ADVICE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER:

Dedicate a moment to view your reception space before your guests. It is a magical moment to walk into your space and see it fully finished and untouched. Better yet, plan to do a private first dance! It will help get the nerves out of the way and allow your photographer to get some unique angles. Nadine Mckenney Photography

FROM THE COUPLE:

Our favorite piece of decor was the seating chart – we loved how unique it was, how we were able to incorporate our engagement photos, and how personal it was to use different city names that we have been to as the “table numbers”. Rebecca & Trevor

What a fun and creative idea for a seating chart and table numbers! We love seeing couples incorporate personal elements into their wedding day!
