some of our favorite heartfelt moments from Anna Marie + Blake’s wedding day 💌

there are so many priceless moments throughout a wedding day - it’s one of the reasons why we love our photographer and videographer friends so much! killed it (as always) on these!

Just look at this!! is like something out of a dream! 💌

Earlier this spring, and .zeagler.photography hosted a lovely styled shoot with an incredible vendor team! We’ve got a ton of magical moments from this day to catch you up on, but for now it’s safe to say that we’re just huge fans of Oxbow Estate!

2025 brides, be sure to check into this venue as you begin planning!! 🥂

ahh the sparkler exit!! 💌✨

Here are a few (very assorted) things to keep in mind from a planner’s pov!

// have guests line up and give detailed instructions as the couple is having their last dance

// to enhance photos, have guests hold more than one sparkler and gather in the back when the couple makes it to the end of the line. Also remember that the longer the sparklers, the more time you’ll have to get that perfect shot. Many of our photographer + videographer friends will have couples do that famous dip kiss more than once :)

// keep a torch lighter for easy lighting and a basket for used sparklers nearby

That’s just a few of our many tips for surviving sparkler exits! These double as both one of the scariest parts of wedding day while also one of our favorites - there’s nothing quite like weaving through a line of guests holding sticks of fire haha. BUT this is also such a sweet moment because the couple is full of pure joy + the wedding-day nerves have all finally worn off! This is when we typically hear a lot of things like…

“we LITERALLY couldn’t have done it without you” or
“thank you SO MUCH - my wedding was perfect”

So basically, we have the best brides and know a thing or two about sparkler exits 🤍

*hot take* one thing’s for sure - we don’t start weddings late around here. That’s a big no from us! 👋🏻

Rest assured, we will get you down the aisle on time!!

Actually at one of our most recent weddings, our team was trying to beat a rain shower and started an outdoor ceremony five minutes EARLY (collective gasp)! Shoutout and for trusting us with that one! It turned out perfectly!

We’ve all heard the stories of ceremonies starting 30…45 minutes…up to an hour late?! Chances are that there wasn’t a planner on site (we hope lol). There’s so much that goes into planning your special day, so the least we can all do is start on time, right?

Whether you were there as a vendor or guest… comment your stories of late ceremonies below 👇🏼

While the colder months definitely aren’t peak wedding season, there is just something soo classy and elegant about a winter wedding!

One of the most crucial parts of wedding day is… 👀

COCKTAIL HOUR! While guests enjoy a casual social time together, it’s *go time* for wedding vendors! There is soo much going on behind the scenes :)

> our photographer and videographer friends are usually hustling to fit in family + newlywed shots, etc. Cocktail hour is sometimes also used for final detail shots of the reception space.
> the caterer is often cranking out the finishing touches on the meal, filling glasses… among many other things!

> as planners, we’re usually running around moving decor from the ceremony to the reception, triple checking table decor and straightening/adjusting things for the 7,000th time, and making sure everything is on schedule!

So it’s pretty safe to say, cocktail hour is suuuper important for the overall flow of wedding day. Even though we love looking back at all the pretty pictures, there is much more going on than most guests realize! 🥂
