Just got engaged? Congratulations! Now, where do you start? From setting your priorities to booking vendors, this guide will help you navigate the first steps with ease. Let’s make wedding planning stress-free and fun!
You just got engaged—congratulations! But now what? The excitement quickly turns into overwhelm with all the decisions ahead.
Between setting a date, finding a venue, and picking vendors, it’s easy to feel lost in the wedding planning chaos.
Take a deep breath! Here’s a simple, actionable guide to help you start your journey smoothly.
10 Things To Do After Getting Engaged
1. Celebrate & Soak It In
Before diving into planning, take a moment to enjoy this special time. Announce your engagement in a way that feels right for you—whether it's a big party or an intimate dinner with family.
2. Set Your Priorities
Sit down with your partner and discuss what’s most important for your wedding. Is it the venue, the photography, the guest experience? This will guide every decision moving forward.
3. Determine Your Budget
Knowing your budget early helps you make realistic choices and prevents unnecessary stress later on.
4. Choose a Date (or a Few Options!)
Venues and vendors book up fast! Having a couple of date options increases your chances of securing your dream team.
5. Book Your Venue
The venue sets the tone for everything. Once you have your date and venue, the rest of the planning falls into place more easily.
6. Hire Your Key Vendors
Photographers, videographers, and planners are some of the first vendors to book. If capturing your wedding beautifully is a priority, don’t wait too long to secure your photographer!
7. Start Thinking About Your Guest List
A rough guest count helps determine the size of your venue and affects catering and seating.
8. Get Engagement Photos
An engagement session is a great way to celebrate and get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.
9. Gather Inspiration
Pinterest, wedding blogs, and Instagram are great places to find inspiration, but remember to stay true to what feels authentic to you as a couple.
10. Enjoy the Process!
It’s easy to get caught up in the details, but remember: this is about celebrating your love. Don’t forget to have fun along the way!

How to Choose the Perfect Location for Your Engagement/Proposal Photos in the Rocky Mountains (or Anywhere Else!)
Struggling to find the perfect location for your engagement or proposal photos? Discover expert tips on selecting breathtaking spots in the Rocky Mountains or beyond for a stress-free and unforgettable experience.
Choosing the perfect location for your engagement or proposal photos can feel overwhelming. Do you want a dramatic mountain backdrop, a serene lake, or a hidden meadow? And what about accessibility, lighting, and the overall vibe of the location?
Not all picturesque spots are ideal for photography. Some locations may have unpredictable weather, harsh lighting, or even permit restrictions. You want a spot that not only looks beautiful but also allows you to relax and enjoy the moment.
As a professional wedding and engagement photographer, I’ve spent years scouting locations that provide breathtaking scenery and the best conditions for capturing your special moments. Whether in the Rocky Mountains or beyond, I help couples find the perfect spot that fits their vision while ensuring stunning photography results.
Finding Your Dream Location
Define Your Vision – Do you picture an adventurous mountaintop session, a cozy forest escape, or a lakeside romance? Knowing your style helps narrow down locations.
Consider the Season – Rocky Mountain winters are magical but chilly. Spring and summer bring lush landscapes, while fall offers golden hues. Choose based on the experience you want.
Think About Accessibility – Some of the best spots require a short hike. If you prefer an easy-access location, I have a list of stunning drive-up options.
Lighting is Key – Golden hour (sunrise or sunset) provides the most flattering natural light. I help schedule your session at the perfect time for dreamy photos.
Make It Personal – Pick a location with sentimental value, like where you first met, had your first date, or got engaged.
Benefits You Can Expect
Breathtaking Scenery – Locations handpicked for their stunning views and perfect lighting.
Seamless Experience – I handle logistics, permits, and timing so you can enjoy the moment.
Authentic Emotions Captured – I create a comfortable atmosphere so your love story shines through.
Personalized Guidance – From outfit tips to posing ideas, I guide you every step of the way.

Love in the Mountains: Jenna & Diego’s Bridger Range Engagement Session
Jenna and Diego’s love story came alive during their engagement session at Bridger Mountain Range. With the breathtaking Montana landscape as their backdrop and Jenna rocking chic overalls, these two radiated joy and authenticity. From playful spins to golden-hour magic, every moment was picture-perfect. I can’t wait to capture their wedding this August!
Capturing Their Unique Love Story
Jenna and Diego wanted their engagement photos to feel personal and authentic—a reflection of their shared laughter, quiet moments, and the adventurous spirit they love. How do you capture a story as unique as theirs while keeping the moments timeless?
Choosing the Perfect Location
The couple dreamed of a scenic backdrop that would resonate with their Montana roots. Bridger Mountain Range offered breathtaking views, but unpredictable weather and shifting light created challenges for creating consistently stunning photos.
A Day at Bridger Mountain Range
With Jenna and Diego, we embraced nature’s unpredictability. We scheduled their session to catch the golden-hour glow, packing the day with candid moments and heartfelt smiles. Bridger Mountain Range delivered sweeping vistas, rustic trails, and moody skies—everything they had envisioned for their session.
Jenna’s flowing dress contrasted beautifully with Diego’s sharp yet relaxed style, while the cool mountain breeze and subtle mist added cinematic flair. Together, we created photos that reflected their love story against Montana’s breathtaking wilderness.
Their Engagement Session, Captured
From the first shutter click, Jenna and Diego were naturals. We started with playful poses in an open field, the Bridger peaks standing tall behind them. Jenna, dressed in stylish overalls, brought a casual yet effortlessly chic vibe to the session, perfectly complementing Diego’s laid-back style. Their laughter was contagious as Diego spun Jenna in circles, her overalls moving gracefully in the light mountain breeze.
As the session continued, we explored areas with scattered trees, where the golden-hour light filtered beautifully through the branches. Jenna and Diego’s chemistry was undeniable, making every shot feel like a moment frozen in time.
I can’t wait to capture their wedding this August and continue telling their love story!

Struggling to Find the Right Daddy-Daughter Song? Here’s How to Make It Perfect
Choosing the perfect daddy-daughter song can be overwhelming, but it’s all about capturing a song that truly reflects your bond. Whether it’s a heartfelt classic or something unique to you both, this guide will help you find the song that makes your dance unforgettable.
Picking the perfect song for a daddy-daughter dance is a challenging yet memorable task. Many couples struggle to find a song that genuinely represents their unique relationship. You want something special, something that resonates and feels authentic—yet sorting through thousands of songs can feel overwhelming!
While timeless classics are popular for father-daughter dances, they may not hold personal significance for everyone. And sometimes, newer, lesser-known songs can capture the heart but may not resonate with your guests in the same way. Finding that balance between classic and personal is often the trickiest part.
Tips to Choose Your Ideal Daddy Daughter Song
Think About Shared Memories – Reflect on memories, experiences, or places you and your dad shared. Think of a song that reflects those moments.
Discuss Your Song Choices – If possible, sit down with your dad and discuss what each of you envisions for the dance. Share songs and get each other's reactions.
Consider the Mood and Dance Style – Do you want something lighthearted, heartfelt, or perhaps a bit more upbeat? Choose a song that fits your dancing style and desired mood.
Make It Unique – Pick a song that feels just right for you both, regardless of tradition or popular choices.
