What does a Wedding Planner do?
So, what does a wedding planner actually do? To be quite honest, I don’t think a lot of people know. A bank teller once told me that my job seemed “magical!” Yes “magical” is somewhat correct because I can sometimes make magic happen! LOL! And I have gotten countless people who have told me that my job looks like “so much fun!” Now don’t get me wrong, it is, but it also involves a lot of hard and labor-intensive work. So, I thought it would be fun this week to create some gifs to show everyone’s different perception of what we do. Hope you enjoy! WHAT MY FRIENDS THINK I…

Yeah well, I determined after 8 years, that moment was not coming anytime soon! So I just needed to “just do it!” Thanks, Nike for the motivational quote! I think the hardest decision for me was who…

One of the best Thank You’s ever!
I remember that exact moment in 2016 when she “popped the question!” We were at Kaladi Brothers having our usual wedding pre-planning meeting…”As a thank you, would you like to go on a helicopter ride with Turner and me?” Um, yeah, do birds fly??? And that’s how it happened. But life also happens, and years went by, and then out of the blue, I got a call. “Hey Lorell, it’s Audry!” It hit me by surprise because for the first 20 seconds or so, I had no idea who I was talking to! She explained that she was now 8 months pregnant, and wanted to do a maternity shoot on…
