It's no surprise that planning a wedding can be a little overwhelming at times. From finding the perfect vendors to designing a tablescape there are so many little details to think about and decisions to be made. I've talked on the blog before about Creating A Wedding Timeline but I wanted to dive a little deeper into the morning of your wedding because I truly feel it sets the tone for the entire day. When you first start planning a wedding you think of the beginning of the

We're officially one month away from our wedding, and we are getting all the feels. When people ask us how we're feeling, our only answer is we are freaking excited! After a long engagement, we are just beyond ready for the weekend to finally be here so that we can celebrate with our family and friends and officially become husband and wife. We celebrated both our bachelorette and bachelor parties as well as my bridal shower. I thought I would do a little recap of the shower

One of the first things I do upon arrival to your wedding day is capture all the little details. You know the ones I'm talking about. The invitations, your rings, little mementos and heirlooms. These details (and photos) are some of my favorite because they help tell the story of your day. To be honest, as a bride & photographer, the details are where the magic is. Dreaming up the details has been my favorite part of wedding planning. It's allowed me to weave in pieces of our

If you know me, you know that the people and relationships (especially friendships) in my life are the very most important. My girls are my family and I've always prided myself on my friendships. When I got engaged, we we all may have been equally excited to throw together a bachelorette as we were to plan a wedding (sorry Cole). shop: bathing suits And let me tell you, we did not disappoint. I'm honestly still on cloud nine dreaming and reminiscing of every single second of

As I get older, it seems that time just keeps going faster. I can't believe it's been over a year since we got engaged. So much in our life has changed - we bought our apartment building, we got a new pup, we've traveled, and another wedding season has come and gone. When sharing the realness of wedding planning over on my Instagram a few of you requested more wedding planning blog posts. So today I thought I would share a follow up since my last post, 6 Months Engaged | A&C

As you embark on your wedding planning journey, so many questions arise that you might have never even thought of before! There is so much to consider and at times, can be overwhelming! I get it - I'm a bride planning a wedding too! And everything outside photography world seems foreign to me even though I'm in the industry. Today I wanted to share a question I get asked frequently and help provide better knowledge and understanding so you can make the best decision that's ri

Photo by Kivalo Everyone keeps asking us how wedding planning is going and I feel like we keep making this face. Haha, but really...I think I had unrealistic expectations of what wedding planning would be like - and to be honest sometimes it's just stressful, but other times I have total "pinch me" moments. So today I thought I would share our 6 month engaged wedding planning update! Jeez, how'd it fly by that fast. I hope this helps any engaged couples, clients, future clien

When taking a poll on Instagram about blog topics, a lot of you suggested to do wedding planning updates. I thought it would be fitting to start with our engagement party details! In case you missed our proposal blog post, you can view it here. Prior to getting engaged, we knew we wanted to have a long engagement to really embrace the special time and not rush into planning a wedding. We got engaged on October 2, 2017 and are planning our wedding for June 22, 2019. We had qui

Your wedding day is going to be one of the happiest days of your life. You spend months, years, and ok... maybe most of your childhood planning for this day. Photographing your wedding is an honor I do not take lightly. I'm so unbelievably grateful to be a part of each client's special day. That's why, at the end of this crazy beautiful process I hope you consider me not just a professional you hired, but a friend. At this point in the planning process, you're likely looking
