Vendor Tags

I really love to tag the vendors in photos that I post on social media and on my website to make it super easy for folks to find who worked on your beautiful wedding! It makes it much easier to do this if I know the Instagram handles of the vendors that do really great work at your wedding.

You don't have to fill the following section out, but I would really appreciate it so I don't have to scrape them all together on the day of your wedding 🙂 Even if you can just provide one of the 3 columns, that should greatly help me put together the rest!

This also helps you get featured in The Southern California Bride Blog instagram of which I'm a paying member!
