Stress. No one ever really wants it, especially on the day of your wedding.
You and your partner agree you want to relax and enjoy every nuance the wedding day holds, not worry about orchestrating it.
You’re in need of a wedding coordinator.
If you’ve contacted a few and seem impressed, there are some things you should ask that wedding fairy godmother before you deposit and find out their magic wand is just tinfoil and streamers.
1 Can I See More Photos from Your Portfolio?
Checking out a wedding coordinator’s portfolio is usually a surefire way to ensure you’re hiring someone who is professional and matches your style. The key word in that last sentence is “usually.”
Photography fraud in the wedding world is on the rise, and more wannabe wedding professionals are stealing from those who work hard and have original ideas.
If you can crosscheck the photographs, try to do so. If the coordinator’s portfolio looks too good to be true, tell him or her you’d like to see more photographs from the photographer who was there on that wedding day. Most coordinators have no problem reaching out to photographers they’ve worked with to get more photos for you to see.
If you never hear back from the coordinator after that meeting, it’s probably a good sign they weren’t the ones who planned the wedding they were trying to pass off as their own.
