Pumpkin Patch Fun!

My friend Veronica came to town and brought her husband and adorable daughter Hailey. We went to Eckerts, which is a local orchard and pumpkin patch. What a way to spend a beautiful fall day!

My first photo shoot!

All aspects of weddings interest me, including photography. And, I've been wanting to get into photography for awhile now. So, for my 25th birthday my amazing boyfriend bought me my very first SLR camera! And here are the results of my first "photo shoot!"









Not bad for my first time photographing, right?! Next shoot I will try adding people in the mix!

"Guestbook" Ideas...


Today I was trying to think of some creative guestbook ideas that I've seen. I love the photo booth guestbook, but I was trying to think of something new and original. My cousin got married in Cleveland and had a book of images from around Ohio and had everyone pick their favorite picture out and write something next to it. That was different.

I was thinking about things that I love, and I love cookbooks. I collect them as compulsively as I collect bridal magazines. Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be cute to have each couple/family write their favorite family recipe down on recipe cards?" Then you could have your first guestbook/cookbook and have all kinds of new recipes to cook together! What do you think- yes or no?

Easter basket help!

So, this will be my first Easter with my boyfriend's son, Aaron. I haven't celebrated Easter in like, 10 years. I want his Easter basket to be awesome, so I'm asking you for your help... what kind of cute things do you put in your Easter baskets??? I'm sure things have changed in the last 10 years- I got candy and kites- kind of boring now. Do you have any theme baskets or any cool toy ideas??? I wanna know!

Scrapbooking...

So I've started my very first scrapbook. I can see why everyone likes it. It's addicting! (But expensive!)

Since I'm a scrapbooking virgin, does anyone have any tips or ideas for me? I have all these supplies, but I'm freaking out that it won't come out how I want it to!!!

It's been too long!

Well, it's been a long time! Wedding season consumed my life, but it was a great one! We had some beautiful weddings! Here are some photo highlights of the year:
















I am also very happy to announce that I have officially began my CWP classes. Finally took the leap of faith and started in. Hopefully by the end of the month I will be an official Certified Wedding Planner!

Two of my friends got engaged at the first of the year, so congratulations to my first two 2010 brides: Lindsey and Laura! Tommy and Nick are very lucky men!

I will try to update more often now, and if you have anything you would like advice on or would like me to talk about, feel free to leave a comment!
