Getting Rid of Wedding Stress

Stress is natural, it happens. But when you have that support system to be there as a buffer it makes life so much easier for both the bride and the groom.

So, what causes blushing brides to become bridezillas? The pressure can build and really get to people. Those who get easily stressed out may not be able to cope with it well and it comes out in yelling, getting upset.

How to avoid wedding stress? Experts say:

1. Stay healthy, don’t let your diet or exercise routine suffer.
2. Learn how to delegate, ask people to help.
3. Break things down to manageable tasks and focus only on those tasks one at a time.
4. Make a timetable
5. Utilize technology by posting a website.

Technology will help you eliminate a lot of the anxiety and stress and make it so much easier to communicate with everybody and have everything organized. And most important: keep to a budget so things don’t get out of hand;

Amanda and Jeff Chattanooga TN

Oh my gosh what a great time!!! The couple was awesome first time meeting in person on the wedding day and it all went so smoothly. We had corresponded through phone calls and emails but alot was taking care of by her helpful Coordinator Malisa. The scenery there just gave me goosebumps what a of fun place to shoot on the RIVER.
We did endure some sprinkles but they were troopers I asked if they were ok while we were shooting and they were like lets go for it. So we were out on the board walk with some sprinkles in the water just fantastic. This was truley a good time!


















The first look! –saaaaweeeeet–

March 3rd 2012 The big day for Nicole and Steven we started out at her friend Jennifer’s loft downtown Memphis where the girls got ready which was really really cool. I met them there while Elizabeth my second shooter started out at Central Station to get our detail shots and the guys, worked out perfect.
