much like modern with vintage and yeah, it totally goes with 26:46.870 --> 27:14.950 [SPEAKER_00]: like the vibe I feel like of even like just looking at your Instagram and like your art and like your father's art and like you know kind of that like old gothic type of like writing that was on you know the William Mary Me Arts like it all just like translated like so well like your dress could have been like from that time but still so modern and yeah it was super cool 27:15.855 --> 27:17.957 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, love it so much. 27:18.258 --> 27:25.466 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's talk a little bit about like moving along from the dress like just planning your wedding in general. 27:25.686 --> 27:31.292 [SPEAKER_00]: Like what was that like choosing your venue, choosing your vendors and the whole bit? 27:32.180 --> 27:48.966 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it was it was actually really hard because I'm someone who has a hard time not having control like if I could have been the photographer and videographer and obviously I couldn't make the dress but like if I could have I would have just because like I want to get in there I want to be the one doing like the fun creative jobs. 27:49.606 --> 27:57.468 [SPEAKER_01]: So finding someone that could be the videographer and photographer was a challenge especially because like I said before you taught 27:59.209 --> 28:16.877 [SPEAKER_01]: There's just such a specific formula for a Utah wedding that I'm just not the biggest fan of, like, it's very, I don't want to put other girls down, but like, you know, there's just like everyone has their own personal taste and I feel like in Utah it's a lot of like, everyone's wedding is a lot more casual here, like it's not as formal as like, 28:17.537 --> 28:36.071 [SPEAKER_01]: more east coast weddings where it's like a chicken or fish and it's a sit down dinner, you know, it's just not that here and people don't ever expect that like if you want to have a dress put it you're wedding like people are going to be in jeans people are going to be underdressed and you talk like that's just kind of how it is and a big factor that was photography it's just all kind of seems to be the same as far as like 28:37.012 --> 28:46.081 [SPEAKER_01]: I obviously wanted a very unique wedding so like I want someone who can see my vision and that I'm having this like very tell moment and is going to like lean into that and also love that. 28:46.121 --> 28:47.523 [SPEAKER_01]: And so a lot of people that I would hit up. 28:48.378 --> 28:53.260 [SPEAKER_01]: that I could tell that for talking for a really good, but it was just pretty basic. 28:53.280 --> 28:56.642 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I wanted to do more interesting posing or really colorful edits. 28:56.662 --> 29:03.986 [SPEAKER_01]: Like a lot of the edits I see here are super blown out why and just like standing in a field and just very like the typical, you know? 29:04.246 --> 29:08.528 [SPEAKER_01]: Which is still great, but I just knew I wanted it to like be that extra like creativeness. 29:08.568 --> 29:14.771 [SPEAKER_01]: And I knew there was someone out there who was gonna be like, oh, you're my dream client because I'm shooting all these weddings that look the same, like let me try and do something different. 29:14.791 --> 29:16.492 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I did actually go through a lot of interviews 29:17.392 --> 29:21.293 [SPEAKER_01]: photographers to see like, hey, is this something that excites you or does this make you nervous? 29:21.353 --> 29:34.158 [SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of photographers would be like, oh, you know, like, my edits have to stay the same, but like, we can switch up a few things, but like, I basically take these pictures and I'm like, okay, if you are a real creative, you'd be like, this is my dream, you know, like, let me take this challenge on. 29:34.578 --> 29:36.258 [SPEAKER_01]: And so I'd be like, okay, maybe not my person. 29:36.278 --> 29:38.419 [SPEAKER_01]: And I can't cross my photographer or Clara Lene. 29:38.779 --> 29:42.361 [SPEAKER_01]: And she had done this crazy photo shoot, and I was like, this is how I know you're my girl. 29:42.781 --> 29:45.102 [SPEAKER_01]: They went out to the pink plate. 29:45.122 --> 29:46.842 [SPEAKER_01]: There's like a pink plate here in Salt Lake. 29:47.143 --> 29:56.406 [SPEAKER_01]: And she had this model with this fish, and they were doing all this interesting stuff, and the film that she was using was super colorful, and it was just like the craziest photo shoot I've ever seen. 29:56.427 --> 29:57.067 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, okay. 29:57.687 --> 30:14.880 [SPEAKER_01]: you obviously are trying to do something different here and I love that and I think she had shot a couple weddings but she does like a little bit of everything and when I had called her about it she was like oh yeah this is like amazing like I can't wait for this I would love to be a part of this is such an honor and she's someone who I can tell like really, really took 30:15.858 --> 30:21.781 [SPEAKER_01]: like pride in being part of this project and she understood all the work that was going in so she's like, oh, this is a huge honor. 30:22.001 --> 30:26.364 [SPEAKER_01]: And her photos came out amazing, like just absolutely gorgeous. 30:26.384 --> 30:29.966 [SPEAKER_01]: My dream photos, like every single photo, I'm like, yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. 30:30.386 --> 30:34.268 [SPEAKER_01]: This is my dream picture and even pictures that I didn't even like think of in my head. 30:34.408 --> 30:38.731 [SPEAKER_01]: She was put the most, she made me feel so at the area like a princess in a fairy tale. 30:39.859 --> 30:42.581 [SPEAKER_01]: And with my videographer, he was so great. 30:42.681 --> 30:53.109 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I am just, I feel like I picked the best vendors in all of Utah, honestly, because he also such a professional, such a creative, like, just very, very knowledgeable about everything. 30:53.149 -->

31:03.796 [SPEAKER_01]: And you can sometimes, when you're talking to another creative, feel like, are they understanding, like, are they, can they see in their head what I'm describing, you know, some people that aren't creative are like, oh, I can't really picture it. 31:04.477 --> 31:08.139 [SPEAKER_01]: He totally understood the vibes, and I really wanted to hone in for my video on, 31:09.020 --> 31:10.261 [SPEAKER_01]: the DIYness of it all. 31:10.281 --> 31:20.050 [SPEAKER_01]: Like my mom said my dress, my dad like basically grew the grass where I got married and like hand built the arch so I got married under and like we hand placed every chair for my son. 31:20.110 --> 31:26.816 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like I got hives hand placing every chair for my ceremony because like I said I can't let anyone have control and I was like I don't know. 31:27.296 --> 31:31.941 [SPEAKER_01]: That turn needs to go here and there was very like eclectic chairs so it wasn't like you can't just have you know. 31:32.601 --> 31:34.102 [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, I'm kind of giving up on stuff. 31:34.222 --> 31:35.942 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, please hone in with that one. 31:35.962 --> 31:41.405 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a feel like you are seeing the making of the wedding, not just the wedding, and he was like, oh, I totally get it. 31:41.425 --> 31:45.686 [SPEAKER_01]: And it was just such a cool, like, Wes Andersone, a little bit by video. 31:45.946 --> 31:47.727 [SPEAKER_01]: And it's my favorite thing to watch. 31:48.507 --> 31:49.468 [SPEAKER_01]: It's my favorite thing to watch. 31:49.488 --> 31:52.889 [SPEAKER_01]: And both of them were super, super honored to be part of it. 31:52.929 --> 31:54.890 [SPEAKER_01]: They both have done little things to, like, 31:56.173 --> 31:59.597 [SPEAKER_01]: Like little extras here and there if that makes sense, just to show like, hey, I'm really in it. 31:59.617 --> 32:05.445 [SPEAKER_01]: Like by the dog for came an extra day gave us an extra day of filming for free, just to get all those cool shots that I wanted. 32:05.465 --> 32:08.769 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, Claire sent me a bunch of 32:10.146 --> 32:24.046 [SPEAKER_01]: bunch of gifts afterwards and free prints of our photos and it seems to be something that helped them a lot in their businesses like it grew their accounts a lot so that makes me really happy because then it's like okay like I hope this was good for them as well you know. 32:24.226 --> 32:25.788 [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm yeah definitely. 32:26.429 --> 32:36.472 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm sure like with you being a creative, it is hard to relinquish that control to somebody else, like, and for them to like truly understand you. 32:36.552 --> 32:47.215 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm glad that like that was very important to you and you really did take the time to interview people and make sure that they were the right fit and make sure that they understood your vision. 32:47.296 --> 32:50.677 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, having like, you know, that you're creative 32:52.542 --> 33:04.811 [SPEAKER_00]: have more of maybe like an editorial like creative background rather than like we shoot weddings and that's all we do like that totally makes sense for you in your wedding. 33:04.931 --> 33:11.216 [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm glad that like you were able to find them because yeah that is a hard ask especially like 33:12.398 --> 33:25.868 [SPEAKER_00]: Possibly in a market like you said that you're in where it is like basically like this is how wedding photos look in our market and it's kind of hard to find something else outside of the box and so I mean Bravo to you for like. 33:26.492 --> 33:32.516 [SPEAKER_00]: keeping on trying to really like make your vision truly what you wanted for your day. 33:32.696 --> 33:33.877 [SPEAKER_00]: So super cool. 33:34.097 --> 33:41.021 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, the photos, at least that I've seen are just like, and yeah, awesome and totally fit your vibe. 33:41.161 --> 33:42.482 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so cool. 33:43.282 --> 33:48.545 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, so let's talk about what were some of those special moments from your day. 33:48.645 --> 34:09.197 [SPEAKER_00]: I know you talked about like doing the receiving line and like everybody like talking about your dress and like having them like to truly like give your mom like all recognition too for the dress, but like were there any other moments maybe like on the dance floor or you know other special moments that actually happened during your day. 34:09.816 --> 34:22.451 [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to shout out my mom one more time because she did also make all the florals for me and my bread of party, but like She made it like French-beaded flowers, so they were like works of art within them. 34:23.012 --> 34:23.713 [SPEAKER_00]: I know what I'm like. 34:23.773 --> 34:24.674 [SPEAKER_00]: Mom, how did you?

is very important. 38:39.364 --> 38:43.807 [SPEAKER_01]: Because yeah, who is gonna like press play on whatever and like tell everyone that the cake cutting is happening? 38:43.827 --> 38:46.929 [SPEAKER_01]: Like it shouldn't be your mom, it shouldn't be a relative, like let them enjoy their day. 38:47.550 --> 38:52.834 [SPEAKER_01]: And I just thought like, oh, we're having like a more chill, like DIY wedding, like we don't need a wedding coordinator, you know? 38:52.974 --> 38:55.456 [SPEAKER_01]: But no, we needed a wedding coordinator bad. 38:55.476 --> 38:56.096 [SPEAKER_01]: We had to hire 38:56.837 --> 38:57.197 [SPEAKER_01]: higher. 38:57.397 --> 38:58.018 [SPEAKER_01]: She didn't for free. 38:58.038 --> 38:58.598 [SPEAKER_01]: She's so nice. 38:58.658 --> 38:59.539 [SPEAKER_01]: Just one of my neighbors. 38:59.559 --> 39:01.781 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, can you just come like, make sure everything you know? 39:01.841 --> 39:06.625 [SPEAKER_01]: And she was like, she did a lot of work that day that I did not prepare her for. 39:06.765 --> 39:18.333 [SPEAKER_01]: So she was an angel for that, but I'm like, okay, yeah, if I could redo things, I would get someone who could just like get stuff done on that day and like get everyone in order and press play on the music and you know, make sure the timing is right for everything. 39:18.354 --> 39:19.695 [SPEAKER_01]: But that's definitely important. 39:20.075 --> 39:23.177 [SPEAKER_01]: But also say, especially if you're having a DIY wedding, 39:24.869 --> 39:31.731 [SPEAKER_01]: just persevere because I was kind of in the mindset before my wedding of like all this work. 39:31.751 --> 39:35.232 [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way that all this work is gonna pay off to like just an amazing day. 39:35.292 --> 39:42.795 [SPEAKER_01]: Like just because I felt like I was too invested, you know, like, oh, it's probably gonna be a really good day, but like people always like, oh, you're wedding day, the best day of your life, the best day of your life, you know? 39:42.815 --> 39:46.776 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't think like just with how much stress I knew and how much work there was going into it. 39:46.796 --> 39:49.657 [SPEAKER_01]: Like I just, I think it would be a really good day, but like gosh, I hope I'm not like, 39:50.397 --> 39:54.838 [SPEAKER_01]: over doing it and like not going to have the best day you know but it was the best day of my life. 39:55.178 --> 39:56.079 [SPEAKER_01]: It was the best day of my life. 39:56.159 --> 40:07.742 [SPEAKER_01]: Even though it was so invested in everything and you know when you're that deep like you are more aware of things that aren't working out and like expectations you know whereas if you were less involved with your wedding it's just like things that other people are handling or whatever. 40:08.702 --> 40:10.102 [SPEAKER_01]: No, it was just persevere. 40:10.162 --> 40:27.547 [SPEAKER_01]: Just get through it because like even my husband, he's like, yeah,
