What is Wedding Journalism?

The act of documenting your wedding day through firsthand observation, one-on-one interviews, and powerful storytelling that adds context to your favorite wedding photos.

The final result is a fully custom wedding magazine keepsake that is convenient to revisit, easy to display, and creates a legacy you can pass down to your children someday.

Wedding Journalism • Editorial Keepsakes • Legacy Love Stories • Custom Heirloom Magazines •

This isn't your typical wedding keepsake; it's also a key to your past, a window into the world your guests experienced, a peek into the personal thoughts of your loved ones, and a prologue to the legacy you'll leave behind for your children someday.

 

It's a collection of sentiments from your friends and family, a source for advice, an index of special moments that took place between snapshots, and the ultimate narrative carrying forth the meaning behind your celebration.

​

Sometimes the little things are what turn out to be big things, and those are the details and stories that live alone in your mind until they begin to fade. 

I often think of The Notebook and the ways in which Noah kept Allie's memories alive through a journal. If there has ever been a memory worth storing in writing, it's the moment you've been envisioning since childhood.

​

A wedding photographer will deliver the gallery, a wedding videographer will deliver the highlights, and the content creator will capture behind the scenes, but a wedding journalist is dedicated to your guests. At the end of the day, you deserve to have a full perspective on the party you invested so much money and time into.

​

You deserve something worth revisiting each anniversary and your children deserve the history.

What makes wedding journalism valuable?

A custom wedding magazine is open to a page describing a married couple's ceremony.

Your wedding is more than just a fleeting moment.

It's a story that deserves to be told.

How Does it Work?

Submit an inquiry form and we will schedule a 15 minute consultation call to get to know one another and discuss your vision before you book. I can answer any questions you might have and we will review what is in a contract if you do choose to move forward.

​

A 50% service fee is due up front to reserve your wedding date with the other 50% due after the wedding once the magazine is ready for production.

Couple's Interview

We will schedule separate interviews so I can hear the perspectives of both partners, completely unfiltered. These calls tend to last at least an hour, so I recommend each person blocking two hours off their calendar. We'll review basic details about your life, discuss your relationship history, go in depth about why you chose to marry, and talk about all your wedding day dreams.

Wedding Day

I attend your big celebration as a guest to take note of any moments that may happen between your guests. You will place me in your seating chart at dinner so I can have casual conversations in a natural environment without imposing.

Source Interviews

In the weeks following your wedding, I will contact your chosen loved ones and schedule a phone call to discuss their personal experience that day, any emotions they were feeling, favorite memories, moments that stood out, and what it was like to watch you fall in love. I do this after the event so no one is pulled out of the moment, put on the spot, or unable to process in real time.

Production

This is the tedious and most intensive step – organizing the collected data, writing stories, integrating interviews, choosing photos, designing pages, reviewing the copy, editing for errors, sending a proof to print, reviewing again, editing again, sending a final print. This can take a few months.

Print & Delivery

When your final prints are ready, we will discuss if you will directly receive the delivery or if I'd like one final chance to look them over before personally sending them on to you. Before anything is ordered, you will need to make your final payment. This invoice will cover the cost of any additional print orders as well as final service payment.

  • I knew I wanted my wedding covered in print — I just didn't want to be the one writing it. Luckily Hannah was available. Every time I spotted her during the wedding she was either furiously taking notes or deep in conversation with our guests, soaking up every detail. The interview process has been easy and genuinely enjoyable.

  • I found Hannah on TikTok and was immediately drawn to her unique work. I’d never seen wedding journalism before, and I loved the idea of preserving our wedding memories in such a meaningful way. She’s been communicative, professional, and so fun to work with throughout the process. It has been such a special addition to our wedding, and I highly recommend her to any couple looking for a truly unique keepsake.
