A Classic Spring Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Is there anything sweeter than two people in love? The only thing sweeter, is two people in love on their wedding day. In every picture I have of Colleen and Ilya together, it’s like the outside world fades away. Ilya spent the entire day either staring lovingly or […]

Summer Arrives Early at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club I love Emily and Joe’s story. They didn’t meet on an app, they didn’t meet in a bar. Joe worked for Emily’s father, who told him that he had “a nice daughter.” The rest is history. I think “nice daughter” is an understatement. Emily is truly one […]

Married At Last, Again Building a relationship is hard work. Those early days of finding the right person to start life’s journey with. It’s hard work, but at some point in the relationship building process, the pieces just fall into place. Conversation comes easily, a foundation of trust is built and you share milestones together. […]

Caitlin and Matt love the fall, so planned their wedding for early November in hopes of getting as much fall foliage as possible. Their wedding last Friday did not disappoint! We started our day at Fiddler’s Elbow, where Caitlin and Matt got ready separately, so they could share their first look with each other as […]

Last year we celebrated with Jess and Kevin at their church wedding ceremony, and a small backyard wedding. It was beautiful! Somehow, Jess and Kevin have picked the most beautiful wedding days, because over one year later, they had the same gorgeous day, albeit a little more crisp fall air! While having to postpone one’s […]

A Timeless Fall Wedding at Fiddler’s As we prepared for Katie’s wedding last Saturday, she mentioned that she wanted a look of traditional elegance with a touch of fall, but not as though they were trying too hard. The elegant traditional wedding cannot be overdone of course, but the fall overtones can be! Katie wanted to […]

A Family Tradition Wedding Third time is a charm for Caroline and Jon! When deciding on their wedding, venue was the most important factor for Caroline and Jon. The venue would be Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club, where Caroline’s parent’s got married almost 40 years ago. At first, Caroline planned for a Christmas wedding. However, when […]

Big Big Plans Brian proposed the day after Tara‘s birthday by surprising her at home with pictures, flowers, and story cards from big events in their lives. On Friday, however, we celebrated the biggest event in their lives thus far, and it’s only the beginning! Perhaps I’ve spent too much editing time binge-watching Hallmark movies […]

A Wedding Somewhere In Time I love weddings that cast a timeless elegance across the day.  Achieving timeless elegance takes careful planning. Details should be decided with absolute discernment – nothing can intrude into the overall effect, or you end up losing that sense of permanency and grace that come together in the timelessly elegant wedding. […]

Third Time’s A Charm Katie and Garett have experienced the full intensity of wedding planning during a pandemic. After getting engaged in 2018, they planned a nice long engagement with hopes to marry in June 2020! However, 2020 had other plans, so like most couples they pivoted. And then they pivoted again. And then again. […]
