• Cold Jollof Is A Crime And Other Vendor Truths
    Feb 13 2026

    Send a text

    Wedding days bend under two pressures—time and coordination—and the vendors you choose decide which way things go. We share hard-won lessons from the aisle about keeping ceremony, portraits, and reception within one venue, how a planner or trusted coordinator can save hours, and why a 30-minute pre-event vendor call melts away drama before it starts. If you want more joy and fewer sprints between car parks, this guide is for you.

    We dig into camera-ready makeup that survives flash, sweat, and mixed lighting, and explain why trials are not a luxury but insurance for soft, timeless looks. You’ll hear how respectful handovers between hair, makeup, photo, and video protect first looks and bridal party portraits. We unpack decor choices that read beautifully on camera and the overlooked necessity of leaving tripod lanes and clean sightlines for multi-angle filming. Add a digital order of the day guests can access on their phones, and crowd control turns into calm, friendly momentum.

    Photography and videography are the only parts that gain value over time, so we make the case for booking them early and using their expertise to assess venues, lighting, and timelines. We also talk about the guest experience that lingers: hot food served on time and sound levels tuned for clarity, whether it’s a DJ or a live band. Across planners, makeup artists, decorators, caterers, DJs, MCs, photographers, and videographers, one theme holds—the right professionals protect your experience, your energy, and your legacy. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s planning, and leave us a review to help more couples design days that feel as good as they look.

  • Wedding date is confirmed, Now What!
    Feb 6 2026

    Send us a text

    Two years away gave us perspective, and we came back with a promise: help couples plan smarter, calmer weddings through the lens of real photography and film experience. We kick off our Wedding Series with the moment that shapes everything—what to do right after you set your date—and we keep it practical, honest and free of fluff.

    We start with alignment. Before a single deposit, define the kind of day you want: destination or private, party-fuelled or intimate, natural light or editorial polish. That clarity guides venue choices, guest count, timelines and the creative style that will age well in your home. From there, we explain why booking your photographer and videographer early isn’t a luxury; it’s the backbone of the plan. A strong team helps protect your light, map portrait windows, and sync with makeup, hair and décor so key moments are captured without rush.

    Budget talk gets real. We share what a realistic photo and video budget includes—pre-production, shoot, and the deep work of culling, colour and delivery—and why cheap shortcuts can cost you dearly years later. Then we dig into timelines that respect photography time, the ripple effects of late makeup, and how a point person keeps bridal party portraits smooth. Finally, we make the case for consultations and engagement shoots as trust builders that reduce anxiety and raise final image quality. You won’t meet your team for the first time on the aisle; you’ll step into a familiar rhythm that lets you be yourselves.

    If you’re setting a date, or guiding a friend who is, this conversation will anchor your plan, protect your peace and preserve your memories. Subscribe for the next chapters—choosing the right vendors, planning an engagement session, and building a stress-resistant schedule—and share this with someone who needs it. If this helped, leave a quick review so more couples can find it.
