Kristi & Seth's stress-free wedding at The Kinsleeshop Farm

Hey there, lovebirds! Planning your big day should be exciting, not stressful. Here’s how you can keep things chill and enjoy every moment of your wedding journey.

1. Start Early

Starting your planning early gives you time to think and make decisions without rushing. It also helps you secure your favorite vendors before they get booked up.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

Money talks can be tough, but setting a clear budget from the get-go will save you stress later. Prioritize what matters most to you and your partner.

3. Choose the Right Vendors

Hiring experienced professionals, especially for key roles like photography and videography, ensures you get quality service. As a candid/documentary wedding videographer, my goal is to capture your day naturally and beautifully, so you can relive those genuine moments forever.

4. Keep Your Guest List Intimate

Focus on inviting people who truly matter to you. A smaller, more intimate gathering can reduce stress and create a warmer atmosphere.

5. Delegate Tasks

You don’t have to do it all yourself. Trust your friends and family to help with tasks, so you can focus on enjoying the process.

6. Stay Organized

Keep all your planning details in one place. Whether it’s a binder, an app, or a spreadsheet, staying organized will help you keep track of everything.

7. Take Breaks

Wedding planning can be intense. Make sure to take breaks and spend quality time with your partner doing things you love.

8. Communicate Openly

Keep an open line of communication with your partner. Share your thoughts and listen to each other to make joint decisions that reflect both your wishes.

9. Practice Self-Care

Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Whether it’s through exercise, meditation, or a favorite hobby, make sure to de-stress regularly.

10. Enjoy the Process

Remember, your wedding is a celebration of your love. Focus on the joy of the journey and the wonderful memories you’re creating together.

By following these tips, you can plan a wedding that’s as relaxed and joyful as your love story. And when the big day arrives, I’ll be there to capture those candid, beautiful moments that make your wedding unique.
