Build your budget

Add what matters to you. Mark items as “Need” or “Want” — we’ll track both totals.

💡 Quick Tips: Enter numbers without commas (use 1000 not 1,000). Press Tab or click out of a field to update totals. Check “per person” for catering, bar, invitations.

NICE TO HAVE

How to save for it

Small amounts add up faster than you think. Here’s what happens when you start now.

You’ll save

Pro tip: Put your savings in a high-yield savings account (4-5% APY) and you’ll earn an extra $200-500 in interest. Every little bit helps!

Why couples trust me with their budget

I’ve photographed over 100 weddings between Reno and Tahoe. I know what things cost, which vendors deliver, and where you can save without sacrificing what matters.

“Tiffani helped us prioritize what actually mattered. We stayed under budget and got photos we’ll treasure forever.”
