There was an overwhelming number of applicants. So many that 42 states and 15 countries were represented.
It really was such a tough decision with so many wonderful, inspiring, heart-warming applications. As I read through each submission, there were common themes throughout of what you were desiring to get out of the course:
Read MoreWe love the opportunity to travel with our clients. One of our brides wanted her bridal portraits to stand out from the normal environments that she was used to seeing with other brides. After brainstorming with photographer, Heather Payne, we came to the conclusion of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. The mix of Spanish settings and European architecture paired with the peach and golden toned floral provided for an unforgettable afternoon in such a stunning space.

It was the perfect summer road trip!
I hope you enjoy watching this video and traveling along with us to Dallas.
Read MoreThis was a special wedding for us, not only because we fell in love with the bride, her family, and her fiancé, but we also were the first ones to produce a wedding in their brand new, gorgeous venue. The truth is, there aren’t just a ton of great venue options in Conway, AR, but my clients didn’t let that stop them. They took matters into their own hands and built a gorgeous space.

Thankfully, visualizing a space has always come easily to me. Bailey, the bride wanted an all white wedding, but she had already chosen blue bridesmaid dresses.

The bride would walk down the outdoor path to a beautiful floral covered arch that overlooked the Arkansas River Valley. My team and I had worked on this wedding for a year and the day was finally here and all of our hard work was about to pay off in one of the most gorgeous ceremonies I’d ever seen.
Except around 3:30pm, Danae (our lead coordinator) came up to me and said, “I need you to nail down a rain plan. I’ll be back in 30 minutes.”
