Oh weddings. They have been a big part of my life for more than a decade of photographing them. I feel like I have seen (and documented!) it all when it comes to the hundreds of weddings that I have attended. That is until, I experienced going through the process of planning and living through […]

Wedding Planning: What We Did Differently
I am not saying that we had a radically unusual wedding. But we did have a wedding that was 100% us and as a result, was not the usual traditional wedding. I am making no judgements on other weddings because I think that whatever you choose to do for yours is awesome because it […]
Our Wedding Day
I thought that it would be good to do a little ditty with a rundown of how our wedding rolled out since a lot of people have been asking us questions about it. This is my twelfth year photographing weddings and after having the opportunity of spending time at literally hundreds of weddings, it was […]
Custom Wedding Place Cards
I got mildly crafty for our wedding with a couple of DIY projects. The first of which was the heart ring bearer “pillow” that I crocheted. While we had a cocktail wedding reception, we still had two tables reserved for our immediate family. I wanted to do something to designate just who these tables were […]
And Then We Were Married!
Holy heck, you guys! We are married! Our wedding took place on Wednesday, April 1st and everything went off without a hitch. I cannot tell you how much fun we had at the wedding. It was seriously the best. Everything was perfect and it all worked out exactly as we imagined. I couldn’t be […]
The Wedding Homestretch
In two days we will be walking down the aisle. It’s wild how quickly time passes. It was ten months ago that we got engaged and now it’s all happening. All of the planning and organising are going to come to fruition on April 1st and we couldn’t be more excited. It was early last […]
The (Fun!) Wedding Invitation + Save the Date Cards
Our wedding is very quickly approaching! Now that our guest list has been set and the RSVP’s are confirmed, I thought that it would be good to share what we sent to our people! All of our cards were designed by my awesome studio-mate Jim of NonStop Design and they were printed as 5×7 cards. We […]
The Cocktail Wedding Reception
I will preface this wedding-related blog post as I have been as of late by saying that what I am writing here is my personal opinion of wedding receptions. In no way am I judging any other couple who choose to do their wedding in a different manner. I am simply writing from my […]
The Wedding Meltdown
I do not often post about negative things because I prefer to focus on the positive ones but I like to also be honest and open about life and that should also be true to this blog. This past weekend it happened: I finally had a wedding meltdown. It was awful. I could not […]
The Wedding Guest List
Aww… the wedding guest list… another controversial topic when it comes to wedding planning. Full disclosure: since we are paying for the big bulk of our wedding on our own, we have full control over our wedding guest list. We also have laid-back parents who are not dictating who we invite which means, it’s […]
