It’s a common problem that photographers discuss: A couple plans their wedding ceremony for sunset. (Which is wonderful.) They tell their photographer they do not want to have a first look and see each other before the ceremony. (Which is perfectly fine.) And they have their heart set on portraits that look like this:The sad […]

Last fall I wrote a blog post about the importance of wedding day timelines, but I decided it’s a topic well worth revisiting.

Danny and I sat down to start working on our guest list shortly after we got engaged. Then we became overwhelmed and put it off as long as we possibly could. Let’s face it: When it comes to the most fun wedding planning activities, drafting, then slashing, a guest list doesn’t rank at the top. […]

When we head out to a wedding, I tuck a fancy satin hanger, or a simple cedar hanger, into my car. At the wedding I second shot with Valentina Glidden earlier this month (which you’ll be seeing on the blog in the coming weeks), I spotted a couple hangers peeking out of her Think Tank […]

This is something that’s been slow-simmering in my pot of ideas for some time now. Back in the day, when I was engaged, I started a blog to help other brides plan their weddings. I even  started working on a book about planning, from the perspective of a bride. But, being busy (you know, my […]
