Do you remember the post I did about not knowing what Wedding Consultants do? Well the other day I had my first meeting with the photographer in question.
Let me tell you it was some meeting! I was actually a bit nervous, I don’t know why – I’ve been doing initial consultations with brides for more than 15 years, so I shouldn’t have been nervous at all. That quickly faded, and I just went into business mode...
So we’ll call the photographer Carol and she shows up with her assistant, we’ll call her Maria – and they are acting like the most in love couple I’ve ever seen. They shake my hand and we start talking about their wedding.

I always want to gain insight into my clients – I want to know about them and what their dreams are.
So here are the basics of Carol and Maria’s wedding:
- Goth Themed Wedding
- At a Cemetery near Forsyth Square- in Savannah
- On Halloween
- Budget $75K
- 90 guests
- 15 Bridesmaids, 15 Groomsmen - and 4 dogs in the wedding
- Colors are Hippopotamus Grey, Black & White
- Our inspiration is Sazzy, Goth, Sizzle Chic
- Ultra Formal Goth - like Black Tie
- Music is Jack Johnson and Marilyn Manson
- Would like to use a Hearse as transportation
Their favorite foods include:
- Sushi
- Hot Dogs
- Pizza
- Peas
- Anything TGI Fridays
- Mac & Cheese Balls
And instead of cake.. no wait a black cake…no wait a HUGGGGE Tempura Fried Ice Cream – like HUGGGGE… like 5 feet across(so I politely suggested maybe a black cake with miniature tempura balls on the side of each plate)
I know it all sounds crazy and bizarre and I think that might be point of the whole thing... they wanted to test me under pressure, and it was fun and sometimes hard for all of us to keep a straight face.
I think Carol and Maria learned a lot about what I do, and I got a nice amount of insight from them as well!
But regardless it was my job to create their dream inspiration board for their dream wedding.
