Recently I have been helping Coty’s sister plan her wedding. Everything from the flowers, invites, bridesmaids dresses and registry, I’ve helped as much as I could. Its reminded me what all our couples go through in planning their own weddings. I know there are always some highs and lows that come with planning but we have always tried our hardest to make it as easy as possible on our end. I’m happy to say that Gively is just another example of that.

So what is Gively? Its a wedding photography registry! So many of our couples these days are already established in a home. A lot of times they register for things they really want but they sometimes already have the things they need. This is an amazing opportunity for guests to give the bride & groom something that will last longer then that blender they have their eye on. I know personally that there are some wedding gifts we have cherished, someone gave us a beautiful nativity scene and we get it out every Christmas and the holiday spirit hits our home before thanksgiving so I love getting it out. Then there was a paper shredder that we actually used but still a little odd. I love that guests are able to give their bride & groom a photography credit toward their investment with us.  We let our couples choose whether they want to use it towards their overall package, their wedding album or maybe one of our fine art prints.

One of the best parts of this registry is that 100% of the guests investment goes to the bride & groom so there are no fees on their end or the couple’s end! As a business we have invested in gively because we believe this is a fabulous way for couples to get a gift that will last a lifetime!

I have to add some of the perks from a photography standpoint! One of the first things I really wanted was to be able to help our couples out when booking us. Wedding photography is such an important investment and we know so many of our couples put this at a very high priority and that is why we loved giving them the opportunity to be able to share this with their guests. I know for a fact that the moment I mentioned gively to one of our couples their ears perked up and they immediately booked! I also believe that some of their guests value photography just as much as they do and they are willing to gift them a something like this rather then something off their Target registry. We all love a quick trip to Target but a gift like this lasts so much longer and means so much more then that cute candle they just added to the registry.
