For some couples, a wedding planner is one of the first vendors (if not the first) they’ll hire to help with the planning of their big day.  Other couples may not fully see a planner being a worthwhile investment for their wedding.  If you and your partner happen to fall into the latter category, I want to explain a few reasons why you shouldn't quickly dismiss the idea of hiring a wedding planner!  As a photographer, I’ve photographed weddings where a planner was on site and others that didn’t have one involved.  In my overall experience, weddings that did have a planner always result in a much more relaxed (and less stressful!) day than those without.
