why that consult matters
It’s that magical time of year where everyone decides this season needs a little extra magic with an engagement! And, as a wedding vendor, that means I get to hear from a lot of you reaching out with first steps as you tiptoe, or cannonball into the wedding planning machine. I’ll start with reminding you, I hate this machine for you! In my perfect world, every single decision we make is driven by passion and FEELING. I know that isn’t how the world works, exactly. I definitely think you can find a way to do a lot of things like this!
This is where meeting your vendors comes in. There are so many factors that come into play when going through your wedding checklist. We want to dive right in and say Budget Budget Budget…and yes! That matters…but I’d encourage you to start with your heart, and then let the rest fall into line. When you think about what you have as a tangible, keepsake thing from your wedding day I feel very lucky to say it’s the photos that remain. You might feel instantly nostalgic about your dress, your flowers, your cake. But guess what encompasses all of those things, plus the things that REALLY matter (ope, yep, I said it)? It’s the images. My goal is to get you right in the feels with every image that comes in your gallery.
To get to the point of this blog: A phone consult or facetime meet is a really great way to get a feel for how you vibe with a vendor. Specifically, me! There are an endless amount of weddings that happen weekly, yearly, monthly. Every single client that comes my way is not an automatic match. I can get a feel from how you inquire with me if you’re going to like me. If you’re here to tell me how much your family matters to you, and that you’re excited to spend the start of your married life together enjoying it with your partner and friends: YES. Hit that contact me button immediately! If you’re a bit more laid back, but still know that the experience and end result and FEELING matters to you, look around a bit more then go back to that button :)
I like to use an initial meet as a way to get to know each other, and then I always offer an engagement session as a complimentary way to see how we work together, once you’ve secured booking your wedding date with me! It is WAY worth my time and creativity to get to know you, serve you, and get some images into your hands once you decide to choose me to spend your wedding day with you. I want you to be so sure of our connection, and trust in me from the moment you sign your contract!
SO hello! Congrats on your engagement, and if all of this sounds like it would work for you, let’s chat!
