One of the things I love the most about doing wedding photography is watching my couple soak in every moment of their wedding day instead of “working” it and then feeling like it just flew by. The suggestions in this guide I created should help you achieve that same level of enjoyment or at least get the closest you can to it. Let’s make your day the best ever!!
ABOUT THE CONTENT.
I have been a Midwest wedding photographer for 15 years and have shot more than 200 weddings. The contents in this guide are things I have seen over and over again in traditional-based weddings. Things that my couples are scurrying around on the wedding day trying to fix. Don’t let this be you! This is not AI created – which is obvious by my lack of perfect grammar. It is supposed to be that way. I wanted things to be conversational and, unfortunately, this is how I talk. With that being said, this is all my opinion. There are no right or wrong answers in wedding planning. Nothing in here should be instructing you to absolutely do anything. It is simply to provoke thought around what COULD be if you choose to go one way or another. Also, not everything may apply to your big day!
IT’S INTERACTIVE!
This PDF format is interactive. You will notice near the page number on each page a “table of contents.” You can click/tap on any of those to take you back to the table of contents. The table of contents is also interactive. You can click/tap on any topic and it should take you to that page. All outside links should be live as well.

COMING SOON!
I am currently creating a physical planner with not only this information, but space to fill in your thoughts and plans. The artwork isn’t quite finished yet and I’m still sourcing printers and options, but I am already SO excited to share this with everyone!
