As I learned last year, when it comes to planning your wedding – there is A LOT to think about. As a wedding photographer – I’ve seen it all. So I’m pulling together some of everything I’ve seen to help YOU plan your wedding, or at least get some inspiration if you’re totally lost 😉 Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing bridesmaid dresses/colors, bouquets, centerpiece/reception decor, reception venues, and groom tuxedos. Anything else you want to see? Leave a comment on the bottom and I’ll pull up a few samples for you to look through.

This week is all about the ladies. Check out the gowns, color palettes, accessories, and hopefully you can get an overall feel of what you want your vibe to be. Yours truly even makes an appearance in the gallery! Good luck and remember to enjoy this time planning your wedding (as stressful as it can be)!
