I never take a good wedding planner for granted. Ever.
Because here's what most people don't see. A wedding planner like Cork & Vows | Carmel Wedding Planner is why photos can happen and why they happen well. Little things like her texting me the second a reception space is photo ready. It's her building in real time before guests walk in, so we're never rushing or shooting around people. It's her double checking the candles are lit, the chairs are lined up, the linens are pressed, before I even lift my camera. Little things that make a massive difference in every single frame delivered to our clients.
It's her putting the guest and client experience first, always, no matter what's happening behind the scenes. It's her counting RSVPs against ceremony seats and pulling chairs last minute because an empty seat in a photo is never the vibe. It's her making sure I actually get to sit for dinner, because a fed photographer is a better photographer, and she knows it.
It's her having my back when I need an extra ten minutes with the couple, or when timeline chaos hits and someone needs to keep the day moving without anyone feeling the stress of it.
You'd expect it from every planner but unfortunately, it's not always the case. It's just what the best ones do. And Jess of Cork & Vows does it every single time.
Teaming up with a planner like her doesn't just make my job easier, it makes the whole day better. For the couple, for the guests, for everyone. It's a genuine joy getting to work alongside her.
Grateful for planners who get it. Grateful for Jess and can't wait for more weddings together!! 🕊️🥂
