Feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning? You’re not alone. Many couples dive into the process with excitement, only to realize how quickly the decisions pile up. One of the best ways to reduce stress and keep things organized is to understand the order in which to book your vendors. When you have a clear plan, the entire journey feels more intentional and less overwhelming.
The first step almost always begins with your venue. Once you secure the location and date, everything else can fall into place. After that, it’s time to book your photographer and planner or coordinator. These vendors often fill their calendars quickly, so locking them in early ensures you’ll have the team you want by your side. From there, focus on catering, florals, music, and other creative professionals who bring personality and beauty to your day.
By following a thoughtful order, you avoid last-minute stress and can enjoy the planning process. Each decision builds upon the next, giving you confidence that your wedding will run smoothly. These guides are here to help you stay organized, book with intention, and create a celebration that feels effortless, elevated, and true to your vision.

Behind the Lens
Based on Vancouver Island, my work is inspired by atmosphere, light, and the subtle moments that often go unnoticed.
Rather than directing every frame, I focus on observing what is already there. The connection, the movement, the quiet energy of a moment as it unfolds.
The result is imagery that feels cinematic, refined, and deeply grounded in reality.
