How planning works with me
I’ve put almost 30 years of wedding-day experience into making your day as smooth and seamless as possible. Every couple I book gets a private planning space that asks the right questions at the right time, so nothing gets missed and nobody’s scrambling on the day.
What almost 30 years teaches you
Most wedding stress isn’t the big stuff. It’s little things nobody wrote down. So I wrote them all down, and turned them into a plan you can fill in from your couch.
Now you tell me who’s who ahead of time. I build the order: grandparents and little ones first, so they can sit down or run off.
Your timeline pulls the real sunset for your date and town, and pencils golden hour in for you.
Pin every spot on a map, with rural directions in the notes. Your vendors will never get lost again.
Your guests get a simple wedding website with the schedule, directions and FAQ, at the same link.
One link, start to finish
You get one private web address with both your names in it. It grows with you.
About three minutes. Your date, your town, your people, and a few important questions about the dance floor. I send availability and a quote by email.
I build a page just for you two, with the collections that fit what you told me. Pick one and I’ll send your contract. Read it and sign it online.
Once you’ve signed, the planning opens up. Fill it in whenever, in any order. It saves as you go, and I see it all.
Before the wedding, that link is a website for your guests. After it, the same link is where your films live.
Take a look inside
Built for phones first, because let’s be honest, that’s where wedding planning happens. Here’s a made-up couple, Hannah & Brody, to show you around.
Home
See how far along you are, what’s left, and what your wedding date usually looks like weather-wise, with the sunset time. No logins. Just your private link.
Why: couples tell me the hardest part is knowing what they’ve forgotten. Now there’s a checklist that fills itself in.
Timeline
Change a time and everything slides into place. I pull the real sunset for your date and town, and golden hour is already pencilled in. Trust me on this one.
Why: a timeline that works for photos and film is something I’ve built hundreds of times. Now you start with mine instead of a blank page.
Family photos
Add your people, tell me who needs a chair, and I build the photo order: grandparents and kids first, the big group last. There’s a private spot for family dynamics too. Divorced parents, someone you’re honouring who’s passed, who shouldn’t stand together. No judgement. Just names.
Why: nobody wants a guest to feel awkward or left out in the family photos. Knowing ahead of time means I can handle it quietly.
Map pins
Drop pins for getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, where you’re staying and that hill with the best sunset in the county. Gravel-road directions are welcome in the notes.
Why: out here, half the best spots don’t have an address.
Seating chart
Paste your guest list, add round or long tables, and seat people with a tap or a drag. Keep the feuding cousins apart. I won’t ask.
Why: it also tells me where Grandma is sitting during the speeches, so I can catch her reaction.
Music, people & your story
Your aisle song, first dance and last song of the night. The people I should know (who’s Grandma, who’s the uncle with the polka). How you met, and the proposal story. Who cried?
Why: the best films come from knowing what matters to you before I ever press record.
For your guests
Pick a style, add a welcome note, choose which parts of the schedule and which places guests see, then add your registry and FAQ. Turn it on when you’re ready. Your secret spots never show up.
Why: fewer “where do I park?” texts on the morning of your wedding.
What you won’t have to do
“My real job on your wedding day isn’t holding a camera. It’s keeping the stress away from you, so you can be in the moment. After almost 30 years of wedding days, I know where things go sideways. This is how I make sure they don’t.”
