We got married last month and it was the most perfect day we could have ever imagined! Everything was flawless AND we got all the special moments captured by our super ultra talented photographer (see pics)

Major takeaways:- Get a day of coordinator (planner if possible). Even if you think you don’t need one, get one!!- Prioritize photos!! I did and am ultra happy because we can relive each and every moment with alllll the pictures we have of us and our guests having so much fun (also — doing couples photos throughout the night have us a chance to be away from everyone for a couple minutes here and there and it was so peaceful and intentional) -Small weddings are THE BOMB!! We got to spend ample amount of time with each guest; were able to have a 5 hour full open bar and high end Buffett; and got photos with everyone that attended!

    Thank you for the advice!

    We are having 50 guests so really excited to embrace the "small" wedding and make it memorable (we were originally planning 60-80, but Covid rescheduling cut our numbers considerably). I LOVE photos and want a ton of them but feel like the night is going to go so fast if we keep sneaking away.

    Gorgeous photo! Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing and for the tips. My #1 priority are photos, which is why I want two photographers we us throughout the day. But we'll see if I get my way.

    Yes 2 photographers is a must!! That way the second one can be with the groom and groomsmen while the main photographer gets all the bridal getting ready shots! That was vital in making our day go so smoothly

    Yes small guest count made our wedding sooo fun! Also, the night will go by fast no matter what, so IMO get all the photos so that you have them to relive the whole day by! And it was only 10 min here and 10 min there — the night photos were totally worth it. But my greatest advice is splurge on your photographer, because their experience and professionalism is what is going to make your day either flawless or stressful

    We LOVE our photographer (I'm a photographer myself, so was very picky when choosing one for our wedding). We are down to 47 guests (seated at just six tables) but I'm really looking forward to being able to interact with everyone and have a fun event. Two days to go!

    Random question: where did you find your husband’s suit? I really like it. Beautiful pictures by the way.

    It was actually a local, family owned company in Minneapolis, MN. We searched really hard to find a nice suit for him and all the big companies just didn’t have anything we liked

    I just wanted to say that the night went SO FAST and even with 50 guests it felt like I barely got to enjoy my wedding because so much time was taken up hosting, greeting everyone, taking pictures, etc. It ended up being wonderful though, and I'm glad we didn't have a much larger event.
