Wedding receptions can be so insanely fun! From the dancing to tossing bouquets to sparkler exits! But what a lot of people don’t realize is that in order to keep the party moving along (and get all the shots you want) you need to create a timeline of events and stick to it! I’m going […]

Ok so you just got engaged (yay!) and you want to announce it with some beautiful engagement photos! But now you’ve got the whole planning part to do. What should you wear? Where should you go? Well in this post, I wanted to give you some beautiful locations I’ve used in the past for my […]
Doing a First Look can be a bit controversial to some. If you don’t know, a first look is when the bride and groom decide to see each other before the ceremony. It’s honestly an amazing thing!
