You probably have 12 cousins, 2 aunts, 5 uncles, and 400 friends who are photographers. Everywhere you look you can find someone with a camera trying to make a little money. But here’s the thing—just because everyone you know is a photographer, doesn’t mean they’re all good photographers or even worth paying for. […]

(But things are way different in the northern part of the country. I hear photographers in the north all the time saying they wished brides up […]

It was two nights before my wedding when I finally sent my DJ a playlist of songs I wanted. (He hated me, I’m sure.) IT WAS SO HARD TO DECIDE. I picked out the perfect song for when I walked down the aisle (one Tyler liked also), but other than that, I had no clue […]

I decided to design my own wedding invitations. I figured it would be cheaper, and would ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. In the end, I was happy with them, but MAN was that a stressful thing to take on while I was graduating from college, planning a wedding, buying a house, and […]
