As a photographer, I am always taking the first kiss photo from where the officiant was standing. That moment is much more memorable with those people you love in the photo as well
Instructions regarding photos, food, can usually be posted ie overhead. You are so right even with a wedding planner or coordinator things will go "wrong". Go with it. You are getting married and that is really the objective.
If you’re having a religious ceremony let your guests who aren’t of the same faith know the rituals. Like for Greek Orthodox, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh etc. so people aren’t Being disrespectful, and know what to expect
I would have a table behind the decor at the alter for the rings, place to put brides bouquet, anything else that needs to be put away or used during the ceremony.
If you are doing a unity ceremony make sure everything you need is actually where it belongs before the ceremony starts. If you're doing unity candles make sure you have matches, if you're doing a sand ceremony make sure you have a funnel if you need one.
I did a sand ceremony at my first wedding. We had 3 colors to include my son. We didn't practice. During the ceremony our officiant handed me my son's color, so I had red instead of purple, and my husband's was green.... We ended up with a candy cane jar. I also didn't bring wax to seal the top, and entrusted my partying sister to get it home. So it all shifted and it was a half-blended candy cane by the next day. This was my first sign that marriage was not going to be successful 😂😂😂
got engaged monday and im already ready to cry due to the people in my life telling me what i should be and shouldn't be doing and i haven't even started thinking about planning. my grandmother told me only 4 people will go to my wedding and she wont come then because she wont be a 5th wheel......................................WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where did she pull that random # of 4 out of and you wouldn't come to my wedding if you were a quote on quote "5th wheel"... oh no shes threatening me so ill invite her bf that i met 1x for 2 whole minuets. like what is this engagement era?
I've been challenging myself to only cook with things that are in my fridge/ freezer. I love it so far cause it challenges me to get creative. I've been seriously slacking on getting my canned goods and I need to get back on it. But I've noticed that me only using what we have in our home and deleting doordash has definitely helped us save
Can you do a series on cultural/rel;igious changes - and planning cultural/religious weddings and what to be aware of. A lot of these are not helpful for my cultural background
I love your videos but could you speak a little slower? 😂 I get a headache trying to follow...sorry I'm not american not used to such fast paced talking
1-The officiant should never ever hold a microphone of any kind in the couples faces 2- I feel that having a microphone stand when they are reading the vows is a bad idea, it the photo the stand looks awful like a fly on a forehead so I keep the hand held in my back pocket I give them the vows starting with the groom hand him the mic and get out of the way for the photographer.
We kissed at the end of the aisle at our wedding with everyone cheering in the background and it's one of my favorite photos. ❤ Highly recommend!
That is a fantastic idea! I hope you had a great wedding ❤
Love love your content! Can you do some tips on brides that are introverts please!
Yes please!
Yes! My man is a total introvert, I would appreciate those tips so I could help him out too :)

Thank you for that, that's a really lovely tip :) I'm so bad at photos, I have no idea what to ask for
Don’t forget your veil in the bridal room 😂 keep it behind your wedding dress. Mine ended up behind bags of bridesmaid dresses

Thank you so much for all your videos! I’m getting married in 7 days and they really came in handy throughout the planning process ❤

first like, i guess i'm a superfan! taking lotsa notes over here
You’re just the best, Jamie. Love these tips & love being a member of the Master Course!
these videos would have been so helpful a few weeks ago! wedding was 9/22/23!
Can’t wait for the unity idea video ❤
Unity ceremony videos would be great. Our family has no real traditions, trying to help the couple come up with something.
