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.

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!

A Colorful Fiesta Inspired Wedding at Mission San Jose

A Vibrant & Heartfelt Wedding in Downtown San Antonio

It was difficult to come up with the right words to describe Jodie & Mike’s wedding day. Sam and I sat for over an hour reliving the day and One thing was for sure – it was a day we will never forget. 

Everything fell perfectly into place that day. It was smoking hot out but that didn’t seem to bother Jodie and Mike, in fact Jodie came prepared with a white umbrella and portable mini fan (that I may or may not have borrowed a few times-lol). We found a quiet shaded area for the first look and what an emotional first look it was. Mike’s face was priceless when he saw his beautiful bride, and it was one of the sweetest moments. If you haven’t visited Mission San Jose Church, you are definitely missing out. It is such a gorgeous church both inside and out and when Jodie and Mike were at the Altar, there was a loving presence that was felt. It was as if time stood still, it was such a heartwarming ceremony.

An Engagement Session at Hemisfair Park and Yanaguana Garden

A ROMANTIC ENGAGEMENT SESSION & PROPOSAL RE-ENACTMENT IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

We just love our couples! When Sarah & Ian came over for their wedding consultation, I couldn’t believe we had been chatting for over 2 hours. I love how they are so outgoing and easy to talk to, when you talk to them it’s like talking to a friend you have known for years. Ian is such a fun storyteller. We enjoyed hearing their love story, from how they met to how he proposed to their wedding plans – when they are together, you can clearly see that they are soulmates.
