why hire a planner
I started offering Day of Coordination services for weddings in January 2020 and have now been a part of celebrating over 50 love stories. In addition to weddings, I've also coordinated and designed many styled shoots/editorials which have been published and featured in local magazines and top wedding blogs.
what experience do you have?
Dionne Kraus Photography
I'm based in Portland, OR and yes I love to travel! If you want me to coordinate a destination event, it will require a travel fee. I always try to find the most affordable way to come and don't want it hinder you from hiring me for a project.
There are also bucket list places that I will waive or discount travel fees for.
do you travel?
Lady J Memories
Absolutely! If you have something in mind, I will work with you to create a custom package for you. Every event is different and I totally understand that. Add on options are also available for my Wedding Planning and Event Coordination packages.
are custom packages available?
Lady J Memories
Please feel free to reach out to me on my contact page if you have other questions. I'm happy to answer them via email or connect via phone. If in person suits you better, let's grab something to drink and chat.
do you have another question?
Dionne Kraus Photography
The wedding industry has given me the opportunity to work with so many talented vendors. These small businesses are my go-tos for recommendations when asked.
I love working alongside them and I know adding them to your special day will only enhance the magic of the event.
Questions? I’m happy to chat more about who we can partner with to make your day even more special.
