Frequently Asked Questions

How can I create a detailed wedding plan to reduce stress?

Start by setting realistic goals and breaking them into smaller tasks with deadlines. Use wedding planning software or an app to keep everything organised, and delegate tasks to trusted friends and family.

What steps can I take to set and stick to a wedding budget?

Set a realistic budget based on what you can afford, prioritise the most important aspects of the wedding, negotiate with vendors, and be open to compromises to stay within your budget.

How do I choose a wedding venue that matches my style?

Research and visit potential venues, ensuring they align with your style and personality. Consider details like accessibility, parking, and catering to ensure the venue meets all your needs.

What are the benefits of hiring a wedding planner?

A wedding planner can handle all the details, from vendor contracts to day-of coordination, allowing you to enjoy the planning process and your big day without stress. Ensure they have experience and a good reputation.

How can I manage stress and take care of myself during wedding planning?

Set aside time each week for relaxation and self-care, whether through exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Taking care of yourself helps you manage stress and enjoy the wedding planning process.

Investment

I film a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each one proper time in planning, filming and the edit.

My collections are set up for larger, family-centred days and full weekend celebrations, where film is a key part of the budget and the experience.
