Okay, this is probably the most excited I have been in a LONG time! I have been on pins and needles since Sunday waiting for these photos. And, by the way, that was not long to wait…at all…because Elizabeth Ryan Photography did the most amazingly fast and awesome editing job!!! I could probably blab on and on about how wonderful and memorable Sunday’s {Love the Dress} session was for me, Tom and the kids, but really, just look at the photos…they tell the whole story. (Oh and my editorial comments that come with the photos below help too. Ha!) My eternal gratitude to Liz and Ryan for capturing everything…you rock…we “heart” you! Oh and be sure to check Elizabeth Ryan Photography’s blog today (this afternoon, probably) for their wrap up on the shoot, along with more photos — if we didn’t pick the same ones!
Beautiful flowers by Intrigue Design and Decor!
Holding our wedding photo from almost 10 years ago! Awh!
Love + snuggles + paper flowers = my version of heaven!
The wedding dress…10 years later…after losing 80 pounds to fit back in it again!
The “ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!” shot…amazing!!
The groom wore chucks…
The bride wore boots…
One is sweet and the other is seriously amazing!
The whole family!
That’s us…laughing…love…period.
Wow! That’s me?!?!?
Smolder much? (File this under: “things I don’t do on a daily basis”)
Alone…ahhh…well, not so much…
Love and love coming to get us!
The Renewal Date!!!
Time has been good to us!
There is so much more…but I have to stop somewhere. Besides, I need to sit here and look at these pictures a few hundred more times. And, just in case you didn’t get it from the photos above…even 10 years later…I still {Love the Dress}.

I was so excited when I received an email from Jeanne a few weeks ago. Why? Well, because she did what I always ask my clients to do….she took one of her invitations with her to the wedding and had her photographer do some “glam” shots of the invite. And, these photos are just so fun! Love! Thanks to Jeanne and Owen for sharing these wonderful shots of our invite design. Enjoy!

This invite has a long story attached to it and I finally think it is time to share! So, last year, this really energetic and upbeat couple came into to meet with me. Sandra and Dimitri were so fun and excited about their wedding. Since Dimitri owns a palm tree landscaping company, they wanted their invite, for their Kiawah Island wedding, to represent their favorite palm tree! How cute! So, I got to design my very first Bismarck palm.
**Here is the bismarck palm in real life…and my design further down.**
So, when Sandra came in to pick up her save the dates, Allie realized that Sandra is actually Sandra Shaw, meterologist on WBAL – TV 11 in Baltimore. Surprise! :) We had one of those “moments” in the studio. And, we were so honored that she picked us to design her wedding stationery.
Since their wedding, Sandra and Dimitri have moved to Florida and she is now working for a news station down there. We miss her sunny smile in Maryland, but her invitation is just as bright! Hope you enjoy this new pocket. And, remember, picking something special that represents you is a great way to make your wedding invite unique and special…and makes a great story too!

So, I’ve been waiting patiently for MONTHS to post this invitation! I wanted to wait until Kristin and Blake were married on June 4th in Hawaii. And, I’m glad to finally say that I can post this amazing invitation for all to see. When Kristin came to meet with me earlier this year, she brought a few inspiration pictures and lots of ideas. Color me happy! She fell in love with our caribbean blue “tiles” patterned cardstock and knew that it had to be a big part of the design. The other thing she wanted was me to design a vintage looking hibiscus for the invitation. Well, when these ideas all came together, the entire studio was in awe of this beauty! And, I could keep gushing, but I think I’ll just share the pics instead. So congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Bloomfield…hope the wedding in paradise was magical. Enjoy!
