Talk about a CLOSE call! All day, we prayed for no rain when it mattered. It’s okay if it had to rain in the morning … just as long as we are able to have the outdoor activities taken care of at the gorgeous Morais Vineyard. 😉 I was setting up for the ceremony when I […]

Things are starting to slow down on my wedding calendar. I cannot imagine what I am going to do with all of my time in July! I took the month off of weddings in hopes to travel and go to the beach, but we will see!! I definitely wouldn’t trade this busy time for anything. I […]

Let me just start off with saying that I adore Phil and Allie together! Their wedding day really was a magical from start to finish.

Tyler and Kimberly are truly best friends. In fact, they have known each other since they were kids! Basically dating their entire lives and FINALLLYYYYYY they got married last Thursday!
