Recommended Vendors + Services for your Dog on your Wedding Day | Danica Oliva Photography
There are so many talented businesses and services that can help with your wedding day that are specific for your dog. That’s where I come in. First and foremost the safety, comfortability, and stress levels of your pup on your wedding day is my main priority. Ensuring that they have a positive experience on a big day that will occupy their owners attention is the most important thing to me. Why? As a dog momma myself, and someone who works with dogs very regularly for weddings, I never want my couples to be thinking/worrying about their dog and their state of mind. Even the little things like “is someone watching Bernie? Is someone there to pick up his potty breaks?” Yes the little things matter, and all those things can weigh on your thoughts EVEN on your special day. I’m wanted to provide my top picks of services and vendors that will help with the care of your pup AND some others that amazing humans that provide fun products too!

“Forever inspired by my girls, Beans and Cashew; I wanted to create dog gear essentials that could stand the test of time. While staying true to a vegan lifestyle and avoiding any unneeded waste, these pieces allow for a more practical and smart collection. It all started when I was searching for photoshoot worthy dog gear that would not only look great but be durable and easy to maintain. Fast forward to minimalist mutt. I am passionate about crafting collars and leashes that are as beautiful as they are functional, because you and your best friend deserve the best.”
