“We saved over $4,000 before even booking our venue! This Mini-Course was hands-down the smartest thing we invested in during wedding planning.”
“I was completely lost before finding this Mini-Course. The Venue Guide alone saved us from booking a place with hidden fees. Best $47 we’ve spent on our wedding, period.”
“As a DIY bride on a tight budget, I finally felt seen. This Mini-Course gave me calm and confidence—without ever needing a planner.”

Over a decade ago, when we first started photographing weddings, we began noticing something that didn’t quite add up. Some weddings had beautiful, expensive venues but very little else. Others had lots of small details, but bigger things like catering was severely lacking. We couldn't figure out why each wedding was so different.
We were constantly getting asked questions about saving money on music, napkins, cake, the venue, everything that had to do with the wedding day. Our Brides wanted to save where they could and have more for things they wanted. We couldn't figure out the secret sauce.
But then one weekend, we photographed a wedding that changed everything for us. It was beautiful, intentional, and felt effortless. Standing there, we finally understood what we’d been missing all along. We started learning the amazing secrets of saving thousands on planning a wedding while getting more of what brides want.
