Wedding Guide

omg, it’s actually happening

Be There Photo

The rumors are true - you’re getting married (!!!)

First off, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your big day. There truly aren’t enough words to express how honored I am to be on this ride with the two of you, and I’m so excited for everything we’re going to create together.

This guide was created with the intention to help guide you through the planning process, because I totally get that there’s so many moving parts that make up a wedding that can be challenging to keep track of or even know where to get started. Hopefully this covers everything you need, including engagement sessions, timeline examples, getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception, and everything else.

Being intentional with your decisions beforehand not only helps everything go smoothly day-of, but also gives you the opportunity to be fully be there and stay present during what’s going to be one of the best days of your life.

xoxo,
Dani
