That’s why I created this guide to help you with everything you need to know and do to make your wedding day a success. From choosing your vendors, to creating your timeline, to enjoying your big day, I’ve got you covered with tons of tips and advice. Let’s get started!
Engagement Session

First Look
A first look is a private moment between you and your partner before the ceremony, where you see each other for the first time in your wedding attire. It can be a very emotional and intimate moment, and it can also have some practical benefits for your wedding day. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider a first look, and some tips on how to make it memorable.
Here are 3 reasons to consider a ‘first look’:
You can get many of the photos taken before the ceremony, which can save you time and stress later. You can also enjoy more of the cocktail hour with your guests
You can have a private and intimate moment with your partner, where you can express your emotions and exchange gifts or vows. This can help you calm your nerves and connect with each other before the ceremony
You can capture some beautiful and candid photos of your reactions, which can be more authentic and emotional than the traditional aisle photos. You can also take advantage of the natural lighting and scenery of your venue
Wedding Timeline
One of the most important aspects of planning a wedding is creating a timeline that works for you and your vendors. A well-thought-out timeline can make your wedding day run smoothly and stress-free, and allow you to enjoy every moment. We have some sample timelines for you to use as a reference, depending on whether you are having a first look or not. We can also help you customize your timeline to fit your needs and preferences.
Wedding Day Checklist
We love capturing all the little details that make your wedding day personal and meaningful. From your rings, to your invitations, to your shoes, we want to document every element that you have carefully chosen. To help us do that, we have some suggestions on how to gather and organize your details, and how to choose a getting ready location that has natural light and minimal clutter.
