SARAH + DANIEL - State Botanical Garden Wedding

This first photo pretty much sums up how I felt watching Sarah & Daniel on their wedding day. They have SO much fun together and couldn't WAIT to be married! You could tell even more when they dance together. : )

Sarah's attention to detail for the wedding was incredible. And I adored her style. I'm so honored to have been a part of their day, and I wish nothing but "lovely love stories" for Daniel & Sarah's future together! ; )

Sarah's "something borrowed AND something blue," which she wrapped around her bouquet stems, belonged to her father as a baby!

So glam.

Excerpts from A Lovely Love Story were read during their ceremony. ["Together they stand on the hill, telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs. And that, my friends, is how it is with love." --Edward Monkton] So presh!

Sarah made these purses for her bridesmaids! Can I get a tutorial please? ; )

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia's Day Chapel is so beautiful...

The cake was awesome!

YES... that's right... it's a chest bump! LOVE it.

This was my first "ribbon wand" exit... and I love that someone is tapping Sarah's booty during the send-off. : ) Congrats you two!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My favorite things about the holidays are having some relaxation time with my fiance and our pups and being able to see everyone that I love. AND I'm not gonna lie... the food. ; )  Whatever and wherever you may be celebrating, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

SADIE!

If I'm running behind in the virtual world over the next week or so... this is why:

This little ball of energy's name is Sadie! She is an 11-week-old Malticon (Maltese/Bichon mix). Ryan and I decided to adopt a rescue pup last weekend so that Bella can have a playmate. We adopted her from the East Coast Humane Society on Sunday, and I was able to snap this quick cell phone photo right after a nap today. : )

LAURA + JEFF - Bryn Mawr Wedding (Part I of II)

Laura & Jeff's rehearsal dinner was held at an Italian restaurant in Center City, Philadelphia called Le Castagne Ristorante. Because I also attended this event as a guest (the food was oh-so-DIVINE), I mainly photographed the before-dinner mingling and the toasts throughout the course of the dinner. I had such a great time and was deeply touched by all the family members' kind words about the couple. So many hugs and so much love permeated the room that night. They really are an outstanding pair! Wedding day photos are coming SOON! : )

TEASERS + MINI-VACAY

Since I've been a workaholic for the past few months (been very grateful for the business!), I decided it was time to take a little vacation. Everyone needs to take time to relax and recharge; it's good for your soul...and your sanity. So, I'm heading to the beach to visit with family and friends for a few days, aaaaand I'm so excited about it! In the in-between time, here are a few teasers from pending blog posts...
