Amanda and Alli grew up as neighbors from the age of 8 years old! Years later Alli would capture Andrew and Amanda's wedding, later featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Page Six and more. In this episode Alli and Amanda interview one another! From wedding tips to career pivots, from family to faith, from childhood until now. Please enjoy and give us a rate, review & subscribe! Alli is an award winning wedding and portrait photographer serving all of the U.S. and abroad. You've seen her featured on TheKnot.com as a repeated recipient of their “Best Of” awards! Norway remains her favorite photography location to date. This year's schedule is currently bringing her to Memphis, Philadelphia, and all the way to Maine. Her career did not start here, though. Alli graduated college with a TV degree and worked in Los Angeles for 10 years before moving closer to family to make her wedding business full time. She worked on shows such as The Doctors, Jersey Shore, Cold Case Files, and others. Weddings and portraits began as a creative outlet from what was a very stressful TV environment. It was a chance for family and storytelling to fill her cup while living far from home. It reconnected her to friends and provided a fulfilling challenge. With time, this hobby has morphed into the most meaningful career decision she could have made.

We have learned that expressing extraordinary love to one another is not only important for a thriving marriage, but is also a way to demonstrate God's love to the world. Through the Bible passage of 1 Corinthians 13, we found three practices to level up our love: patience and kindness, forgiveness, and building endurance.  By doing these things, we can enjoy our marriage, rather than just enduring it."Love takes no pleasure in other people's sin, but delights in the truth. It's always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end."In this episode, you will learn the following:1. That Valentine's Day is actually Valentine's Week.2. What the Bible says about how we should love each other.3. How we take our love to the next level and move from mundane to masterpiece.And as a bonus...The Valentines gift that James gave to Lisa that earned James a pass on Valentines for the rest of their marriage...Resources:Schedule a Discovery Call about Marriage RebootSUBSCRIBE: Email UpdatesOther episodes you'll enjoy:Practising the Art of SpousingHope Rising: 3 Ways to Invest in Your Marriage This YearLove: Defining the Three EssentialsConnect with us:Send Questions and Comments to: hello@artofspousing.comWebsite: artofspousing.comFB: artofspousingIG: @artofspousingJames IG: @thejamesduvallLisa IG: @lisaduvallSUBSCRIBE ON:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicArt of Spousing is edited using Descript...the all-in-one audio & video editing application.Loved this episode?

Ted Lowe reveals a startling truth about the secret to a great marriage--that it's not the opposite of a struggling marriage, but something different--he embarks on a journey to help couples shift their thinking and focus on the positive to experience true marital bliss."It's so great to have people in this space like you guys that are co champions, that we're both going after the same thing. We want to help couples and just every time I'm with you guys, I am encouraged just to keep going."Ted is a speaker, blogger, and the director of Married People, the marriage division of Orange, a nonprofit organization devoted to influencing those who influence the next generation. Ted is also the author of a New Marriage book, Us in mind how changing your thoughts can change your marriage. Ted Lowe had always been passionate about helping couples, but he noticed a pattern: some couples would take the advice he gave and change their marriage, while others would just hear it and do nothing. He was determined to find out why and discovered a powerful truth: the happiest couples were those who thought the best of their spouses. Ted then set out to write a book about it, and in the process discovered the power of intentional thoughts and positive illusions. After teaching this material to couples, he found that his simple exercise of asking people to think about what their Abba Father would say to them was liberating. He was so glad he'd taken the time to write the book and help couples find true joy in their marriages.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. What do couples who are really doing well do differently?2. How can we shift our thinking to better align with God's desires for us?3. What are some techniques to help couples focus on what they love about their spouse rather than what they don't?Resources:Schedule a Discovery Call about Marriage RebootSUBSCRIBE: Monthly NewsletterOther episodes you'll enjoy:Practising the Art of SpousingMarried For a Purpose Resources:Website: tedlowe.comIG: @tedloweBooks:Us In Mind: How Changing Your Thoughts Can Change Your MarriageYour Best Us: Marriage Is Easier Than YouMarried People: How Your Church Can Build Marriages that LastConnect with us:Send Questions and Comments to: hello@artofspousing.comWebsite: artofspousing.comFB: artofspousingIG: @artofspousingJames IG: @thejamesduvallLisa IG: @lisaduvallSUBSCRIBE ON:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicArt of Spousing is edited using Descript...the all-in-one audio & video editing application.Loved this episode?

The multitalented Gail Claridge (interior designer-decorator-contractor) and her daughter Christie Claridge, reveal the fascinating story behind their luxury events venue Country Meadow Ranch and the exclusive Somis Inn. Gail never intended to move into a barn, but after lovingly restoring the 3,000 sq ft barn, she and her husband decided to make it their home. Tragedy struck during the global pandemic and Gail's beloved husband passed away from COVID. Recently retired from her interior design business, Gail decided to open her gorgeous property to weddings, charitable events, commercials and the film industry.  In 1983, Gail was the only woman in a class of 2,000 men to graduate as a contractor. Not only can she design a building, she designs it with a distinctly decorator flair. Today, the Country Meadow Ranch features exclusive amenities like a polo lounge for groomsmen, a bridal cottage, wood chapel, and manicured lawns. Of course guests of the Somis Inn enjoy a meticulously manicured house, but Gail herself irons the pillowcases and handpicks the fresh flower arrangements. Find even more property details and stunning photos - and to schedule a tour - visit CountryMeadowRanch.com or visit wedding planning websites, TheKnot.com and WeddingWire.com.

Today's episode is all about Schmidt rants and hoping I don't ever get cancelled, but you know, I was always Corporate Schmidt, so I've been pretty locked down for years and not dumb, 15, and tweeting. I dive into my old tweets to see if there is anything I should be worried about---we shall see. Also, I've said it before and I will say it again, the only reason to have a baby is to have an Anne Geddes style photo shoot, so why aren't people doing this?!? I want to see your baby dressed up as a cabbage--DUH. Finally a Schmidt rant like no other--are people really washing their reusable Ziploc bags or throwing them out? Why are people choosing white bridesmaid dresses and who the hell is running Dolly Parton's social media and causing a stir with the #dollypartonchallenge? I'm thinking of starting a #9to5challenge, which would compare our Outlook head-shots, work from home, and finally what we look like at 9 am vs 5 pm (it ain't pretty folks). Okay, you ready? Let's go.Thanks for listening! Follow me on Instagram at @skschmidt or like my Facebook page "Sarah Talks Schmidt."

With the ubiquity of content marketing today, creating new ways to marry brands with creative is essential. For Episode 37 of Insider InSites, showrunner and Executive Producer of I Do to the Venue, Victoria (Tori) Riess, explains how they built brands in to the new reality show right from “jump.” In the format of “hunter” shows (think Million Dollar House Hunters or even Vintage Tech Hunters), I Do follows a couple touring three wedding venues and ultimately reveals the results of their big decision of where to get married. For this spin, The Knot Worldwide and Bloomingdale’s were co-starring brands woven into the content. The show also delivers against content and distribution goals for A+E’s FYI, where the show will premiere this week. The network will explore multiple ways to distribute the show, per Christian Murphy, their Head of Enthusiast Brands: “You can no longer solely rely on a strong linear platform and an original show or format -- you have to build a multi-content and multi-platform approach. This product hits on two fundamental areas for A+E: the importance of partnership and the need to innovate in this dynamic media landscape. We've always been strongly committed to being collaborative partners, but it's never been more important as we find new ways to engage audiences with compelling stories across multiple platforms.” The Knot’s Amanda Goetz, Vice President of Marketing, and Nicole Vellucci, Vice President of Shopping Services of Bloomingdale’s joined Riess and me in studio to discuss how the topic and approach enabled seamless and authentic brand integration.

We are hoping to help with that by giving you a few dates NOT to have a wedding on. Plus, we are here to give you some guidance on how life is going to change now that you are engaged. Dates not to have your wedding on A few dates to avoid: Super Bowl Sunday Final Four/March Madness World Series Large Festival Weekends that take place (in Austin- SXSW, ACL Festival) Holiday weekends con- families have standing plans or traditions Mother’s Day Father’s Day Independence Day Thanksgiving Christmas/New year's (Irish tradition states that New Year's Eve is a lucky day to get married-You will be able to start fresh and happy in the New Year) Tax Day Bad luck: Friday 13th Patriot Day-Sept 11th Ides of March (March 15th) Remembrance Day- Dec 7th Religious Observances Rosh Hashana Yom Kippur Chanukah Palm Sunday Easter Sunday Passover Kwanzaa Close to a birthday Leap Day- don't do it, it just confuses everything and everyone! Thanks to TheKnot for helping us out with this, here is a link to check out all dates for 2019, 2020, and 2021. https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-dates-to-avoid Etiquette for Newly Engaged Couples It is not bragging to post a pic of your engagement ring on social media but it makes a happy statement to include you and your fiancé in the photo(s) as well. People are going to ask questions. Be ready. Think about how you will kindly and tactfully answer these questions. And some people will be nosy! You may, and it is encouraged, register before the engagement party if you choose to have one. But do not include the registry info on the party invitation. Only offer the info if asked. If you have yet to meet parents do so as soon as possible. If you do not like the engagement ring that was picked out for you: There are a few options: learn to love it or work together to design something new. Just remember that the giver has feelings too so be kind. Give great thought into who you will ask to be in your bridal party. Its hard to take back once you’ve asked, or blurted out on a whim. Episode 168 Traditionally the engagement party is thrown by the bride's parents but anyone can host, even you! But don’t ask your MOH or Best Man to host as they have other obligations. If you opt to have the party, make sure it’s closer to the engagement rather than the wedding. Refrain as long as possible from oversharing wedding planning details on social media. First, you want to keep your details a surprise for your guest. Secondly, you will receive much advice, much of it unsolicited! You may be asked quite a few questions about the ring, how big is it, how much was it, or even is it real. Answering with an “it’s not the size that matters to me, I love it” is advised. Even using humor to lighten the conversation can be another way to go. Usually, Engagement parties are kept fairly small since you will most likely want to invite them to the wedding also. When it comes to changing your status on social media, that’s totally up to you. But we advise waiting until you’ve told your VIPs. Don’t want ma finding out through FB. Share your love not your brags. Calling you in-laws Mom and Dad...it’s up to you. Some never feel comfortable doing that. Don’t panic and get overwhelmed at the idea of planning a wedding. There are lots of resources and people to help you. Don’t let planning take precedence over your relationship! Keep dating!!!

In this week's episode of the This Week In Weddings podcast, we're chatting with a social media maven all about Instagram and her tips for what to post, where to post, and even how to evaluate your strategy with the platform's statistics. About our guest:  Samantha Roberts was a Division 1 golfer based out of California, but found herself spending most of her days on the course dreaming about weddings instead of her next shot.
