Vendors – Finding your dream team!

The search is on!

So your amazing wedding story is just waiting to be told, and with the care and attention is truly deserves. Picking your perfect team… It can be a bit of a daunting job can’t it!? But it’s probably the most important aspect of all the wedding prep. And the difference between having just a bog standard team of vendors to tell your incredibly unique story or a team that will carefully take you by the hand and look after you every step of the way, is HUGE! But don’t worry for a second, I’ve got your back. From my own personal experience of photographing over one hundred wedding stories, I truly believe you can immediately see which setups have had so much love and attention poured into them from the moment you step into the room (and then I let out a happy sigh, a massive grin and immediately get lost in taking so many pictures, ha!). So delving in and doing your research to get your dream team in place will mean you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the process from beginning to end, knowing your story is in the safest of hands. You can begin pouring yourself into all those lovely personal touches and details that make the world of difference, and not feel an ounce of stress.

 

As my lovely couples know, at the very beginning of their adventure, I love to send a big ol’ welcome pack, and within that, I love to include a list of recommend vendors that can really help out.. So in a time when the world has slowed down a little, and when we’d usually be in the middle of telling those incredible wedding stories in the Spring/Summer sunshine. I’ve finally been given the time to shout from the rooftops! In other words, support these amazing people and put together a blog post of these epic “dream team” wedding vendors  that will truly have your back at every turn when we’re allowed to celebrate again. From delicious food that “rather awkwardly” will have you uncontrollably drooling (it’s a hazard, haha), gorgeous blooms of flowers so carefully put together that you’ll spend hours trying to work out, how. To hair & makeup artists whose patience and delicate touch is unworldly. These guys are on it!

 

So, go grab that delicious cuppa…or beverage depending on when you’ve give yourself some reading time, and let me take you on a little tour of some of the kindest souls and best in the business who I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I know they’d love nothing more than to help you tell your epic story:
