Hello There

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but over the past two weeks I have been living and breathing all things bridal show in preparation for last night. It was a success! Met lots of amazing couples, we can't wait to see what happens :-)

This Weekend...

This weekend was non-stop and filled with special moments that I was so happy to be a part of. On Saturday we photographed this amazing couple on their wedding day...

We grew so fond of them over the past year that we were soooo happy to see them tie the knot. On Sunday my sister went to see our one month old baby cousin and snapped this photo of her cute little baby toes...

And each morning I wake up, give my husband a big kiss and spend the quiet moments before the day begins snuggling with this lovely little pup...

He's become quite accustomed to lounging on the bed...

that's ok though, waking up to that little nose makes my day. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend lovelies!

This Weekend...

Good morning! I  hope you had a wonderful long weekend!

On Friday we drove down to Key West to elope with one of our awesome couples! They were originally planning to tie the knot in November, then a few weeks ago I received a phone call from the bride saying that they decided to elope to Key West with just their parents and siblings. Best part is, they asked us to go with them and photograph the whole thing! The weekend was a blast, especially seeing two people in love say "I Do!", I never tire of it. Here's a sneak peek video that we put together from the weekend...

We were home the next afternoon and spent the rest of the weekend lounging around the house and enjoying BBQ with the family. All-in-all it was a pretty awesome weekend!

This Weekend...

The bridal show was a huge success! We met with so many brides that my head is still spinning, but it was awesome. I had never experienced anything like it before and it was so amazing to hear positive feedback about our work from the brides that visited our booth. 

We showed up bright and early to start setting up and I'm glad we did because those tulle garlands were not in the mood to be hung that morning...

If you can believe it, all of that stuff managed to fit under the skirted tables once the show began. Tammy and I ran to the ladies room for a quick wardrobe change before they let the brides in and it was show time!

My sister volunteered me to be interviewed by the staff at The Great Bridal Expo. Turns out speaking directly into a camera is waaaay more nerve racking than facing a crowd of brides...

Overall, we had a great time meeting all of these amazing couples who had so many creative visions for their wedding photography. The whole day was spent having conversations with them about their wedding day, their plans, and how they met. On a side note, we were right next to the Stella & Dot booth! I couldn't help but wander over every now and then to play with all of the jewelry. I especially loved this necklace, it was amazing in person. Ok, back to the show.

I'd just like to give a special shout out to my hubs who stuck around the entire day bringing us water and snacks whenever there was a break in the crowd. He was awesome and looked like our "head of security" standing there by the booth greeting the couples as they stopped by to see us...

Seriously, what is up with my posture in that photo? I can hear my grandmother yelling at me to stand up straight.

The Show is Here!

Happy Friday everyone!

The weekend of the bridal show has finally arrived! As you can imagine, I feel nuts and am running on lots of caffeine. Today I have to pick up a few things and tonight we're going to attempt to put the final booth together in my garage, thanks to the lovely taped outline on the floor made by my husband (he thinks of everything). Hopefully everything will fit and look the way I envisioned it in my head! I'm especially looking forward to seeing the tulle garlands I've been making all week up in the space. They'll sort of look like this:

Except with tulle in a light pink, grey, and white. We figured it would add a bit of whimsy to the booth, I'm hoping it looks pretty against that boring black draping that the booth is made out of. I know most people aren't a fan of balloons at these type of things, but I bought some of these in white...

I couldn't help myself! I love the look these round balloons so much and when the brides are looking for our booth these babies will be signaling our location ;-)

Have a wonderful weekend, I'll make sure to take some photos during the show so that you can see how everything turned out. On another note, I'm loving this post on Not Without Salt where she made her own sea salt using water from her local beach, so cool!

Here's to a stressed weekend...

Happy Friday lovelies!

I'm so sorry for the lack of posting this week. It has been an insanely busy week because next weekend my sister and I are going to be exhibiting here:

Yes, we're are taking our little photography business and putting it out there for 800-1,000 stressed brides to see! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. We want our booth to look the best it possibly can, which has not been easy considering we don't have any actual "walls" to work with. So this week I went to Home Depot and with the help of one of their awesome employees (thank you Enoch!) I literally constructed something to hang photos from in the middle of the aisle. My house is a mess and I have to-do lists everywhere because I'm am scared that I'm going to forget something important the day-of. Next week is crunch week and everything needs to be finished. 

Wish us lots of bridal show happy dust! We're going to need it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Friday...

Happy Friday everyone!

This is one of the shots from a prom inspired photo shoot my sister and I did two weeks ago, I think it's so adorable. She was such a sweetie and laughed at every corny joke my sister and I made...trust me, there were a lot of corny jokes. That's how we roll. The blog post with more photos from the shoot will be up later this afternoon, so if you're feeling like going to the prom today, head on over!

This weekend the hubs and I are looking forward to spending some quality time at home after all the traveling and house guests we've had the past couple of weekends. Plus, we're looking forward to spending some time with Brandy Beans! Perhaps we'll take her to the beach and see how this country dog likes the sand.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday!

Today I'm over at the Rubber Boots Photography blog showing photos from a fun family portrait session we did a few weeks ago...

I loved the little polka dot dress their littlest one was wearing, so cute! Shooting with kids is so much fun, especially when they love having thier picture taken.

Head on over to see some photos from our other projects too!
