All the on-the-day vendors including hair, makeup, music, catering, cake, photographer, celebrant and florals and everyone leading up to the day preparing the stationary, the cars and attire and of course the venue, brought their absolute A-game and Kyle and I felt like we hit the vendor jackpot.

"On the day, turn ALL your phone notifications off "On the day, turn ALL your phone notifications off. You don’t need it, and you certainly don’t need to be answering anyone on your wedding day. Cover up all the clocks, you don’t need to know the time. You just need to relax and trust that your vendors, wedding party & family will have you ready and in the next place, on time. And take some time for just yourselves. Make your portrait session longer than just 30 minutes, eat dinner together and dance on the dance floor together."⁠ ⁠ Wise & wonderful words from bride (and wedding photographer) Jamie.
