‘Count your 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴

‘Count your 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴....not your 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴’ 🦃 ⁣
⁣
Today is a day for both thanks and giving. Today we reflect on the blessings (and learning lessons) this year has brought, and celebrate each of the days we’ve been able to share with y’all. ⁣
⁣
𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨! You are near to our hearts today and we are speaking gratitude over each of you.⁣
xo— The Lovelies 🖤
⁣
Speaking of gratitude, I hear some sweet potato casserole I’ll be speaking gratitude over here shortly 🙏 I am definitely a sides gal on Thanksgiving day! What about you? Are you main dish or sides folk? Any favorites you’ll be enjoying today?! 🥧

As we head in to the holiday + gifting season, I wanted to take a moment to just brag on the breadth of small business talent we have here in Kansas City 🖤 This has been a difficult season of life for all, and I know how hard local businesses have been hit. This season I am committing to shopping, eating, gifting local as much as I can. ⁣
⁣
One of the gals I’d love us to support this holiday is @annemariedesignskc . Katherine is kind, generous, and has a joy about her that’s infectious (no pun intended, 2020?! 🦠) Her designs are unique and handcrafted right here in KC. Check out our blog ✨ 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘪𝘰 ✨ for some of our favorite pieces! ⁣
⁣
And speaking of her kind and generous soul, she had even offered up a discount code for y’all! ⁣
Code: 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮𝟭𝟬⁣

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!

| 5 Steps to Finding the Perfect Photographer ⁣

| 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. 🖤 ⁣
