TFYP 05 | Stress vs. Celebration

Posted by on February 29, 2016 in Blog, Tips From Your Photographer | 0 comments

Your wedding day is naturally a whirlwind due to the people, the schedule, the paparazzi (aka: your photographer and videographer teams), and the fact that you’re marrying the love of your life. This whirlwind can actually be fun and celebratory, or it can be stressful and busy. But there’s one major portion of your day that can either add to the stress or help create the celebratory environment, and most people don’t even realize it.

Curious what that is?

TFYP 04 | Plan for a Planner

Posted by on February 22, 2016 in Blog, Tips From Your Photographer | 1 comment

The single most important aspect of your wedding day is the fact that you and the love of your life are promising your hearts and lives to one another for the rest of time. You should be able to enjoy and remember a day so important! Hiring a wedding planner will allow for exactly this.

Panache, one of our favorite event coordinators to work with, put it best on their blog last week:

#5 You Deserve to Enjoy Your Wedding
​The most important thing to remember about your wedding? It’s just one day. If you’re busy making sure all the bridesmaids are dressed and your mother is keeping the flower girls from crying, you’ll miss the chance to live in the moment. With a wedding planner, you’ll be relaxing on your wedding day, not stressing out about the minor details that make a big difference.

We couldn’t have said it better.

TFYP 03 | Don’t Forget The Groom

Posted by on February 15, 2016 in Blog, Tips From Your Photographer | 0 comments

We’re going to make this one simple: don’t forget the groom.

So often, a lot of dreaming, research, and conversation circulating a wedding is about a brides dress (and her flowers, and her hair, and her…). There is nothing wrong with this; the bride should be stunning! But in our opinion, a grooms appearance is just as important.
