Things worth
knowing before
you book.
These guides cover the questions couples ask most, the things vendors don't always mention, and the details that quietly shape how your day feels. No pressure to go through everything — they're here whenever they're useful.

Small things to think about ahead of the day — based on 10+ years of watching what helps and what catches people off guard at the last minute.

Maine locations, timing, what to wear, and how to make the session feel natural rather than posed.
Hair & Makeup
Timing per person, touch-ups, how to talk about how makeup holds under cameras and different lighting conditions.

Timeline control, how transitions actually work, backup plans, and the questions that separate good DJs from great ones.
Officiant & Florist
Ceremony length, mic setup, boutonniere pin count, delivery timing — details that quietly affect everything else.
Finding the Right Photographer
Five steps to cut through the noise, compare fairly, and figure out who actually fits your day — not just your budget.
Wedding Videography Guide
What to ask before you book video, how it works alongside photography, and what actually matters in a final film.
Midcoast Maine Locations
The spots that actually photograph well — with honest notes on timing, light, and what couples don't realize until they arrive.
Stay in the loop
without the noise.
Drop your email and I'll send guides as they're useful — not on a schedule. If you're planning a wedding, a few things timed to where you are in the process. If you're more interested in session openings, I'll let you know when those come up.
