My top three things I always tell potential clients are:
1. Make sure you like the personality of your photographer. They will be the one service provider that will be with you the entire day!
2. Really LOOK at their work. Can you see yourself in their shots? Scrutinize their photography. If you don’t LOVE it, then...

I recently hosted the Beverly Hills Chapter Grand Opening of Wedding And Event Specialists. There were so many great people in attendance and it was a huge success. We had Jaime Macias of Lensely Automatic bring in one of his “photo booths” to capture some fun images. The greatest thing about his booths is that...

Be prepared to spend some cash in this place. Soooo much fun! And here is the kicker: they carry new Diana cameras! These babies were so...

I so often see brides getting the normal cake: traditional, white, flowers, gorgeous, boring. Think outside the box and go with something fun! If you HAVE to have the traditional you might consider doing a “Groom’s Cake.” These cakes are meant to be fun and funky. Check this cake out by Melinda of CAKEgoodness. She...

Tipping your vendors can be a bit tricky and a lot overwhelming. You have just paid for one of the most intense events you will probably ever throw and tipping after the party seems like an odd way to end the night. There are two options: 1. pre-tip or 2. have your best man or...

If you are considering using a paperless service for your invitations such as Paperless Post I would recommend it as a supplement to a simple smaller invite. Big bulky invitations usually have 5 to 10 if not more page inserts. Why not design something classically elegant on one piece of exceptionally nice double or triple...

Eco-friendly Photographer? How can that be? Here is a list of several ways I try to not make an impact on the environment:
1. Being an advocate is the first step. Many brides don’t really know where to start. By knowing who the environmentally friendly venues are, and which vendors are “green” and referring those specialists...
