Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

I hope you had a great and relaxing weekend! Can you believe we are in the last month of 2016?! Where did this year go?? Let’s not dwell too much on this idea and instead, talk about Christmas coming up!!! YAY! I just finished decorating my home over the past week and not sure I want to take it down in January. 😉 Ha! Love the excuse of twinkle lights all throughout the house, although, not sure what my electricity bill will be like. Yikes! This season is expensive!!! Speaking of which, I shopped for most of my Christmas gifts yesterday and I was reminded it’s important to set budgets for every person because it’s so easy to go overboard! If you are looking for inspiration for anyone in your life, check out Uncommon Goods! I gathered many ideas from them. 🙂

Saturday was my last wedding of the 2016 year! Cannot believe it!!! After photographing 32 incredible weddings, I’m thankful for everyone who supported my business this year. Even though the year is wrapping up and things are starting to slow down on my calendar doesn’t mean that things are slowing down behind the computer. I was surprised when I made a list of things to do before the end of the year, how much was on my plate! Time to get into the groove of things and check tasks off my list. 🙂 For now, enjoy this sneak peek from my last wedding of the year!! So merry and cheerful! <3 Love these two!
