from those to these…
A few months ago, Alexis, one of my sweet brides — sent me this big box of clothes. She included a detailed note with the ditty bags she had designed for her friends and family. Using her ties, dresses, pants, shirts and skirt I snipped and pinned (then sewed!) her bags together. Here are a few of the finished products!














Here is Julie & Coley’s wedding montage from this summer!
As you can tell — a good time was had by all!
Liz & Matt’s Wedding video is here!

I saw this message while on a walk in Manhattan Beach last month. It’s a good one…
Liz & Matt’s Montalto Rehearsal Dinner
Here are a few photos from Liz and Matt’s Rehearsal Dinner at Montalto. It was quite an evening and I was thrilled to be a part of it!
Montalto is the mountaintop just above Montciello, Jefferson referred to it as the “high mountain” while Monticello rested on his “little mountain”. As you drive up to the house you find yourself looking down onto Jefferson’s house and the land surrounding Monticello— it’s absolutely spectacular. So to do an event on the top was very much an honor. Not only are the views of Charlottesville breathtaking, but the house lent itself as an intimate setting for a night of celebration with great food, friends, family and plenty of toasts to go around.
They teamed their rehearsal dinner at Montalto with their wedding ceremony & reception at Castle Hill Barn — It was truly a Virginia experience.
Special thanks to Beehive Events for the stunning decor, the Rock Barn for the yummy eats, and Eric Kelley for these photographs.

i found this in my inbox! definitely worth sharing!

Happy 2012!
Today I heard a wedding officiant describe why he loves being a part of wedding ceremonies and why your vows should be personal and full of meaning… and it resonated with me.
“Love is the most important thing we get to run after in life”
It’s true, isn’t it? If you don’t have love, what do you have?

love birds!
I am working with Peter & Cheryl to plan their wedding this spring just outside of Charlottesville. They met up with Sarah Cramer to take their engagement pictures last weekend… How sweet are they?
Engagement pictures are definitely a fun trend. Not only do you get some great shots of you and your sweetie — you get comfortable in front of the camera so it’s not such a worry on your wedding day! Sarah is the queen of e-sessions… click below to check out her blog. It’s full of inspiring pictures of life & love.
{Special thanks to Cramer Photo for these beautiful shots, and to Stonegate Event Rentals for the Props!}
