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. […]

2020 Weddings Everyone has a story, but man do these couples have a story to tell! The adventure called “Getting married in 2020.” Each wedding is it’s own story, and not a single one is quite like the other. These couples pioneered their way through the unknown and married the loves of their lives. One […]

Love, Light & Laughter filled Wedding Day I met Alison and Jonathan for the first time only a few short weeks ago! I knew I loved them from the moment I recommended a sunrise engagement session for the amazing light, and they said yes without any hesitation! Not only did they arrive cheerfully on that […]

A Woohoo Wedding Day Danielle and Nick are married! This seems a bit of a shock only because when I first spoke with Danielle back in 2017, her wedding day seemed so far away! She was my first booking for 2019, and somehow the day has already come and gone! It sure left it’s mark […]

ivory wedding details and pearls for this classic bride wedding at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club Spring wedding

Love & Marriage Love and marriage…go together like a horse and carriage. Yes, I’ve been singing this classic Frank Sinatra song over and over, ever since writing this title. However annoying that has been, I feel like it is definitely an appropriate title for Carolyn and Taylor’s wedding blog post. Why? Carolyn and Taylor’s reverend […]

2018 Weddings Revisited I get as emotional thinking about 2018, as I was at each of 2018’s weddings! I think last year was my first year offering complimentary engagement sessions, and the relationships I built with my couples because of it made each event so much more meaningful! There was something so unique about each […]

A Summer Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Sometimes we don’t get a chance to do an engagement session, whether it’s because of lack of time or distance. I think Rebecca and David fell into both of those categories, but I was so thrilled that we at least got to meet over coffee in the spring. I […]

I couldn’t have imagined any other way to end my 2017 weddings than with Krista and Brian’s intimate wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster.  I first met them at a coffee shop in Summit, and we discussed all of the details of their wedding from location to lighting.  After our initial meeting, Brian […]
