Wedding Planning Part 1: Why We Had a Wedding | Behind the Scenes

Welcome to Part 1 of our 2-part Wedding Planning series. As a Type A bride who genuinely enjoyed planning my wedding, I thought it would be fun to share the behind-the-scenes of how everything came together. In this first episode, we’re focusing on the most important step before choosing a venue or booking vendors — defining your wedding intention. I share the three key questions my husband and I reflected on together before we started planning, and how having clarity on our “why” shaped every decision that followed. This video is a mix of real wedding planning moments, behind-the-scenes footage, and highlights from our wedding day all woven together to show what intentional planning can look like. Special shoutout to Nigel Sia   / nigelsia.vs   for editing so many beautiful chapter edits on top of our main wedding highlight. You brought these memories to life and made me a very happy bride revisiting all this footage 🥹 Part 2 will cover wedding design and aesthetics, and Part 3 will break down project management and cost planning.
