You’ll think some of these are obvious. We thought the same. But knowing the difference before you start booking can save you from some very expensive misunderstandings.
An aesthetic is not the same as a style.
Comparing prices is not the same as comparing what’s included.
A vendor can tell you what their service costs. That doesn’t necessarily tell you what your wedding will cost.
A vendor can be professional and still not be the right fit. How they make you feel matters, too.
“It hasn’t been done” is not the same as “it can’t be done.”
Video is not photography.
The photographs you’ll want to matter thirty years from now aren’t necessarily the photographs being chosen because they’re trending this year.
A content creator is not a photo and video team.
The design you paid for is not necessarily the experience your guests will have without the right lighting partner.
The difference is usually in what you didn’t know to ask.
Send this to the one you want on the same page with you before the planning begins.
