Interview with a Bride Part 1: Suzanna

Bonjour, everyone!

Today’s blog is from an interview with Suzanna Benassi. I was hired as her videographer when she married her husband, Gavin, on June 30th, 2018. These two have known each other for 9 years!

They met in a church youth group and he proposed at a picnic on a farm.

Her advice for other brides planning their wedding? “Don’t try to do it all, delegate!” She also warns to “Make the time to take pictures! This is your only wedding day.”

Any tips on what to bring? “Tissues, lotion, mints, GasX, sewing kit, and WATER.”

The wedding was truly beautiful. They opted not to do a first look. “We did not see each other before. I don’t regret it, but it made pictures crunch time!”

The wedding was at Providence Baptist Church, followed by the reception at Victree Acres in Stamping Ground, KY.  When asked how her experience was with Cozyshoppe, she answered, “It was great! You rolled with the punches.”

A big thank you goes out to these awesome companies that helped make their day so special.
