Pro Tip: Just Hire Yourself

Pro Tip: No, I don't mean take iPhone photos of your wedding DIY. Lord help me if that's really a thing. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hire Yourself, meaning it's a good idea to hire a photographer/videographer you feel is similar to the fabulous you. Personality wise. Style wise. Vibe wise. Intra vs Extravert wise.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Do you tend to be loud? Hire someone outgoing that loves to talk and be prominent on the scene. Tend to be quiet? Hire the ninja photographer who speaks softly with intent in the right moments.

Type A who needs a schedule? Hire someone who is big on pre-planning and a timeline. Or are you Go With The Flow and need spontaneity? Hire someone who loves to let the light and the moment steer the day.

You will spend more time as a bride with your photographer on the wedding day, than you will with your new husband. You better make damn sure you actually would like hanging out with the person in charge of photos for 10 hours...on one of the most memorable days of your life.

I've seen it go wrong with videographers who don't gel with my couples on their day, and its oh so hard to watch go down. My teeth clench with awkwardness, and it makes me feel like I need to rescue you. โ›‘

I do makeup with you. I get dressed with you. I pose with you. I laugh with you. I travel with you. I sometimes have to go to the bathroom with you. I walk with you. I talk with you. I get married with you.

I like you, and you like me, because you hired yourself.
