Booking your preferred wedding vendors early can take the stress off you later by making sure your date and price are locked in!

Ready for wedding season with some upgraded gear 😎
I’ve put so much thought and effort into building my kit to capture every wedding, elopement, or session the best I can. I can’t wait to jump into fall weddings with a harness full of professional-ass gear, ready to make your day into art.
The benefits of having multiple cameras is having a backup in case one of your cameras freezes up, and having the ability to capture the same moment from different lenses to give your client different perspectives. It’s especially important on wedding days since you only get one chance!
Welcome to the family, R6 🤍 My Mark IV will always be my first love, but I’m so excited to see where this takes us.

I think this is gonna be a series?
A super popular one is how to start second shooting weddings as a new photographer. This is exactly what I did, and three years later I have a full blown photography business and am about to hit 50 weddings. Keep going! You can do it!

My biggest takeaway from my month of posting:
➡️ just hit “post”
Get that reel out of your drafts, post the photo, write the caption. Just do it. Doing it gets easier and you’ll find your voice along the way.
I was sitting on SO MUCH WORK (and still am) that I haven’t posted yet. I was always worried I didn’t have the perfect caption or it wasn’t in a perfect little series of images like I see from other photographers when I’m doomscrolling.
Then I realized that I can post without everything being perfect. Posting something and showing up was way better than doing nothing.
I want people to know I’m here, I’m a real person you can trust, and you’re more to me than just a deposit and a date on my calendar. That’s what’s important, right?
I’m glad I did this challenge, happy I’m almost done 😅, and SO happy I’ve taken the pressure off of content for myself. I’m just gonna post like y’all are my friends from now on bc as far as I’m concerned: if you’re here, you’re my friend.

Weddings are CHANGING, people!
We aren’t keeping traditions we don’t like just because it’s “what you’re supposed to do at a wedding.”
We aren’t planning our wedding day around people we only see at family reunions.
We’re building a day that reflects us and celebrates US.
If you don’t want to do the garter toss, don’t do the damn garter toss. If you don’t want to do a speech because people will be staring at you, don’t do it. If you don’t want to host a huge guest list of people you sorta know but felt pressured to invite, don’t do it!
If you want to stick to every single old school tradition because you love them and they make you feel good, then you go, Glen Coco.
This is the one day you get to do whatever you want.
Whatever YOU want. Not your parents or your future in-laws, or what you see while you’re doomscrolling.
Plan a wedding that makes YOU happy.

I absolutely loveddd my dress! It fit the vibe of our elopement perfectly and made me feel amazing. Definitely not what I had in mind going into dress shopping but I guess thats pretty common.
Two years later and I’m still finding any excuse to look at her. 🤍✨

3 steps to a unique elopement ⬇️
1) Find the right space. This can be anywhere, from a cute public park to an art gallery like this, but it should reflect your style as a couple.
2) Hire me as your elopement photographer. Promise I’ll make your day flow easy and get you all the bomb photos you want. (I even come loaded with a list of cool local vendors that I’ll share with you in case you’re still planning or don’t have a coordinator.)
3) Book dinner reservations for a mini reception with your closest friends and enjoy being a newlywed
Easy, right?

J + S chose @artspace111events in Fort Worth for their elopement and I cannot say enough cute things about it. It has such a unique vibe to it, with art your guests can look through and a big open courtyard for your ceremony. (Shoutout to the rainbow glass installation, that was my favorite piece.) Then we headed a few blocks downtown and met their friends for dinner. It was honestly very wonderful, convenient for everyone, and spoke to their personalities. I loved it and I will be recommending this to everyone wanting to elope from now on.

When I got engaged, I had no idea where to start or what to do.
I wasn’t shooting weddings yet, so I had no vendor contacts or any idea how to find people who wouldn’t scam me. I posted on Facebook groups (yikes) and tried to get an idea of general pricing from the hundreds of people who commented. I got on Instagram and looked through hashtags. I googled and mostly found companies that felt cold and impersonal, whose price point I personally couldn’t justify.
Then I found the right photographer.
I found someone who made it all click for me. They walked me through what came next, made it clear how they could help me, and whose work really spoke to me. The second I got on her page I knew she was the right fit for us. She felt like someone I could actually be friends with IRL, but I also didn’t feel so confused anymore: I had someone I could ask, who I knew had the answer.
She was so, so valuable to me.
When I transitioned into wedding photography, that was something I remembered. I want to be that same person for you.
You don’t realize how much time you’ll actually spend with your photographer until day of.
I’m literally with you all day long. I’m a fly on the wall for your biggest moments. I’m the only one who gets to see your fiancé cry. I’m the first one to see you in your dress. (@mckenzie_bigliazzi actually buttoned me up and helped me with my veil, something I’ve done for my own clients since.)
It’s just not the place to cut corners. Times are tough and investing in a vendor is scary. But what’s scarier is getting to your wedding and feeling like the weirdo photographer you hired has to third wheel all day.
Pick someone you actually like.

Photographer green flags
In a sea of photographers hoping for your attention, use these tips to help find someone who won’t ghost you or stress you out. This is the biggest day of your life - you definitely want someone you can trust!
-> Research your photographer’s past work and make sure they can work on different situations. You don’t want to have a cool, lowlight venue and a photographer who isn’t able to capture it.
-> Your photographer probably wants to talk to you. There should be a starting price listed on their website so you get a general idea of their pricing, but they may not quote you until you get on a call. There are a ton of factors that go into your wedding day, but I honestly just want to know I connect with the couple I’m gonna be spending so much time with.
-> You always want to go with a vendor who sends you a contract and an invoice with a way to pay. Never send someone a payment through Venmo or another app, especially without a contract written out that you both sign.
-> Your vendors should have a backup plan for if they can’t make your wedding day. If you ask about this before booking them, they should be able to answer this question. I have it written in my contract that I would find a trusted replacement photographer for your wedding and would still edit and deliver your photos.
-> I always check in with my couples throughout their engagement, even if they don’t have an engagement session in their package. I just want them to know I’m there and there’s no chance I’d ghost them.

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot 👏🏻
It’s so easy to fall into a timeline that leaves you feeling rushed from photo opp to photo opp and totally takes you out of the mood.
What you can do:
-> Plan your timeline with your photographer or coordinator. We don’t want you to feel rushed either, and we can put together a timeline that flows into each event naturally, so you don’t feel like we’re dragging you from thing to thing.
-> Leave yourself a time buffer in case you run behind schedule.
-> Hire a photographer who can capture moments as they happen. Instead of pulling you away from a conversation with your friends during cocktail hour (which honestly, sometimes we do have to do bc that light is LIGHTING), I’d rather tell a story with candids and let you enjoy your day.
