Big new purchase!

I am so excited today, I just went and bought a new Mac.  I love my lap top, but I was ready for a big desktop, and big I got, it has a 27inch screen!!  I can't wait to look at pictures on that screen!!  Here it is!!!

A Fall Wedding Inspiation Shoot

I gave you a couple sneak peaks last week, as well as our inspiration board, and now here are the pictures!  I am so happy how they all turned out.  Hillary Maybery and I had talked forever about doing a shoot like this, and finally our schedules worked out.   We were so lucky to have newly weds Stephanie and Zac act as our models, and Zac was such a sport!  In addition we collaborated with a few other local vendors that made this shoot happen.  I have featured a few cakes on this blog by Amy Anderson, but this is the first pictures I have gotten of her fantastic wedding cakes.  Also my mother Terry, who owns Bellissimo was nice enough to not only let us take items out of her store but come and help style the shoot. Jamilynn from Vertu did Stephanie's hair and make up, Suzy, owner of Deja Vu, allowed us to take out the fox stole as well as vintage jewelry, and finally Max Monahan captured it all on film.

As for my part, I of course did the flowers, and I was so excited to get lucky and get peonies for the pictures.  Its a rare thing to see this time of year, but with all the other fall flowers they looked great.  I loved doing this photos shoot and Hillary and I have decided to do more, so if you have a great idea for a shoot let me know and maybe we will turn it into reality!  And as always, thanks everyone for all the help it turned out better then I could have imagined.

Just the begining....

Didn't I tell you the pictures from our photo shoot were amazing!?!  Get the first look on Hillary Maybery's website and then next week I will have even more pictures of the shoot.

Hell of a Dress

I love these pre-wedding shots from WedLuxe.  I had put this dress of Monique Lhuillier up earlier this year as one of my favorites, but I love to see it on an actual bride.  Check out the WedLuxe web site to see all the pictures from this wedding it was gorgeous!

Sneak Peak: Wedding Photo Shoot

Our photo shoot the other day when so well, and our bride and groom, Stephanie and Zack were so unbelievable.  Hillary is busy editing the hundreds of pictures we took, and we can't wait to show off our photo shoot next week.  But for now here is a quick peak as the behind the scenes set up.

 Hillary and Max very hard at work!  And Jamie Lynn in the background doing an excellent job of "creating the sunset" as Hillary would say.

 Yes that is my mothers dog, Grace,  standing on the table while Hillary tries to shoot details.

Election Day!

Please remember to get out and vote today, it is the most important thing you can do all day!!   Just imagine where we would be in politics and fashion today if people never voted for this President and his First Lady......

Inspiration Board #29: Wedding Photo Shoot
