Embracing the Authentic Chaos of Your Wedding Day

Weddings are magical, but let’s be real — they can also be a whirlwind of unpredictable moments, emotions, and last-minute surprises. Veteran wedding photographer Megan Sweeting of Bourbon & Brides Wedding Photography and I dive into the beauty and the reality of planning and experiencing a wedding that is perfectly imperfect. From the joy of your dog being a part of the day, to the challenge of juggling family dynamics, this podcast celebrates the messy, authentic, and utterly unforgettable moments that make your big day truly yours.
