introducing…
The Calm Wedding Planning Series
You’re planning one of the most meaningful days of your life.
And yet, so many brides reach the end of their wedding day feeling like it all moved too fast.
Too many decisions.
Too much pressure.
Too many moments that deserved to be felt, not rushed.
The truth is, most wedding stress does not come from the day itself.
It comes from planning without a sense of pace, intention, or emotional space.
The most common regret brides share years later is not about décor or details. It’s wishing they had slowed down enough to truly be present.
There is a gentler way to plan your wedding.
The Calm Wedding Planning Series was created to help you plan with clarity, intention, and emotional ease, so your wedding day feels grounded, meaningful, and worth remembering.
This series is not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters, thoughtfully.
What This Series Is
A guided wedding planning resource designed for brides who value meaning over momentum and memory over perfection.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
• Thoughtfully pace your wedding day so nothing feels rushed
• Make design decisions that reflect your story, not trends
• Create space for connection with the people you love most
• Understand how your timeline, portraits, and ceremony all work together
• Plan with confidence, knowing what truly impacts how your day feels
Every post is designed to be read slowly, at your own pace, and revisited as needed throughout your planning journey.
What This Series Is Not
This is not a checklist to race through.
It is not a collection of trends or rules.
And it is not meant to overwhelm you with options.
It is a calm, steady guide built from years of photographing weddings where presence mattered more than perfection.
Created With You in Mind
I’m Sarah Ann Sargent, the photographer behind Lele & Beane Photography.
Over the years, I’ve witnessed hundreds of wedding days unfold, some rushed, some frantic, and some incredibly calm.
The weddings that stay with me the most are not the ones with the biggest budgets or the most elaborate details.
They are the ones where the couple felt anchored.
Where moments were protected.
Where memories had room to form.
This series exists because I believe your wedding deserves that same care.
