The beautiful, talented Tasha Meys joins us on the podcast today. Recent bride, and wedding vendor herself being a photographer. This is one is full of incredible advice and perspective, it is one you will get a lot out of!  A few things we cover: Her background in photography, resisting doing weddings for a while and eventually falling in love with them as soon as she photographed one. How she met her husband, crossing paths in their careers and then eventually socially. Their off-the-grid proposal and how they soaked up their just-engaged bubble. Finding the perfect venue that reflects them as a couple. Being intentional with planning to enjoy every part and make tasks an experience and memory with others. Choosing her bridal party and considering how much involvement they had in the leadup, not putting expectations or pressure on people. Their pre-wedding events and how that gave them so much more quality time with their guests. How the energy of everyone around you really sets your day and how to intentionally set the tone. Having a moment alone on her wedding day and how grounding that was. The importance of an on-the-day coordinator. Choosing quality over excess. Post-wedding blues and the actual chemicals in your brain that have a part to play in it. How communication is so important for vendors and how you can tell someone's vibe even through their emails. ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all T & R's vendors.

In this episode I speak to the bubbly and happy Tasha Meys aka @tastefullytash – content creator, digital marketer and podcast host. It’s really hard to define what Tasha does with a single job title, basically she is a master of….Instagram – and she’s made a career out of it. As a content creator and photographer (@tastefully_studios) she works with brands to create ‘thumb-stopping’ imagery for their products and she works with brands in the ‘influencer’ space – helping businesses promote and market their products to around 60k of her insta-followers. As well as all that, Tasha hosts the popular @acethegrampodcast with her business partner @vivconway_. I’ve followed Tasha on Instagram for a while and am a big fan of Ace The Gram but I was really interested to talk to Tasha as not only is she a bonafide ‘influencer’ but she is also a digital native, identifying the power of Instagram at university (at an age where many of us were still calling our friends and families on landlines). From there she has harnessed the world of social media, built a business around it and become an expert in it. This is an awesome episode full of many insights, particularly into the world of marketing and Instagram, I hope you enjoy.You should totally check out Tash on all her Instagram handles - @tastefullytash (48k followers!), @tastefully_studios (13.8k followers) and my personal favourite @acethegrampodcast.
