Sneak Peak of the beautiful Hannah! More coming soon!

Lookie what I found while browsing my favorite website, Etsy. Pretty, huh? I think I might buy the ostrich feather cuff at the bottom – what do ya think?! If you love J.Dot Designs as much as I do then you can see the rest of their collection here.

I am sure everyone is back into the swing of things & I really hope you all had a fabulous break! I enjoyed my time off & ate way too many cookies, fudge, banana bread, candy, and anything/everything else completely unhealthy I could get my hands on! lol So my 2012 New Years goal? Just guess. Yes, it is to LOSE weight. I have some big plans on the horizon so I will need to look my best for sure! Nevermind all that for now. I wanted to celebrate my new blog launch with Matt & Ashton’s gorgeous wedding I shot at The Mayo Hotel in Tulsa, OK. I was so excited when they asked me to photograph it because Ashton & I have such similar taste that I knew it was going to be amazing! Let me start off by saying two words: Vintage Glamour. The whole event was filled with vintage details including a broach bouquet (my favorite by far!!), books, cigar boxes, mirrors, old family wedding pics, postcards, and much more. Matt looked dapper in his suit and call me weird but he seriously had the best hair day… it matched the occasion perfectly. Details people!  Ashton walked down the isle to “Dream” by Priscilla Ahn which even had me emotional. Instead of a candle ceremony the couple opt for a beautiful wine ceremony and had a family member play the guitar live during this. The reception was held in the crystal ballroom which had intricate crown molding, crystal chandeliers, and windows that overlooked the city. The guests danced the night away and I even joined the party at the end of it all! Congrats to the sweet couple! XO
