We have so much excitement and joy, and straight 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 for what we do. ⁣
⁣
Each wedding has told such a unique love story, and each couple has left us with only the fondest of memories. We’ve made some of our dearest friends in this industry, and only fallen more in love with this city every single wedding weekend. ⁣I have loved sharing this journey with such a strong team of empowered women. I’m so excited to share more of their faces this coming year!

Enjoy this sweet little snippet of @whateverislovely_events , with big big thank you to our friend @taylordweddings_kc ⁣

| 5 Steps to Finding the Perfect Photographer ⁣
⁣
𝟷. 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 ⁣
Are you a 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 + 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘆 kinda gal? Or maybe a 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 + 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 gent?! Do you love to see couples captured in the moments (more 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰) or do you prefer the 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 posed photos to hang above the mantle? These are some of the questions you’ll want to define and answer as you begin the journey to find the perfect photographer. ⁣
⁣
Feeling overwhelmed? Start by browsing popular hashtags and phrases on Instagram and Pinterest, save your favorites (editing style + moments/poses), and use those as your starting point⁣
⁣
𝟸. 𝘈𝘴𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘴 ⁣
Were you recently at a friend’s wedding and loved the photos? Have you already booked a few other vendors? 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀 are the best place to start in the hunt for your perfect photog partner! Reach out to your vendors and see who they love working with. Or just DM your lovelies 💁🏻‍♀️ We always love connecting you with local vendors! ⁣
⁣
𝟹. 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 ⁣
Begin narrowing down your local list to the top 3 choices, and start doing your homework on each. Browse through their portfolios and socials to get a good feel of their work and style. Read through their blog to see past weddings. Evaluate their package offerings to make sure they align with your budget and then check availability. This step should narrow down your list to your #1 choice⁣
⁣
𝟺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵 ⁣
Time to get-to-getting! Reach out to your #1 and sit down together. Grab coffee (or chips and queso anyone?!) and just get to know each other. The most important step for finding a wedding photographer (𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯) is making sure y’all jive well. Your photographer + videographer + planner will be your best friends on wedding day, so it’s important to make sure you enjoy spending time with them! ⁣
⁣
𝟻. 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘎𝘶𝘵 ⁣
I say this to every bride, every time. Trust your gut! You’ll know the moment it happens that, “Yes! This is my person!” In that moment...just say yes. 🖤 ⁣

This can be the 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩 part

This can be the 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩 part of wedding planning, but doing this one thing will make your experience 𝗦𝗢 much better. ⁣
⁣
𝘽𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩, 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙚. ⁣
➿Be honest with yourself ⁣
➿Be honest with your family and loved ones ⁣
➿Be honest with your vendors ⁣
➿Be honest about what you want, how you want it and how you’d like to see it ⁣
⁣
I get it. It can be so difficult to tell a loved one, “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢! 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴.” So instead, you just say yes. And you continue to say yes out of love and kindness. Because who wants to tell their loved ones no? ⁣
⁣
Months down the road, though, you look back and realize the wedding you’re planning is no longer the wedding you’d been dreaming. And we don’t want you to ever look back and regret a moment! ⁣
⁣
My knowledge is yours, babe. So if you’re struggling with a tough conversation or looking for some support on how to handle saying no, I’m here. 👇 But for real. Comment and let me know, or send a DM if you’re more comfortable asking there. I will always be open and available as an ear to vent to, or as a free resource to get these answers from. ⁣
⁣
We’ve been there. We get it. We’re here. 🖤 ⁣
