Langley Ever After

Many couples who don’t opt for a first look are choosing to do a First Touch instead. So, what is a “First Touch”? A First Touch is a moment on the wedding day when the couple gets to talk in an intimate setting WITHOUT seeing each other before meeting at the altar. There are a lot of benefits of having a first touch! Including.. ✨ It’s an in intentional way of spending time with your partner before the ceremony, even if you don’t do a first look. ✨ It’s a way to release nerves before walking down the aisle. ✨ It’s a special and intimate moment for you and your partner to pause and really soak in the day. Whether you do a first look, a first touch, or opt to meet at the altar, I’m here to support you in whatever you decide and help bring peace to your wedding day! 🕊️ Vendors: Planner: @langleyeverafter Venue: Foundry at Rae’s Creek Catering: Roux’s Catering Photo/Video: @woodellproductions DJ: Chandler’s House of Sounds Dessert: Nothing Bundt Cake Makeup: @shandamartin.mua

We have seen an upward trend for couples opting for “documentary style” photography and videography. Here are a few tips for achieving this style. 👇🏼 Besides of course hiring a photographer/videographer whose style is “documentary”, you can implement these few things to have the best results with your photos and videos! ✨ Leave room in your timeline. - Don’t rush things. If you need to add an hour of coverage to your photo/video team so your day isn’t as rushed, I promise it will be worth it. ✨ Be in the moment. - Remember that this is your wedding day and you should enjoy it. Your joy will be reflected in your photos and videos. ✨ Hire professionals. - If you have hired professional vendors and a planner/coordinator, you can rest assured that everything is taken care of. All you have to do is enjoy the day! Any other tips for achieving documentary style photos and videos?

Why should you consider a destination wedding? 🤍 ▫️ It’s an opportunity to travel to a fun/meaningful destination ▫️ Instead of having one day to celebrate, many destination weddings turn into a full wedding weekend with your besties (the more fun, the better!) ▫️ Naturally your guest list will be reduced for travel weddings, which means majority of your guests will be your closest family and friends ▫️ It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel with all of your loved ones on such a joyous occasion ✨ Vendors: Coordinator: @langleyeverafter Venue: @pharmacymuseum Photographer: @wildhivephoto HMUA: @dazzledoll_glam Catering: Southern Hospitality Catering Florals: Harkins, the Florist Band: Young Pinstripe Band

What’s the difference between a venue coordinator and a professional planner? 1. Venue coordinators don’t communicate with your vendors for you (your planner does) 2. The venue coordinator’s main role is to lookout for the venue, not the couple (planners prioritize you as the couple) 3. Venue coordinators aren’t familiar with the details of each vendors’ specific roles and how to support them on your wedding day (planners work with your vendor team to ensure your day is flawless) 4. Venue coordinators don’t meticulously help you plan your day (planners do 🫶🏼) I could go on! What else did I miss? Let me know below. 👇🏼
