A Guide to All of Our Vendor Interviews (So Far)
Every Perspectives interview we've published to date, all in one place, with quick summaries and direct links to each one.
One of our favorite things about Pretty Perspectives has been the chance to sit down with vendors across the wedding industry and hear their stories firsthand. Every conversation has been different: different markets, different specialties, different stages of business. But they all share one thing in common: real, specific insights that you can actually apply to your own work.
We wanted to put all of those interviews in one place so you can browse them, catch up on any you missed, or revisit a favorite. Below you'll find each one listed in the order it was published, along with a short summary of what makes it worth your time.
1. Paulina Perrucci
Bay Area wedding photographer Paulina Perrucci treats weddings as a true team sport. In this interview, she talks about going above and beyond for both couples and vendors through collaborative shooting, bringing a content creator to every event (even when clients don't pay for it), and keeping her work fresh with editorials and story-driven sessions. She also gets into how face-to-face connection, educational social content, and fearless networking have been the backbone of her growth.
2. Hunter Ryan Photo
South Florida destination wedding photographer Tiffany and her husband Cody have spent more than a decade photographing couples who fly in from all over the country for weekend-long celebrations on the coast. Their interview covers how they've built a business on long-term vendor relationships, shooting for the entire creative team (not just the couple), and elevating the client experience through multi-day storytelling. They also share how they protect their energy and pricing by knowing their "best yes," and why running their studio as business owners first and creatives second has been key to longevity.
3. Found Rental Co.
When you talk to Jeni Maus, you immediately feel the heart behind Found Rental Co. What started in 2010 as a tightly curated vintage concept has grown into one of the most respected rental and fabrication teams in the industry. In this interview, Jeni explains why kindness and collaboration are the real competitive edge in rentals, how showing up like "one team" on high-stakes days builds long-term trust, and how she's elevated the client experience with seasonal lookbooks and thoughtful gifting. She also gets into Found's expanding custom fabrication work and why proactive communication prevents last-minute surprises.
4. Fox Events
Lauren Fox doesn't talk about weddings like they're solo performances. She talks about them like they're group projects with very high stakes, where trust, clarity, and mutual respect are the difference between a smooth day and a stressful one. In this interview, the Fox Events founder dives into her incredible journey as a vendor, why long-term success comes from earning trust through clear expectations and consistent communication, and what matters most to her as she continues building.
5. Gloster House
In the heart of Ireland sits a 300-year-old country house with a fascinating approach to the wedding business. While most venues chase quantity, Gloster House deliberately limits themselves to just 25 weddings per year. Director of Events Nigel Alexander explains how that intentional constraint creates an unforgettable experience, why treating all vendors as partners (not staff) has driven the kind of word-of-mouth marketing that money can't buy, and what it means to build a truly sustainable wedding venue business.
6. Luxury Wedding Escapes
Destination weddings are booming, but the best ones rarely happen at the most obvious locations. We sat down with Michele Fox Gott, founder of Center of Attention Events and Luxury Wedding Escapes, who has spent three decades planning celebrations around the globe. She makes the case for thinking beyond Lake Como, explains how to vet vendors internationally, and introduces her new venture: immersive, multi-hotel trips that let couples experience potential venues as a guest before booking as a client.
7. Liz Banfield
Liz Banfield has been photographing weddings since 1998, back when the industry was shifting from staged formal portraits to the editorial storytelling approach we know today. She was part of the first wave of photographers leading that change. In this interview, Liz shares how she thinks about wedding teams like sports teams, why she cross-trains with other photography genres to keep her work sharp, and the six-week pre-wedding client call system she uses to prevent day-of chaos. If you've been in the industry a while and want perspective from someone who's thrived across nearly three decades, start here.
8. 5.15 Photo Co.
There's something special that happens when you walk onto a wedding day and genuinely love the people you're working alongside. For Jaycee, partner at Toronto's 5.15 Photo Co., that feeling isn't just a nice bonus; it's the foundation of everything they do. In this interview, she explains why focusing on tangible keepsakes and print has kept them thriving for nearly 25 years, how authentic relationships and teamwork create magic with both vendor partners and clients, and why the human side of vendorship still matters most.
9. Bliss Productions
Lindsay Buwalda built Bliss Productions into a top-tier event planning and design firm by treating every client like a brand, staying ruthlessly authentic, and viewing vendor relationships as a collaborative team building something together. Over 16 years, she's learned that saying no to the wrong clients and investing in real relationships is what separates premium work from the noise. This interview covers her interior design background, why she only takes on full planning and design, and how she's preparing for a new generation of couples who want something completely different from their millennial predecessors.
10. Mallory Dawn
Mallory Dawn is a wedding photographer based in Orange County who has spent over a decade building her business around one core principle: intentionality. What started with a borrowed Canon T2i and headshots for friends turned into a full wedding photography career by 2014, and she hasn't looked back since. In this interview, Mallory gets into how she nurtures vendor relationships, how she's navigating social media as a working mom, and why the level of care she puts into every client touchpoint has become her strongest differentiator. A great read for anyone thinking about how small, intentional details compound into a standout brand.
11. Spoonflower
This one's a little different. Spoonflower isn't a wedding vendor in the traditional sense. They're a print-on-demand platform for custom fabric, wallpaper, and home decor, with no minimums and fast domestic turnaround. Senior Director of Sales and Growth Marketing Caroline Walker explains how the brand found its way into the wedding space and discovered a massive gap: most vendors are working within tight constraints on customization, stock patterns, and long lead times. Spoonflower does the opposite. If you're a planner or designer looking for a new creative tool, or you're curious about how non-endemic brands are entering the wedding market, this is a fascinating conversation.
