You’ve probably heard it a lot as a couple searching for a wedding videographer. Purchase the raw footage! Ask about raw footage! And it’s true — many publications, blogs, wedding planners, etc. will tell you that you absolutely need to purchase the raw footage from your videographer. But, when it comes time to receiving it, […]

How has it been over a year since I’ve written in this series? Well, I mean, 2020 did kind of flip things upside down in the wedding world — so it makes sense. As of today, I am just under 200 days until my wedding! Crazy, right? Garren and I have been engaged since September […]

You know, those ones that make you a little teary-eyed and grinning ear to ear? But then once the picture has been […]
