Have you worked with my coordinator or videographer before?

By, July 13, 2017

Most likely we have worked together, especially if your coordinator and/or videographer has a well-established reputation within the community. The advantage of being around for 17 years is we have worked with so many excellent vendors! Regardless of whether we have worked together, we work well with everyone. So no matter what, you will be just fine ;) We know how most of the pros work, and they know how we work at this point. We’re able to rely on each other’s experience to make sure the day is stress free for our wedding couple. We also communicate with the coordinator or videographer before the wedding to ensure the process is smooth. There’s definitely less to figure out as the years have gone by!  

For example, Christine of Lavish Weddings is one of the coordinators we work with frequently, having done 28 weddings together to date. She shared her take on working with our company: “I love working with photographers from True because I know they get there early and they’re prepared. They communicate with me ahead of time so we’re always on the same page, and they’re very reliable.  I don’t always have that same experience with new photographers.”

Our goal for our wedding couple is to document the day with amazing photographs. By having great relationships with coordinators like Lavish Weddings, and knowing their approach, it enables us to stay ahead throughout the day. And when working with a videographer outside our studio, sharing the same objective helps us to work together, so you end up with the best of both worlds. Check out some highlights made possible by wonderful vendors we work with, and even some of them in action.

Beachfront Wedding at the Scripps Seaside Forum with I Do Weddings

By, May 29, 2012

Whether you’re planning an intimate affair or an elaborate gala, you deserve to have a consultant that will assist you every step of the way. With I Do… Weddings!, we’ll keep you organized and ensure nothing gets overlooked.

We recently had the chance to work with Stephanie and Mike on their wedding at the gorgeous Scripps Seaside Forum. The groom was based here in town, with the bride based in LA. I served as their eyes and ears, and also helped them select all of their key vendors.

My favorite part about working with this couple was their laid-back approach. They had a strong attention to detail, but also had a flexible and fun-loving attitude during the entire planning process. I knew they would roll with the punches on the big day, and guess what? Everything went exactly according to plan.

A go-with-the-flow attitude for the bride and groom really sets the tone for a relaxed and fun day.

This was a really great group! They had a blast, and it definitely shows in the photos.

The Scripps Seaside Forum is a beautiful beachfront location. Fabric draping and lighting is key for this venue! I really believe it makes the space.

Most importantly, Stephanie and Mike wanted a really, really great party! We focused on giving the couple and their guests lots of time to dance, drink and enjoy, and keeping the scheduled activities to a minimum. We really enjoyed letting the latter portion of the evening flow organically!

This photo is a such a great evening shot of the couple! The morning was raining and gloomy, so when the cloud cover burned off at the last minute and we lucked out with a clear night…I was so happy!

Ellie and Derrick met while working at Red Bull. So it was quite fitting for them to serve their guests a signature drink with Red Bull as a main ingredient. There was lots of energy at this party!

These boys were too cute carrying the “Here Comes the Bride” sign down the aisle.

Yum, yum! Who doesn’t love a candy and sweets table? Some of these sweets were made by a family member, and they were outstanding! This table didn’t stand a chance once it was available to guests to enjoy. They all certainly enjoyed these treats!

Ellie and Derrick wanted all their guests to come and enjoy themselves. They wanted everyone to have fun, which the guests did as they danced the night away to a lively band.
