Brittny Drye, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Love Inc., shares with us why it was important for her to create a truly inclusive publication, and how her Love Lists help same sex couples find equality-minded vendors. “...even though we do have marriage equality, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done in the wedding space. Specifically, a lot of wedding pros still discriminate unfortunately. A lot of wedding pros still need education on marketing to LGBTQ+ couples. So, there's definitely still a need for that inclusive angle and that inclusive lens on the wedding content. So I'm still fighting the good fight.” - Brittny Drye Follow Love Inc. on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest! Email: bdrye@loveincmag.com Purchase the magazine here: Love Inc.

Angela Bartunek, owner of Aster + Olive Photography, shares her advice on what to look for when choosing your photographer. We discuss what is involved in the budget, red flags to look out for, current trends, and why communication is so important. From the first look to the first dance- we have you covered! Follow Angela Bartunek and Aster + Olive on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest! Get to know Angela… Hello my name is Angela and I’m the founder behind Aster + Olive Photography. Jen, my lead associate photographer and I have been proudly shooting weddings and portraits for almost 10 years. I’m blown away by how amazing this journey has been for us. It all started with taking a photography class in high school. Developing film and seeing my images come to life was complete magic. Photography was definitely my first love. At the same time I was also drawn to the world of fashion. It was a tough decision to make but ultimately I ended up pursuing a degree in fashion design and graduated with a BFA from FIT in NYC. After many years of career changes and life events, I switched gears, returned to my first love and started up A+O. The path that lead me here has helped me tremendously. I’m so grateful for it all. I met Jen shortly after I started shooting weddings. I knew the moment we met we had the same vision. Our esthetics and approach to photography are seamless. We both believe the connections and friendships we make with our clients is just as important as the photographs themselves. We’re both storytellers. We know the importance and value the photos have. It bends time and lives on for generations. It’s an honor we hold dearly to our hearts. This has been a production of Evergreen Podcasts.
