3 Things NOT to Cut From Your Wedding Budget

 

3-thing-to-not-cut-from-your-wedding-budget_san-antonio-photographer-7

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur”

According to Business Insider, the average wedding cost in the US is $33,391. You might say “There’s no way, I’ll spend that much on my wedding” – then find yourself stressing a few weeks later as the costs start adding up. All of a sudden you catch yourself saying “Ok what can I cut out”. Cutting things out can be liberating but it’s SOOOO important to remember, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur”.  Also, this is so cheesy and I hate saying it but the truth is, “You get what you pay for” and believe me- 99% of the time it’s not in a good way. But have no fear! We are here to help you! Below are 3 things you should definitely not cut out of your wedding budget.

Texas Hill Country Bridal Portraits | Geronimo Oaks | Shauna

Sunset-Hill-Country-Bridal-Portraits_Geronimo-Oaks_Seguin_TX

Shauna & Josh’s Rustic Red Firefighter themed wedding was AMAZING!!

The beautiful Shauna is Married!!! Yesterday’s wedding was a HOT one- 100 degrees hot to be exact! Of course, it was totally fitting for this hot firefighter wife! So just to give our readers a little update – I know I have been neglecting our blog for a while but we had been busily working on our Olvera Photography Commercial website (which is up finally -YAY!) and unfortunately, I have been dealing with a few health issues but I am finally feeling a little better and have a surgery scheduled next week that hopefully will make me feel back to normal.  If you know me- then you know I love themed everything- and themed weddings are my favorite. Last year we photographed a school bus themed engagement for our couple who met on the school bus in 7th grade (they even had a school bus at their wedding)!

Shauna+Josh|Firefighter Engagement Session|San Antonio Wedding Photographer

Shauna & Josh’s Sunrise Engagement Session | San Antonio, TX.

How adorable are these two?? I’m always a little nervous going into any session but when another photographer hires you, it’s a whole new set of nervous feelings. Lucky for us, Shauna and Josh are not only the sweetest couple but they are so much fun to be around. We love joking around and having fun at our sessions and these two definitely had fun! We could have photographed them all day. Shauna is not only a teacher but a photographer at Little Munchkins Photography. Josh is a firefighter, so of course, when Shauna mentioned taking photos at the fire station, we knew it was going to be a blast. We love showcasing every couple’s unique love story and to be invited into the lives of our couple’s is such an amazing honor. We love learning about Shauna and Josh throughout the session, we love to see what makes them smile and laugh and make mental notes throughout the session to be better prepared for some even more amazing photos on their Wedding Day. I love how Shauna’s sweet boy also had fun at the session. His smile is the cutest and I especially love how they all were giggling at each other during the walking photos. Although it stormed the night before and into the morning, it cleared up perfectly just before sunrise giving us the most amazing morning- and some cool water reflection photos. The portraits we took at the fire station were so much fun, we also got a little glimpse of what fun to expect when some of Josh’s co-workers came out and started joking around. Sam and I know the wedding day is going to be unforgettable!
