Don’t Ghost Your Vendors: A Gentle Reminder for a Smoother, More Magical Experience

There’s something special about working with the people who help bring your memories to life — the photographers, florists, planners, makeup artists, venue owners, all the quiet behind-the-scenes magic-makers who show up with their hearts and creativity. We don’t just provide a service; we help shape the chapters you’ll look back on forever.

So today, here’s a heartfelt reminder wrapped in kindness and a little golden glow:

Please don’t ghost your vendors.
Not because we expect endless replies or constant communication, but because clear, honest communication is the backbone of a stress-free, joy-filled experience for you.

Why Communication Matters More Than You Think

Life gets busy. Plans shift. Calendars fill. Sometimes priorities change. And we understand.
But when communication stops altogether, it creates confusion and delays that quietly ripple into every part of the process.

For photographers (hi, it’s me), ghosting can affect:

  • Scheduling and Availability — When a client goes silent, that time is still held for them, preventing others from booking.
  • Preparation and Planning — Location scouting, outfit coordination, and session timelines rely heavily on clarity.
  • Expectations and Delivery — Without updates or confirmations, it becomes difficult to give you the thoughtful experience you deserve.

At the end of the day, we want your session or event to feel seamless, genuine, and memorable.

What ‘Ghosting Your Vendor’ Actually Looks Like

Ghosting is rarely intentional. Most of the time, it’s accidental. It can look like:

  • Inquiring about a date and not responding after receiving pricing
  • Asking for availability and never following up
  • Canceling plans without letting your vendor know
  • Going quiet on time-sensitive questions
  • Not replying to gallery emails, prep details, or invoices

A simple message saying, “I’ve changed my mind,” “We need to reschedule,” or “I’m not ready to book yet” makes all the difference.

A Little Grace Goes A Long Way

Vendors pour time, attention, and heart into every message, every gallery, every timeline, and every bit of planning they do for you.
We dream with you, prepare with you, and want your experience to feel like something you’ll remember fondly for years.

When communication stays open, even in small ways, it honors the time and effort that goes into making your vision come to life.

You don’t have to say yes.
You don’t have to know everything upfront.
You just have to let us know.

How You Can Support Your Vendors (Without Spending Anything)

Here are simple and thoughtful ways to make the process easier for everyone involved:

  • Be honest early if you’re not ready to book or need to pause plans.
  • Reply even if the answer is no. It truly helps.
  • Ask questions when you’re unsure. We are here to guide you.
  • Communicate any changes so we can adjust on our end.
  • Offer a simple thank you when you can. Kindness goes a long way.

These small acts of consideration build trust and set the foundation for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

A Reminder From My Heart To Yours

As a photographer who pours her entire heart into every session, I want your experience to feel effortless, comforting, and full of that nostalgic warmth you see throughout my work.

Communication is one of the quietest forms of kindness.
It protects your time, honors our time, and creates a better experience for everyone involved.

So here’s to clear conversations, smoother planning, and treating the people who serve you with the same care and respect you hope to receive.

Don’t ghost your vendors.
Your experience — and your future memories — deserve better.
