Brides are using AI to find their wedding vendors.

It’s brilliant.

I had a bride book me yesterday who told me she actually used ChatGPT to find her wedding vendors. She searched based on budget, location, and reviews, and ChatGPT recommended me.

I think this is SO interesting. As we know, AI is changing the way couples approach their weddings. I already knew they were using it to help them build graphics for the website, create their save the dates- but had no idea that they were using it to find their vendors, and I think this is a good thing.

Brides are getting recommendations that fit their needs, budgets, and locations, while small businesses like mine have another way to connect with couples who are genuinely looking for what we offer. AI is filtering out what DOESN’T work for them, making them less likely to have decision exhaustion and more likely to book with you.

At the end of the day, it’s still about the experience we provide, and the trust we build with our clients. Reviews were important to this specific bride as well because she needed someone SHE COULD TRUST on her special day and my (76) 5 star reviews proved that to her. The way couples FIND us is evolving, and I think it’s exciting to be part of that shift.

Wedding vendors! Are we already embracing this change or are we still figuring it out? And to all the future brides planning their weddings, apparently ChatGPT might be part of your vendor search, too!

✨Patrick & Devon ✨

This had to be one of the most difficult galleries for me to narrow down. These two FROM THE START felt like friends we have had for life vs brand new clients. The love that they were surrounded by was beautiful and we couldn’t be happier for The Clancy’s āœØšŸ¤āœØ

We have been cleaning out our ā€œstorageā€ basement to make some more room in the house. And I just kept saying ā€œwe have so many THINGSā€. We ended up decluttering so much that it really had us thinking about what we will be bringing into the house moving forward.

One thing we LOVE, is photos! We have our anniversary photo session booked with Krista | WEDDINGS & EVENTS and we cannot be more excited. Whether it’s a photo session, or a trip we are trying to collect more moments and memories rather than physical objects. What do you do for your loved ones for special moments? Please put them in the comments below!!!

I loved every second of Kelli and Vinnie’s engagement session last month! (We had such a good time together that we lost track of time and just kept shooting!). I cannot wait to spend their wedding day with them next month! šŸ¤

Gabby & Quentin šŸ¤

What a WEDDING! I don’t think I’ll ever get over how unique their day was at The Farm at Glenwood in Wantage, NJ. This is easily one of the most memorable venues I’ve had the chance to photograph—and yes, the Highland cows absolutely stole my heart.

From the beautiful scenery to the incredible food (seriously… SO good!), every detail of their day felt so perfectly them.

Watching Gabby and Quentin celebrate their love surrounded by all of their favorite people was amazing. Their friends and family brought so much energy, laughter, and love to the day, and you could feel just how special this group is to them.

Gabby & Quentin, thank you for trusting me to capture such an incredible chapter of your story. Your day was one I won’t soon forget. šŸ¤

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, good food, and maybe a few Highland cows along the way. šŸ„āœØ ( I know my assistant is saving his earnings for his own highland cow šŸ˜‚)
