Scribbled Notes and Bride Status- Planning my wedding


I remember January 2010 very clearly. 
I stared at my hand more that month than any other time in my life, but you can't blame me, there was sparkly new rocks on my finger that signified that I was now taken.
Engaged! Off the market! 
That, uh hello, I was gettin married! 


Bride status is like royalty status.
You get to choose vendors and outfits.
You try out pretty dresses and plan your ball.   

I remember I had a thick binder full of cut out photos of flowers, hairstyles and cakes. 
I had receipts from vendors and scribbled notes from the day I found my wedding dress.

I kept track of everything, made a timeline and sent out mass emails to friends and family with schedules and what colors to wear and addresses on where to be.

I loved. each. detail.


And as much as I love marriage, those months of planning for our big day, were like a bonus season leading up to the biggest day of your life.

Wife status is awesome.
But bride status is pretty rockin too!

Soak it up brides!

Wedding season 2013 is underway!

I am so happy to welcome 7 new amazing couples this month to the 2013 wedding calendar! 
Their days all all different, planned out to perfectly fit their unique day.  

Lake Tahoe, Flagstaff and Midland Texas are all on the radar for destination weddings this year and I cannot wait! 


I believe in offering my clients the best customer service possible. To achieve this I only take on a limited amount of weddings each year so that I can dedicate the time I need to my brides and grooms. 

The calendar is filling up very quickly this year, so if you are interested in booking a wedding send me your dates and lets get talking! I already have bookings into 2014 ( I know, gotta love those planners!) So its never too early to start getting your date locked down! 


If you have any questions or want to chat about options, feel free to email me anytime at jenn@jennwagnerphotography.com.
