What’s your take on wedding ceremony music?  There are SO many options and ideas out there… Should ceremony music be traditional hymns? Should prerecorded instrumental music be incorporate? Should the music be “live” with an organist, pianist, or acoustic guitar playing? Personally, I love when couples choose ceremony music that is personal to them… Maybe […]

Happy Wednesday! This week’s topic is short, sweet, and to the point! We’re talking wedding day “gift-giving”! I love this simple gesture on wedding days as gifts are delivered by bridal party members to the bride and groom individually while getting ready. I’ve seen necklaces, earrings, additional wedding bands, honeymoon excursions, sweet notes, and MORE […]

Do you remember Brittany and Luke’s wedding day? Well, the wedding I’m sharing today may have a few familiar faces between the bride, groom, and family and friends in the bridal party! Last summer, I met Logan and Josiah through Brittany and Luke. Josiah and Luke are brothers – both proposed to the girls together […]

As a natural light on-location photographer, I am constantly looking for light. Sources of light, harshness of light, types of light… Light!  So, when it comes to a wedding day getting ready space, I always recommend to my couples that they choose a getting ready location that offers a clean slate and lot of yummy […]

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Let’s talk jewelry… Like I’ve written before, I truly love how each bride is unique in choosing specific details for her wedding day, and I always find myself swooning over wedding day details, especially jewelry! Brides can go in so many directions with wedding day jewelry – classic, modern, bold, delicate, and MORE! […]

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… We’ve all probably heard this wedding day saying that signifies good luck! So, do you have your something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue details planned? I love preparing brides for their wedding days and requesting that their special details (dress, veil, shoes, jewelry, gifts, […]
