How to choose an amazing team of wedding vendors, even from far away.

I recently photographed a local wedding for a couple who planned the entirety of their wedding from another country. They found me on The Knot.com. She didn’t ask for referrals for other vendors, so I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up working with some of the top vendors in each category in the area for her wedding — most all of them my friends who I have worked with many times before. I was so impressed that she was able to plan her wedding from afar and amass such a stellar team of vendors, that I decided to pick her brain, as well as the brains of other past brides to find out how they found the vendors they ended up loving to work with.
