Maine & NH Wedding Photographer | Why You Should Actually Enjoy Wedding Planning (Yep… I said it.)

Look, I know planning a wedding sometimes feels like you’re juggling flaming swords while someone asks, “But what about the chair covers?” every five minutes. But hear me out: this whole wild ride only happens once—so you might as well squeeze some joy out of it instead of white-knuckling your way to the altar.

Here’s the thing: every decision you make, big or small, shapes the day you’ve been dreaming about. And when you’re actually happy with those choices? Your wedding day hits differently. You’re not standing there thinking about the shade of napkins you were peer-pressured into. You’re fully present, soaking in your people, your partner, your moments… and not silently beefing with your seating chart.

Weddings are supposed to be fun. Full stop. Yes, even the planning part. Especially the planning part. Because that’s where the stories come from. The laughs. The “holy crap did we really do that?” moments. The late-night Pinterest spirals. The cake tasting (10/10—highly recommend keeping that part stress-free).

So try to enjoy it. Every chaotic, hilarious, “why did we pick this many florals?” moment of it.

This is your one shot at building a day that feels like you—so lean in, breathe, and ride the wave.

Future you is gonna be real grateful you didn’t let the stress eat the vibe. And on your wedding day? You’ll walk in knowing every damn detail is exactly what you wanted.

That’s the good stuff right there.
