If you're one of the many couples to get engaged over the holiday break, congratulations! You're already experiencing the excitement and celebration - enjoy it! But before you dive into planning, take a moment to prioritize your first few steps. Here are my recommendations to get started:
When and where. It's best not to pick an exact date but rather a timeframe (such as March 2016). The flexibility afforded by avoiding an exact date will allow you to select your wedding venue based on a space you love, rather than one that has the perfect date available. Will you be getting married locally, or would you like for your wedding to be in another town/state/country? Again, no need to try to nail down a venue yet - just a geographic area.
The money talk. Though it's usually an uncomfortable talk, it's best to get the money talk done right away so that expectations are clear from the start. Who will be contributing what - once you have this nailed down, you'll have a clear start in your wedding planning.
Hire a wedding planner. Once you know the when, where and how, the next crucial step is to add an experienced planner to your team. Your planner will keep the entire planning process pleasant while giving you the guidance needed to create an event that celebrates you and this decision you've made to do life together.
Enjoy this time! And congratulations. :)

Below are some gorgeous images captured during Erin & Will's {sweetest couple ever!} engagement session with the incredibly talented Julie Wilhite of Julie Wilhite Photography. Can't wait to share images from their upcoming April wedding!
I've said it many times before, but the highest compliment anyone could give me is a referral. When you honor me with the privilege of planning not one, but two of your daughters' weddings … well, that goes beyond compliment. I love this family. And I loved helping plan another wedding for them. A private residence, 30 of your nearest and dearest, a killer gown, yummy food and a great view - I don't think it gets any better than this. Feast your eyes on the beautiful images captured by the always amazing Chip Gillespie.
Happy planning!
And the terrific cast of vendors :)

The amount of time we spend with brides almost makes it natural for us to create a bond with each and every one. But sometimes, there are super special people that you just click with. Kate and her amazing family are some of those people. Here are a few sneak peeks of their October wedding at the bride's aunt's house. It was my absolute pleasure to help Kate & Rod make their wedding day one to cherish.
Kerry and Paul were an absolute delight to work with - I thoroughly enjoyed being their day-of wedding planner. And thank you to former Something To Celebrate bride, Melissa, for the referral!
Congrats Kerry and Paul!
