Wedding Planning & Small business Resources during the coronavirus outbreak
In light of the spread of the Coronavirus, I realize that navigating through these uncharted circumstances is impacting us all. I pray, good health, safety & added joy to fill your days & your homes during this trying time. My heart is especially heavy for each bride & groom who’s wedding day is being heavily affected by these current events. Planning a wedding can already be stressful without any added outside variables, so I can only imagine the great amount of stress that the coronavirus is added to this season that should be a joyful one for all engaged couples.
If you or any of your loved ones are planning a wedding in the coming weeks or months
please share this list of wedding resources below. I hope that these resources provide some encouragement, guidance or relief during these difficult times.

To the Ica Images family (my incredible clients), thank you for your words of encouragement, your flexibility & kindness during this time. Regular emails regarding how the coronavirus outbreak may affect Ica Images clients will continue to be sent directly to your emails throughout the coming weeks.
If you are a fellow wedding/event photographer or vendor, my heart goes out to you & I know that these times are weighing heavy. The courage you mustered up to start a business & jump into the entrepreneurial world, is the courage you already posses to face the unknown in the next coming weeks.
If you need a hand to hold (virtually & hypothetically) during these next few weeks please know that you are not alone & please reach out to your peers or me, you don’t need to face these times alone! Small business ownership can already feel lonely, these are the time we need to support one another.
Resources for fellow small business owners/photographers:
Honeybook + Rising Tide Society
The Legal Paige
I lost my gig
Free 2 months of Adobe Creative Cloud
Please continue to support your local small businesses during a time where all of our work/businesses are being brought to a screeching halt. Reschedule photoshoots/events where you can, buy gift cards from these businesses to give away or use for another day to help keep their businesses going, & harness the power of sharing their business online to your own online social media communities!
Let’s work together while we are all apart.
Finally, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting
me & my family through your support of Ica Images.
You all are a blessing & I am grateful to do what I love because of your support & love.
