3 Things NOT to Cut From Your Wedding Budget

“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.

Fiesta Inspired Engagement Photos at Mission Espada

Engagement Session at the San Antonio Historical Mission San Francisco de la Espada

In a little less than a month, these two will be saying “I Do”!! We are so excited for their upcoming wedding and are so excited to be able to share their engagement session at the beautiful Mission Espada. We love personalizing each and every one of our sessions and love that there is so much history behind why they chose Mission Espada for their engagement session. Mike’s family has so much history here, his family lived not far from Mission Espada and would spend a lot of time here. Mike’s father was also a Deacon and so it was extra special to find this out. Not only is Mission Espada a beautiful historical landmark but when you are there, there is a calm and serene feeling that overcomes you- Or maybe it was that Mike and Jodie are so relaxed and fun to be around that it just made it feel that way. They are such a sweet couple and Sam and I couldn’t be happier to be able to document their love story.
