So let’s justify spending a small fortune on the dress because it’s the dress right. It’s THE dress not just any old dress so 15K on THE dress is okay. And flowers look beautiful so a smooth 20-50K on some gorgeous flowers that will wilt away is always okay too.
A cake is made of flower and water and some other stuff but damn it looks good when put together by a pro so let’s spend about 2K on that. Even though 2 mins after we cut it the catering staff rip it apart and my guest will barely eat it.
Then let’s be cheap with photography because photographers just take picture right. Anyone can take a nice picture with the camera phones that are available now right.
WRONG!
Photography make everything else last forever. It’s the only part of your day that is literally all about the memory lasting a lifetime. We’re the only vendor that promotes life long results.
Invest properly. 😉
Hey y’all. Im going to be honest. I haven’t been looking forward to posting lately with all the changes to Instagram and everything else. Not to mention I’ve been busy and I’ve barely had time for myself. So I’m gone drop this photo and tell y’all to have a great day.

Planning for a photo shoot.
1. Create a mood board
2. Have an idea of what direction you want your brand to go in.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask questions
4. Let go and have fun!
Photographer:
We got y’all too.
.

It’s important not to forget about your groom on wedding day. makes sure we can get some dope photos of him too.

Planner 4:
Top things that make your photo shoot great.
1. Location.
Stop shooting in the same location or bad locations and expecting your photographer to work magic. If you put me in a beautiful setting with an amazing backdrop then the photos will look equally as amazing. Would you wear an evening gown in a garage and tell me to make it look like a ballroom? Yes some people do that. Don’t be those people. Invest in a location.
2. The look.
Showing up to your photo shoot with wrinkled clothing, half done make up and barely put together hair is a big no no. Invest in your look so that you can have the best result and be happy with what you see on camera. Wear clothing that fits and compliments your body type is a must. Stop asking us to retouch things that could’ve been fixed before hand.
3. Time.
Show up on time! Stop rushing your photo shoot. Let the photographer have time to do what they need to do. Would you go to your hair stylist 1 hour late and say “hurry up girl I need you to do everything we were supposed to do in 30 mins”. Is a great rush job possible? Yes sometimes but just like you don’t like being rushed at your job neither do we.
4. Photographer.
We are not all created equally. Price should not be your deciding factor. It should be what you hope to gain from the shoot. I’m not the cheapest however I put my talent and skills to work for my clients to create images that look great and and accomplish the goals. I give my professional advice and if you choose not to take it then why hire a professional? Some photographers pose people better. We know those unflattering angles and we stay away from those. My job is to make you look amazing! Let me do my job.
The biggest take away is this. When you invest $1000 dollars in a photographer would you show up in sweat pants and a messy bun? No you’re going to make sure your investment makes sense by putting all the other elements together.
Good luck y’all!

For the last 22 years I’ve known these girls. I’ve hung out with them from time to time. I’ve had meaningful conversation with them, laughed with them and I’ve cried with them.
These women (one of which is not shown on this photo) have been my sanity through hard times and my reason to get out of my own way and push harder. They are amazing cheerleaders and even better friends.
Thank you .lavhan and !!!

Look how much fun we had showing up for my girls wedding day!
Loved shooting this wedding!
Photographer: and
Let me start by saying we are all guilty of mistreating someone. Yes me too. I’m sure I’ve done wrong in my 36 years. If I knew I made someone feel a way an apology was given unless I meant to make them feel a way. (Yes y’all sometimes I can be mean)
However I do live thinking that I should be nice to those I come in contact with because I don’t like to hurt people.
Today try to smile at a stranger. Be kind for no reason. Help someone in need. Or just keep your negativity to yourself if you are not capable of the rest. Sometimes that’s enough.
Have a great Thursday!
Wedding day is about the candid moments that happen when you thought no one was really watching.
We specialize in that. I was watching. 😉

How do you want people to visualize your brand? My clients like to look natural and authentic. Why pay tons of money to get photos taken of yourself just to not look like yourself in the photos. We retouch for a natural looking result.

How did we get these photos?
So while we were in California we took some photos we could use for our Save The Dates! Teko took the camera captured me, I got the camera and captured him and then took some great shots of us together! If she wasn’t there we would’ve been using the remote and probably out there a whole lot longer 😂.
We had such a good time! We can’t wait for our engagement session. ❤️💋
The wedding photographers become the bride and groom. 😁

You planned your wedding day down to the smallest detail with an amazing planner at a gorgeous venue on the best day of the year. You were stunning when your family and friends saw you and you made sure your hair and make up artist were the best. Your cake was delicious and the decor breathtaking. The flowers... all of them perfect and unique. Well then this happened... . . . The flowers wilted, the cake was eaten and the room cleared out and reset for the next day. You sweated out that hair dancing, washed your face down the sink that night... but you made sure you hired me to capture your day. So you’re safe... I got all that hard work saved in beautiful photographs you can look at and relive that day over and over again. You’re welcome. I love what I do so it was no big deal. Invest in photography. How much are your memories worth? . . . @garnetteeliz and @hcgiii! . . .
