    048: "Behind the Scenes of Your Wedding Planning Process" with Cristen Clark

    On Episode 048: “Behind The Scenes of Your Wedding Planning Process” we pulled out some very ‘behind the curtain’ questions about how vendors think, operate, what drives us nuts and how we work best with our couples. Joining me on the show this week is veteran photographer Cristen Clark, owner of Autumn Olive Photography. She’s got 17 years of experience and she and I had so much fun answering these questions that most couples don’t even think to ask. There’s a little bit of controversy, highly debated topics in the wedding world & more - we hope you learn something from this episode that will make your process a little smoother and help you and your vendors get along a little better!  Your host: Taylor Rhyne - Lemons & Willow Event Management, Owner & Lead Planner  @lemonsandwillowevents  www.lemonsandwillowevents.com This Week’s Guest: Cristen Clark - Autumn Olive Photography, Owner & Lead Photographer @autumnolivephotography  www.autumnolivephotography.com Follow along on social media! @dazedandengagedpodcast  Send us YOUR wedding planning questions to dazedandengagedpodcast@gmail.com Not ready to hire a planner or just have some wedding planning questions you’d like personalized help with?
