How to Plan a Wedding That Actually Feels Like You

Forget the Pinterest boards. Forget the seating charts. Let’s start with a better question:

How do you want your wedding to feel?

That question changes everything. Because when you start from the inside — from values, rituals, and how you move through the world — you get a wedding that’s not just beautiful, but meaningful.

As a wedding photographer, I get to witness how design choices become love language. How taste becomes ritual. How couples who care deeply about atmosphere and artistry craft something quietly unforgettable.

A Few Ways My Couples Made It Their Own:

• They designed with intention. Every object had purpose — handmade menus, vintage chairs sourced from their favorite gallery, film stills printed as seating cards.

• They redefined the timeline. Ceremony at dusk, dinner before vows, barefoot cocktails before anyone else arrived.

• They let go of performance. No first dances, no big entrances — just quiet, unfolding moments with their people.

• They sourced from artists, not trends. Florists with a painter’s eye. Musicians who improvised the soundtrack. Custom embroidery. A handmade cake served on imperfect ceramic plates.

These choices didn’t make their weddings "extra." They made them theirs.

So if you’re someone who spends more time in galleries than in bridal shops, who dreams more in textures than themes — you’re not alone. I see you.

Let’s plan a day that feels like art, memory, and something entirely your own.
