    Dj came first since it’s my FH associate and I was very picky when it came to the photographer so it took us awhile longer to decide on one lol but photographer was more important to me!

    Both were equally as important, but we ended up booking the DJ first.

    We booked our DJ and photographer within a couple days of each other. I’m a teacher and wanted to get as much booked before school started as possible. I ended up accepting a new position in a new district and had to start way earlier than my previous district so I had a whole bunch of meetings in about a week’s time to get everything done!

    It will be photographer. We're not booking a DJ, using bluetooth speakers and a playlist instead.

    Photographer - so we could get our engagement pictures in the season we wanted and DJ a week or so after.

    Photographer! That was the first vendor we hired after the venue. I knew who I wanted to work with, so I made sure to lock them down as soon as we had a venue.

    Photographer! I actually came across her work while researching venues and fell in love with her style, so we reached out as soon as we booked the venue to see if she was available.
