Picturesque was formed by Mina Nakanishi Schneider with passion of
helping brides plan their dream weddings.  

I have studied bridal consulting through
Association of Bridal
Consultants (ABC), the oldest and largest training organization for
wedding and event coordinators in the world, and keeps herself updated
with their continuous education.  As a member of ABC, she keeps a high
standard of ethics regulated by the organization.

I once was a bride and found out how hard it was to research,
communicate with vendors, tame family and friends who were overly
excited, and so on while working full time as a landscape architect.  To
tell you the truth, I didn’t work very hard during my engagement period
and I was browsing on the Internet whenever I had time at work, at
home, nights, weekends, etc..   
I’m here to help you so you can focus on your current life.  I will do the
rest.

When I decided to become a wedding coordinator, I knew I was ready to
go all the way.  First I joined
Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC),
the oldest and largest training organization for wedding and event
coordinators in the world.  After completing my studies and the series of
exams required by the association, I was designated as a “Professional
Bridal Consultant”.     I  keep myself updated with ABC's continuous
education.  
Most wedding coordinators will stop their education at that point.  But I
was so determined to become one of the best wedding coordinators out
there.  
I decided to work as an assistant under an experienced wedding
coordinator in Los Angeles area.  My goal was to learn how to handle
top-notch weddings and to learn from the best.

And here I am.  I am still working for the wedding coordinator to keep
learning when I don’t have my own wedding.  Being exposed to the most
orchestrated, detailed, full-serviced platinum weddings allows me to
provide the same level of service to my brides.  
My philosophy is to treat every bride and couple equally, regardless of
budget.  I keep in mind the wedding day is one of the most special
occasions in life and I am honored to help create the dream wedding.  

Last but not least, congratulations on your engagement!!!
