As I prepared for the 2023 Fall Wedding Show, my design mind was going wild with possibilities and excitement about the items I could create and share with future couples. I remember from my trade show days that gimmicks or takeaways were important to help you stand out from other vendors offering similar services. I started thinking about what I would want my future brides to have so that we’re both prepared for a seamless wedding day. With my brainstorming and researching underway, I kept coming back to the idea of a magazine with checklists, reminders, tips and photos of my work, and that’s how I decided to create the Pari Studio Wedding Guide.

Continuing with my research, I went through all of the printed items from when my husband and I attended the 2017 wedding show and found business cards and price sheets, but there was only one magazine, which I took as a sign that I was on the right track.

The Pari Studio Wedding Guide is a project that I’m excited to continue designing and creating new volumes as my wedding photography career progresses. As I grow and evolve throughout my wedding photography career, this guide will grow and evolve with me. There will be new tips to add, new needs to address, and new photos to share with future brides.
