kind words from clients
YOU SHOULD KNOW
You deserve to *enjoy* your day — hire a planner!
(And so do your friends and family.) Which is why I exclusively accept weddings with planners — ask for my preferred list!
The best inspiration comes from life, not from Pinterest.
I am excited to work to make your images as original as you are! And while I don't mind a moodboard to get a feel for aesthetics, copying photos is where creativity goes to die.
I love it when you bring me your ideas, then trust in the reason you hired me.
And if you give me freedom to create, I'll deliver much more than "the shot list."
Do whatever you can to truly be present.
Some traditions are kind of dated — my favorite celebrations are with couples who are willing to do it their own way.
Trust me – a great DJ is worth their weight in gold.
If you want to have a legendary night, you want people on the dance floor and you want them to not be hungry. Forget the personalized matches and gifts (no one really notices).
Have the wedding you want, not the wedding that's "expected".
Your friends just want to celebrate you. Don't get so caught up with keeping up that you forget to have fun.
