership. We all work together towards one goal: Laying the ground work for your sweestest memories!

A good wedding planner is worth their weight in GOLD. Their job is to take your ideas, your visions, your must-haves, and do this magical process where they turn it into your absolute dream wedding day. They will help you create a realistic budget for what you're hoping to achieve + experience on your wedding day, connect you with vendors and take care of communication and coordination (if you're choosing full service planning), some offer month-of-coordination, partial service planning, and so much more. I can't fit the worth and full description of why you should hire a wedding planner in this small space -- however, if you want the best help bringing your wedding day to life, reach out below.

Find a florist who aligns with your vision, have a deep conversation about realistic expectations, and then:
* t r u s t t h e m *. Try asking them what they are loving designing right now, what spaces they've utilized at your venue previously, especially if you're lost in the sauce on trying to decide on any one direction.
Rather you're dreaming of a celebration theme that's punchy and modern, dainty and classic, romantic and whimsical, elegant and neutral - just make sure you take some time to write down and discuss if you have must-have descriptors to help your floral designer create your dream decor and bouquets. Communication is key to happiness!
The rest? It's just magic what they do, so let them do it.

What's so incredible is the variety of videography styles that can compliment multiple styles of photography when searching for a cohesive and well rounded wedding day documentary team. Maybe you love a consistent light and natural look across both mediums, photo and video alike, or maybe you want a fine art feel in your photos with the care free, documentary and modern style in your video. Whatever combo of emotions make up your day, there are so many choices for you out there!
Here are a few wonderful videographers I've either worked with and love or have heard wonderful reviews from with beautiful and stand-out style for you to re-watch your day on.

Whichever look you're going for, something so important is feeling comfortable in your skin. Remember to get a consistent skin care routine going leading up to the wedding and stay nice and hydrated.
Makeup application all depends on how well we take care of our skin and these genuine artists are SO incredible at teaching you about your skin, how to care for it, and catering to all different skin types and skin tones.
They leave your skin looking and feeling its best and a perfect match to your natural tones, while being elevated, evened out, and glowing. Leave it to these pros!

xx,
From elaborate and intricate wedding cakes to an entire desert room full of options, there is nothing better than an incredible tasting and memorable dessert on a party day!
Hot take: I'm not a fan of the taste of wedding cake 90% of the time. I KNOW, I'M THE WEIRDEST. But hear me out - these bakers have MADE ME A BELIEVER ONCE AGAIN.
Between the designs being a work of art, or cupcakes that make me DREAM of getting some again soon over a year later, these artists just don't miss.
