Today’s post is for all my fellow vendors! We’ve been at this wedding season for a few months now, and I’m sure we have all become too familiar with the dreaded and inevitable next day wedding vendor “hangover.” Now, before we get too far into this post I need to clarify something: A wedding vendor hangover is NOT a result of drinking too much while on the job! It’s not even a result of drinking!! I have never and will never drink at a wedding that I am working!! OK… now that we are all on the same page, let’s chat about what a wedding vendor hangover really is!

I can’t help but to get emotional when someone invites me to be part of their wedding day… It is truly an honor to walk alongside my couples during one of the most memorable days of their life, and is something I take on with so much joy and excitement. Now… I usually tear up during most wedding days, but I found myself misty-eyed behind the camera a little more than usual during this one!

Hi friends! Today is an exciting day because… it’s my birthday!! Now, I love celebrating others’ birthdays, but I’m a little weird about celebrating my own. I have no idea why—maybe it’s because I don’t really love being the center of attention… maybe its because I’m away from my family… maybe it’s because I’m just weird… […]

I start every wedding day by sitting down with a big box of my bride’s details and accessories, and y’all, it is so much fun! From my couple’s wedding bands to the bride’s bouquet, to her shoes, gown, jewelry, family heirlooms and, of course, the invitation suite, I love taking a little bit of time to style […]
