Wedding Tips | Book an Engagement Session

We are so excited to have Alex Buzek, from Alex Marie Photography, taking over our blog today to share with us her favorite wedding tip! Alex is a Cincinnati girl who loves margaritas, rescue puppies, and long naps (this sounds like our kind of girl!). She is engaged to her fiancee she met freshman year in college and after 9 years of love they are planning their own wedding. She has been in business for 4 years and has specialized in weddings for two years. She captures beautiful, authentic moments so that her couples can have and cherish them for a lifetime.
“Something I cannot recommend enough is having an engagement session with your wedding photographer.  This is actually something I have built into my contracts and it is nonnegotiable so couples cannot exchange them for a refund and they cannot use the session towards something else it is literally a gift that I get to my couples because it enhances their wedding photography experience so much.
 
Can you imagine on your wedding day, one of the most important days of your your life, having someone show up to photograph it and you have never even met them before?
 
The last feeling that I ever want my couples to feel as uncomfortable. Having an engagement session establishes trust and builds the relationship. When your photographer walks into the room on your wedding day you want to feel like that is your friend and they’ve got your back. I know that is how I want to feel!
It also makes your photographers job easier because they will already know exactly how the couple interacts so they know well in advance whether a couple is silly, flirty, quiet and shy,  or even insecure over certain things and they will be prepared to pose and direct with those things in mind!
 
The session also guarantees that you will have images that you love on your wedding day because an engagement session is just practice!! There’s absolutely no way to ruin it! So when the wedding day is here- you will feel like a pro and your only job is to relax, enjoy your day and have fun!”

They were stunning and our guests raved about how beautiful the bouquets and decor were! Kaytee understood our vision and created a beautiful setting for the wedding. Last but not least, Kaytee worked well within our budget and made good recommendations. Thanks Kaytee and team!"

Highly recommend Roots Floral Design - absolutely beautiful!

“Kaytee is an absolute GEM! She has so much passion and care for what she does, that you feel like she's a friend more than a vendor. She walks you through each step of the floral process with organization, examples, cost, and detail -- all things that make my detail-oriented heart happy. The end result far exceeded anything we could have hoped for or imagined. ALL. THE. GREENERY. Future brides, run, don't walk to Roots for your wedding. From start to finish, she took care of every single floral need to make our day positively beautiful.”

-Laura, Summer 2019 Wedding

FROM START TO FINISH, SHE TOOK CARE OF EVERY SINGLE FLORAL NEED.

"Kaytee became so much more than a vendor for us. The first time I met her I felt as though I met a long lost friend. She was the very first vendor I chose for the wedding (even before the venue) and she lived up to all my expectations and went above and beyond.  Each time I met with her I felt confident that she completely comprehended my wants and would fashion them into something that looks put together, yet natural. The day-of she silently transformed a bland rustic space into an enchanting, romantic barn. I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful or unique."

-Grace, Spring 2019 Wedding

THE FIRST TIME I MET HER I FELT AS THOUGH  I MET A LONG LOST FRIEND.

"Kaytee was so great to work with!!! I provided her with some floral inspirations from Pinterest and Instagram but gave her a lot of free rein coming up with the flowers for our wedding and she went above and beyond expectations. Our photographer was obsessed with all the bouquets and we got so many great pictures of them! She did such a good job making my smaller budget work to make high impact arrangements. She's also the sweetest person to be around!"

-Bo, Spring 2019 Wedding

SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!
