Wedding Photographer Deletes Pictures After Being Denied Food.
I admit when I saw the headline my first thought was “that was petty.” Then I read the whole story… well my thoughts didn’t change much but it did give some context and there is a lot here. Basically a friend of the couple who is not a professional wedding photographer agreed to take pictures at their friends’ wedding for $250. Apparently this was a 10+ hour event in the heat and the photographer friend asked for food and water and the couple said “NO!” So the friend photographer erased all the pictures they had taken. Ouch. I mean are these people really that great of friends? How do you…

Wedding Shows: Why You Won’t Find The PreNup Princess or Seattle Wedding Lawyer There
5 or so years ago I was invited to participate in a wedding show. As the Seattle Wedding Lawyer and PreNup Princess I have often been invited but just had never done it. This was going to be a small event and I knew the coordinator so I figured now would as good a time as any to give it a try. I always turned down the invites in the past because while what I do focuses on weddings, it is not wedding show material. No one wants to think about wedding contracts, finances, divorce at a wedding show. But, maybe, just maybe I was wrong so off I went.…

Q&A: My Client Wants Fireworks at Their Wedding. What do I do?
As a wedding planner you probably get a lot a strange, different, or interesting requests from your couples. But what happens when they request something that may be illegal? I have seen this several times, and with the summer comes the request for Fireworks. Yes, fireworks are to summer as rain is to Seattle. People look forward to the big firework displays around the area. Being from Georgia where you can buy fireworks literally anywhere and everywhere I have ceased caring about seeing a big firework display or really any firework display. I mean we would just shoot them off in our backyard whenever we wanted to see fireworks, looking…

What is Wedding Insurance and Should You Get It?
I think it is safe to say that the Royal Wedding kicked offed wedding season this year. So as you plan your own “royal wedding” you may be asking yourself, “what is wedding insurance? And should I get it?” Wedding Insurance, more commonly known as event insurance, generally covers you in 2 ways; either with cancellations or liability. Having witnessed couples devastated after caterers, florist, or DJs fail to show and seeing liability disasters on YouTube videos; being covered for either or both is not necessarily a bad thing. Cancellation coverage typically covers you in cases of extreme weather where you have to cancel your wedding. You can be reimbursed…

Wedding Season Ends But Engagements Keep Coming
With summer slowly starting to die down that also means that wedding season is also coming to end. But don’t fret my pet. Just because wedding season is winding down that does not mean weddings themselves are stopping. I can personally attest to this with the number of friends and colleagues that have become engaged. I’ve been to engagement parties, dinners, and witnessed countless Facebook engagement posts. With the engagement comes a barrage of wedding law related questions. They all boil down two topics actually; prenups and wedding contracts. If you don’t already know my stance on prenups then you are not following my blog (www.prenupprincess.com) or following me…

The Importance of a Wedding Cake Contract
We’ve all seen it on People’s Court or Judge Judy or read about it on some news website; a bride suing the caterer, DJ, florist from their wedding. The vegetarian entrée was forgotten, the flowers were dying, or they forgot to play the predetermined songs at the predetermined times. In these cases the brides win some and they lose some. So how do you end up on the win side if something like this happens to you? You get it in writing. One of the major issues that results in these types of lawsuits is that the happy couple didn’t get everything in writing. Your cousin’s neighbor has a cake…
