I saw a post from another photographer recently stating, “Oh sure, I will stay to take redundant dancing photos for three hours just so I can take your exit photos.”. That was before my recent planning experience, and the moment this photographer brought up a false exit, I was on board. As your photographers, we want you to get the most out of your day with us. I think a false exit is a great way to do it!

Let me plan your elopement and photography in these locations! I am so excited for these!

Most people, when they start in this industry, don’t realize how much goes into what's behind the lens. Not to mention, if you are one of our clients. I wanted to give you a peek into what my day looks like on a wedding day. So I am going to provide you with a sample timeline and give you an idea of what my job as a photographer looks like.

I am here to tell you that things are not what they seem.

As we immerse ourselves in more and more technology, you really do need to be careful about what you believe when you see videos and photographs online. In school, I had several classes that were Photoshop-heavy. I got pretty good, but some of my classmates were absolutely incredible! It gave me the ability to catch photoshopped photos pretty easily. Now we have AI to deal with, and the number of photos and videos out there is alarming!

As I sat down to write this blog, I realized I have never considered photography as a job. It was always a calling. Something I felt compelled to do. I talk a lot, in my personal life, about the universe and the signs it sends me. Some of them are loud and others are quiet. These signs have always pointed me towards photography.

This subject is something near and dear to my heart. My love for photography very well may have started with family photos. We weren’t well off, but my mother always made sure we set aside money for family photos. It became a tradition I intend to pass down, and as you will see in last month’s social posts, I am actively doing so.

The other day, on one of the photo groups I am part of on Facebook, someone posted a screenshot of a conversation they had with what looked like a ‘mentor’ of sorts. She told him what equipment she owned (a mix of cameras and lenses much like me), and he proceeded to tell her that she should sell her equipment and only buy either Sony or Canon equipment. Needless to say, the comments were comical, especially because it’s an all-women group and the mentor was a man. I found this post and all the comments intriguing, considering I have had a lot of trouble with ‘gear heads’ in retail stores over the years. I would like to provide my personal opinion on the subject.

Welcome back! I am so happy you are here. Clients get ghosted for all kinds of photo sessions, even on their wedding day! I decided then I would write about how you can be sure you aren’t being catfished for photography.

Here’s my honest opinion: I feel the same way about aesthetic photography that I do about how you part your hair or whether your socks are long or short…..it is a generational trend that will disappear.

This article comes from a place of love, as well as, a whole new view on weddings after working as a planners’ assistant for a few years.

What planning a wedding and mental health have in common?

In my experience, nothing. Over time, I have noticed a major gap in tending to your mental health while planning your wedding. Not only in planning but preparing for after planning!
