More About Julie Sabatino and The Stylish Bride:
There isn’t a top designer she doesn’t have an ironclad relationship with — Oscar de la Renta named a dress after her — but she hasn’t forgotten what it felt like to be bride-to-be with no idea of how to navigate the wedding shopping process. “I can remember feeling overwhelmed by the options and also humiliated and discouraged that none of the samples fit; I had a real crisis of confidence and looked for guidance, but there was no such thing as a bridal stylist in 2001.”Knowing there had to be a better way, Julie left her job in finance, enrolled in FIT, and launched The Stylish BrideⓇ, a full-service bridal styling company dedicated to helping couples navigate the world of wedding wear. Passionate about diversity and inclusion, she developed The Sample Size Solution – a portable product designed to help make sample dresses fit the bride – which has been applauded for its practicality and helping to address body size stigmatization. After years of being urged to share her wedding styling knowledge with the world, Julie wrote her book, Dressed, Styled and Down the Aisle which has been hailed as a “must-read manifesto” by insiders.

Not everyone is comfortable writing their own wedding vows, and that's okay. For those who don't deem themselves wordsmiths or need a little coaching on how to put together a great Best Man speech, this episode is for you! Our host, Jennifer Stein, is joined by Brian Franklin, professional speechwriter and co-founder of Vows & Speeches.

About Vows & Speeches
Brian Franklin is the Co-Founder of Vows & Speeches and oversees all interviews and script writing.
A writer and communications/marketing consultant for over 25 years, most of Brian’s work has been as an award-winning political consultant and communications strategist (including speechwriting and debate prep) for federal and state campaigns.Knowing his skills as a writer and speaker, his friends and family would ask him for help with their wedding speeches—and he had the honor of officiating a few weddings himself.

In mid 2021, after interviewing Jon Macks, a speechwriter and a lead writer for the Tonight Show and other comedians for many years, Brian was inspired and started to look at the wedding industry as a possible career change, and ultimately, after getting some feedback on Clubhouse by other wedding pros, he and his wife Nicole formed Vows & Speeches.

Our host, Jennifer Stein, is joined by two professional destination wedding photographers - Ash Baumgartner and Kristine Herman - to discuss what couples should look for in a wedding photographer, how to best work with them from afar and some easy to spot red flags to safeguard your special day away.
About Ashley Baumgartner:
Raised by her grandparents and married to her college sweetheart, Ashley has always been an old soul and a romantic at heart. In fact, she might have been the only eleven-year-old in her neighborhood with a subscription to Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. There was something about the attention to detail, the stories behind a celebration, and the natural elegance of every event that captured Ashley’s spirit and swept her off her feet. It didn’t take long for Ashley to turn her love of weddings into a career. Now, there is nothing she loves more than connecting with clients over the story of their own wedding day. When she’s not behind the camera, you can find Ashley spinning her heart out on the Peloton bike, cheering hard for her favorite sports teams, or raising a little gentleman of her own. And, of course, there’s nothing like dancing the night away to make her feel alive. You can find Ashley on social media @ashbaumgartner or on her website: https://ashbaumgartner.com/
About Kristine Herman:
Blending a documentary and editorial flair, Kristine crafts authentic images and lets the emotions draw you into her photography. Storytelling and her love of travel is the heart behind who she is as an artist. She has been able to help her clients feel incredibly at ease behind the camera as well as capture the details throughout the day. She focuses on providing an elevated experience through digital and film. Kristine is based in Northern California and has traveled worldwide for weddings.
When she is not photographing weddings, you will find her hanging out with her husband and two dogs, traveling the world, snowboarding or finding her new favorite fashion piece. You can find Kristine on social media: @kristineherman_ or on her website: https://www.kristineherman.com/

Do you find yourself utterly confused about what the roles are for a wedding planner versus an event designer and a wedding coordinator at your venue? It may feel like your on-site wedding planner at your venue isn't doing their job - but IS it their job? Listen to this super informative episode to get to the bottom of things.
