Best celebration & event photography books according to redditors

I'm a huge fan of an old school spreadsheet of ideal and actual costs. My fiance was not, so i got this book (https://www.amazon.com/Budget-Savvy-Wedding-Planner-Organizer-Checklists/dp/1623159857) and had him fill out the workheets and we were able to get on the same page with our vision and budget for our engagement, wedding, and honeymoon.

So far we're in budget. If time is on your side, you can wait for items go on sale.

Maybe her hours were misstated? That seems most likely. Or perhaps she doesn't really need the money and just loves Burning Man. She (Jennifer Raiser) authored "Burning Man: Art on Fire" last year.

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! :) Here are a couple things I liked in my planning:

1. Wedding Planning for the Busy Feminist - Practical and funny and very useful day-of timelines. Also a great appendix of vendors, designers, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Wedding-Planning-Feminist-Amanda-Pendolino/dp/1980821887
   
   
2. The Knot's Planning Binder - Great for organizing contracts and business cards, I liked their color swatches for choosing coordinating colors. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Wedding-Planner-Organizer-binder/dp/0770433367
   
   
3. Budget Savvy Bride Wedding Planner & Organizer https://www.amazon.com/Budget-Savvy-Wedding-Planner-Organizer-Checklists/dp/1623159857
   
   
4. K Company Smash Book - My sister in law gave me this - a great place to collect all sorts of mementos as you're planning your special day! https://www.amazon.com/K-Company-30-659391-CompanySMASH-Wedding/dp/B007HONAV8/

I've gifted this book twice https://www.amazon.com/dp/1623159857/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.22IUWUC89C0FO&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_budgetsavvybride_lv_dp_vv_d. another good one is the Bridechilla book

Right?! I'm also waiting for this book because I really like to write stuff down still too.

Loved this one!

Budget-Savvy Wedding Planner

I've been using The Budget Savy Bride book. You don't need to be having a 'budget' wedding. It's been good for organizing my thoughts, priorities, and planning overall.

I met someone special at Burning Man and I wanted to get them a Burning Man related Christmas Gift. I am torn between this book, which ive read and liked, and the one linked to this post.
