61. Orua Beach House Wedding with Bride & Photographer Tasha Meys

The beautiful, talented Tasha Meys joins us on the podcast today. Recent bride, and wedding vendor herself being a photographer. This is one is full of incredible advice and perspective, it is one you will get a lot out of!  A few things we cover: Her background in photography, resisting doing weddings for a while and eventually falling in love with them as soon as she photographed one. How she met her husband, crossing paths in their careers and then eventually socially. Their off-the-grid proposal and how they soaked up their just-engaged bubble. Finding the perfect venue that reflects them as a couple. Being intentional with planning to enjoy every part and make tasks an experience and memory with others. Choosing her bridal party and considering how much involvement they had in the leadup, not putting expectations or pressure on people. Their pre-wedding events and how that gave them so much more quality time with their guests. How the energy of everyone around you really sets your day and how to intentionally set the tone. Having a moment alone on her wedding day and how grounding that was. The importance of an on-the-day coordinator. Choosing quality over excess. Post-wedding blues and the actual chemicals in your brain that have a part to play in it. How communication is so important for vendors and how you can tell someone's vibe even through their emails. ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all T & R's vendors.
