~Print Your Wedding!~

Happy Monday ya'll!!!

I am finally slowly getting caught up in life, business and everything else since my crazy wedding season is coming to a slowing speed. I mean weddings every weekend since May has been SO fun but leaves little time for blog posts, and pretty much anything else!

Anywho on to a big and important topic in weddings . . . photography and prints.  I see SO many brides these days spend a TON of moolah on photography, but then not order one print or book or anything.  Yes they have the digital images to put up on FB, but what about a lovely print or book to display your BIG DAY in your home?  

I think this is huge:)

If you can't afford a book, at least order a big print to frame OR get a canvas print.

There are so many companies out there on-line that you can order these from for cheap!

One I have used recently is Printcopia . . . great prices, fast service and delivery of a great product!

I am currently going through ALL of the photography of this year's weddings, and want to pick my top 5 pics to print for my office on canvas prints. SUCH a hard choice but I am super excited!!!

Anywho here's my latest:

Thoughts?  If you are married, do you have a wedding book, prints or canvases in your home from your big day???

~Wedding Planner in Action~

Gooood morning everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend!

It sure feel like fall now, I am so ready to cuddle up in sweaters, boots and enjoy my coffee:)

AND what fall means to a wedding planner: we get all of our summer wedding photography back from the talented photographers we worked with all summer.

YAY!

While browsing through them

(trust me I will post each and every glorious wedding on here soon once weddings slow down!)

I found some fun gems of me in action.

Kinda fun, thanks photogs!

Note: I do not look fabulous after 10 hours of running around. Don't judge, I bust my booty and get all sweaty.  Because it's not about me at all, it's about my amazing couple's and making their day perfection!

At Liz and Kaushik's wedding ceremony at Fairview Park in Seattle.  What a perfect day!

Thanks Affinity Photography!

Pinning on the boutonnieres that I made:)

 I don't know what this face is, but I am obviously intently watching the ceremony, awww! Lol

THIS is of myself and the amazing team from Red Filter Photography.  We know how to rock a wedding.  Photobooth by Blink Photobooth. From Sarah and Simon's wedding at Maritime Event Center this summer.

From Holly and Matt's wedding at the gorgeous Arctic Club Hotel.  

Showing them how it's done;)

Thanks Affinity Photography yet again!

~Sweet Review, Thanks Stephanie!~

"Tamara is a gem. She is easy to work with, positive, energetic, organized and professional! She has an abundance of great and creative ideas, and she knows how to work on a budget. Everything you could ever want in a wedding planner. We got so lucky with her! Thanks to her help our wedding ran smoothl and totally stress-free. The decorations were even better than we imagined, we loved our cupcakes (done by a vendor she works with), and overall we were just so glad she was there to help guide us through. We got so much praise not just from our guests but from our caterer, photographer, even my hair and makeup stylist because of how organized she was and how easy it was to communicate with her. It was like having one of my good friends plan my wedding! She is just fabulous. Thanks Tamara, you're the best!"

Stephanie YOU my dear are a gem.  So full of life and hilarious! LOVED your vows, like they were the best ever.  You and your dad's dance was the bomb.  I loved loved working with you and Eric and hope we can remain friends forever and ever!

(This is my talented photographer Gabriel Van Whye doing what it takes to get the perfect shot, of the GORGEOUS Stephanie!)

See I am such a lucky planner to have such amazing friends/clients, right?!

Right.

I have been getting so many more sweet words, will post them here with ALL of the amazing pics from my crazy summer full of weddings soon!

~Tips for my Brides #4: Boutonniere Photography!~

Anyway I wanted to continue my small tips to my brides here!

Tips for My Brides #4: Boutonniere Photography

I will be one of the first to admit that planning a wedding is a LOT of work. A LOT of wedding details to plan (that's why I have a job, right?!).

                                                                     Source: stylemepretty.com via Tamara on Pinterest

So with all of the many details you have to think about, a lot of the little things get overlooked. Like a photo of the boutonnieres or bouquets by themselves.

This is one of my fave shots that I tell all of my brides to make sure that the photographers get this. Just because it is so darn cute. You pay for the boutonnieres (and some of you make them!) so why not show them off, so that you can remember how cute they were?

All you need is a fun background to lay them on. That's it!

Some can even take it one step further and add in tags for them. LOVE this little detail. LOVE.
