The wedding ideas and options are endless! Really they go on and on, but not everyone is right for your wedding. So the best way to plan with ease and beat overwhelm is to get clear about what you want.
Think about what’s important to you as a couple. Knowing what you both really care about when it comes time to make hard decisions.
These are some starting points:

Destination or Nearby
Big Wedding Party or Small Wedding Party
You’ll also want to think about the style of photography you want for your day. This will make it easier to decide on a photographer. When I photograph couples I want light and bright, romantic, joyful and authentic photos. I really like to focus on connection with couples. Definitely, spend some time thinking about what you like in photos!

They make the day really feel like a dream. You never worry about making sure any of the details get finished because they’re doing it for you. Truly the easiest way to enjoy your wedding is to have a planner.
