Be the Change

be_the_change_jmu

A month ago, I had a pull on my heart to make plans for something I was unsure of … really, I had no plans and had NO idea what I was getting myself into. I remember receiving an email and thinking to myself, “I can’t do this … can I?”. But this “pull” really led me down a path I’m excited about! Slowly things started piecing together even up to the last day, today! Today is the big day that the proof of this project will come together for the first time! If you are a JMU student, Alumni, fan, whatever … I think you’ll be thrilled to see what my team and I have in store. 🙂

I have brought together an entire team of wedding vendors who all have one thing in common … they LOVE JMU! Not only do they love JMU, they are all JMU Alumni! From wedding coordinators to makeup artist to the cake designer to the florist to the stationery designer to the models … This styled shoot is bringing together a creative team of basically strangers, but the awesome thing is that because of JMU we are already a community. 🙂 I’m excited to share todays photos with you all!!!

JMU DUKEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
