Wedding Chores!

Our garage is FILLED with boxes full of mason jars and old vases from my grandma's house! We got A LOT of work to do cleaning windows, jars, vases, old furniture, etc. before the wedding! It's going to be CRAZY!

Wedding Invitations

The wedding is coming up REAL soon and, so far, the planning has been quite productive and FUN! Over Spring Break, John and I spent some time at my house in California and while we were there, we nailed down our venue and our photographer (matthewmorgan.net)...and ever since then, it seems like all of the other details have been falling in our laps! My mom has been a great help over these past two months. Since I am in Chicago, and she is the best at takin care of business, she has been talking to rental companies, caterers, going to garage sales, searching for amazing vintage finds from my grandma's house to online! Without her involved, this time of my life would be EXTREMELY stressful. With all that to say, I've been talking with Janice Myers (who will be doing our invitations!!), and we've been trying to figure out a hand drawn-looking floral design for our invitations. I've been giving her some ideas, and she has given some GREAT ideas back! Today I spent some time drawing what I think would look good at the bottom of our invitations. I would like some feedback, SO, let me know what you think about THIS look on an invitation!...I'm not gonna give you the full effect, so you can be surprised when you get one in the mail, but this is the idea that we may be goin for!


My fiancé. What a cutie!

Engagement: Brooke and Chad

I did an engagement shoot for the lovely couple, Brooke and Chad, about two weeks ago. The lighting was a bit hard to work with, and it was reaaaallll chilly, but we had some fun! Here are some pictures:
