A few weeks ago, I blogged about taking a breather. I wanted to make sure my priorities were for family and what's best for my business. During this process, I have done some re-vamping for my business and I needed a change. I think an important part of branding is frequent re-evaluation of what you already have. As your likes and dislikes continue to change, so will the look of your business. When I first started my business, I had a black template website by blu domain. I loved the site at the time, but as time passed, it just wasn't quite what I wanted. My next website was designed by Michael Thomson at Mynted. I LOVED my website but as time has progressed, so have my ideas on marketing and what I am trying to get across to my brides.
I took a step back, took a breather, and started re-evaluating where I want to grow to. For those of you that do not know what Showit is or have never tried it, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. I love Showit because it gives you the freedom to design the website YOURSELF and you can change it as OFTEN as you want! How awesome is that?! Well, I sat on my couch a few weeks ago and looked around at my decorations. I noticed that naturally, I'm drawn towards a certain type of "feel". Pottery Barn meets vintage. I drew out my ideas, brought together my brand, and did my best to bring together a website. It's DEFINITELY still in the "works," but for now, I'm satisfied. Having designed it myself, I'm proud!
I hope to encourage anyone who is looking for new inspiration to dig down deep into YOU and find your style. |
| Im NOT a designer... so try not to judge me too much :) I just pulled together what I love! |
Last spring, Stephen and I finally had a chance to meet a couple we booked through e-mail. I'm always hesitant about not being able to meet a couple in person, but I just knew through e-mail that Carrie was a beautiful gem. We finally met at their engagement session and immediately, we knew their wedding would be amazing. Carrie and Scott are the kind of people you feel like you've been friends with for years. Their genuine warm hearts are hard to find and we feel so HONORED to have been able to work with these two beautiful people.
The wedding day was quite and perfect. It seemed to fit Carrie and Scott's personalities and we couldn't have been happier to spend the afternoon with not only amazing clients, but extremely generous families. A special thanks to Carrie and Scott for your beautiful hearts and we cannot wait to watch what the Lord has in store for you! To see a slideshow of the rest of the day, click here. |
These past few months, we have felt SO honored to have graced three wedding blogs that we read weekly. I wanted to write this post to not only photographers but also to brides. To every photographer, make sure you submit your weddings to blogs. I cannot say enough good things about how great working with creative wedding blogs can be. It definitely helps bring new inspiration to your business, but it also gives your business a lot of exposure to new brides worldwide. To all the brides that read my blog , you MUST check out these amazing sites. These sites are just so amazing for creative wedding inspiration.
Being have been a bride myself, I searched these blogs in hope for inspiration and I left feeling overwhelmed with millions of awesome ideas to show my florist! So much fun! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

This past spring, I finally had an opportunity to hang out with Zack and Katie together as a couple at their engagement session. This couple is AMAZING in front of the camera. Do I need to say more!? We walked around downtown and chatted about the plans of the wedding day and what to expect as the day was soon approaching. Well, it FINALLY came and the day was perfect.
Last weekend, Zack and Katie finally tied the knot in beautiful Ventura at The Serra Cross Park. Katie was praying for sunshine but God blew in some fluffy white clouds to cool down the weather. Right as Katie was about to walk down the isle, the sun popped out and it was almost as if God was giving his blessing to this Zack and Katie. It was perfect.
We headed down to the beach for the bridal portraits. The beach, the weather, and of course Zack and Katie couldn't have been more stunning. Stephen and I felt honored to have been apart of this wedding ceremony and are excited to see what God will do in both Zack and Katie's lives in the future.
Zack and Katie, thank you for allowing us to be apart of your beautiful ceremony and marriage! To see a slideshow of the wedding day, please click HERE. |
Katie, you are beautiful.

| I love this photo of them as they are walking down the isle after being announced husband and wife! They are both simply glowing! |
| I just loved this little area with the sweet brown fence. It couldn't have been more perfect! |
| I felt it was perfect to end the post on this photo. :) A happy cheers! |
This past month, I hosted a free photography wedding giveaway on my blog. The rules were simple and the winner would be chosen based on the most deserving story. To be completely honest, everyone that entered the contest truly deserves a free wedding. I felt so honored to have read everyone's stories and almost felt as though I knew them as friends after I was done reading who they were. I wish I could help every couple but unfortunately I could only choose one.
After reading through each story numerous times, I just kept coming back to just one. Lauren and Brandon. Something about their story stuck closer to my heart than the others and I just knew I need to be a part of this wedding and their special story. Although I cannot share their story until their actual wedding next September, trust me when I say their story is beautiful and well deserving.
Congratulations Lauren and Brandon! I cannot wait to be a part of your wedding next fall in beautiful San Antonio. To every couple that entered this contest but was not chosen, THANK YOU for being a part of this contest and I truly wish I could have chosen all of you.
This is Lauren and Brandon. They sent in three photos of themselves and I just HAD to share this one. I just love it.
