How to Photograph Your Proposal

Igor & I had already gotten legally & church married before our actual wedding-wedding celebration.

Ways We Saved Money On Our Wedding:

As an additional service, I create each of my wedding couples a custom, recommended wedding day schedule. If the couple doesn’t have a planner, they usually just go by my solo recommendation. If the couple has hired a wedding planner, I will work with him/her to create this timeline. This works better for everyone because […]

Real Wedding Timelines From Real Weddings

One of the ways we saved money for our wedding was to make most of our wedding invitations digital.

For all other guests, we sent them the below message […]
