The Perfect Wedding



While we love planning exquisite, elegant, perfect weddings, I want each of my brides and grooms to remember the quote above.  The day will be perfect because you're marrying each other.  We'll add the icing on the cake by making it the best day possible, helping you create memories for a lifetime.

Happy Monday!

Tuesday....Shoesday

It's been awhile since I posted a proper Tuesday-Shoesday!  I'm love-love-loving tones of blush and pink for spring, and these beauties by BHLDN are swoon-worthy.  I'm picturing layers of tulle, a fluffy bouquet of pink peonies, and these beauties.



Happy Tuesday!

Sneak Peek - Natasha and Jason's E-session!

I'm excited to share a sneak peek of Natasha and Jason's engagement session!  
We've been working together for a few months to plan their wedding, and these pictures capture the essence of who they are as a couple just perfectly!  Laura Grier of Beautiful Day Photography took these amazing shots.  I can't wait to see what she does for their wedding this summer!

Sunset at the Beach

This fun mural was at a Union 76 station!

Jason proposed to Natasha on one of these boats.  This is such a romantic shot!

And the photo below sums up what it feels like to work with Natasha and Jason - FUN!!



I can't wait for August!

Downton Abbey - Why?!?!!


I watched the season finale of the 3rd Season of Downton Abbey last night.  I was a day late and had seen spoilers on Facebook, but I was hoping right down to the last minute that Facebook was wrong.  They were not.

For those of you who watch this fabulous, fabulous period drama, I know you join me in mourning dear Matthew Crawley.  For those of you who don't watch, isn't Mary a beautiful bride?  I'm seriously hoping to work with a bride who loves the 20's Gatsby-esque wedding style!

Happy Tuesday!
