Cardinal Fever in Boston

How cool is this? Our Clients from this past weekend stopped by Busch Stadium for wedding day photos and a photographer from the Boton Globe snapped a photo of them. True to his promise, Caitlin and Matt made it the paper showing their Cardinal Love! Congratulations Caitlin and Matt!

Leslie + Anthony

Every once in a while you work with a couple that just reminds you of home. For me it was this couple. I knew it the minute I met with them that we would become friends. As it turns out, we both grew up in a small town near each other. That gave us an instant connection. I always get a smile when I see a 618 number calling. There is something special about these two.  Many happy wishes Leslie and Anthony!

 PS  No more nose bleeds Leslie!

Emily + Daniel

I am so in love with this wedding that we helped create.  There were so many amazing vendors that took part. I will post about them in a bit, but until then, here is a link to the video highlight from A Love Story Productions

Embracing Two Cultures

We love how Jen and Ashok each embraced each other religions at both of their ceremonies. All photos were taken by L Photographie.

These beautiful programs designed by M Haley Design served as the the Hindu program and when flipped over served as the program for the Christian ceremony too.

Two elephants with their trunks up mean  good luck for the couple.

This beautiful Mandup was designed and created by Exclusive Events

Umm, he was supposed to SPRINKLE rice...not dump rince

We wanted to create a beautiful backdrop for the entrance of the wedding party. Structure and fabric draping by Exclusive Events and flowers by Artistry Florist

We removed the Mandup and replaced it with hanging orchids, strands of crystals and hanging glass candle holders. All created by Exclusive Events

Beautiful bouquet by Artistry Florist

We flipped the room in an hour and a half to create an entirely different feel for the Christian ceremony

Do you know someone getting engaged?

 

Tomorrow is Valentines Day! Are you prepared to propose?

I got a brother-in-law!

So, I have known this beautiful woman for about 21 years (which seems impossible). When I first met her she was about 9 years old. She had long curly blond hair and was the most inquisitive little girl I had ever met. I dated her brother when I was in college. She lived about 2 and a half hours away and had come to visit with her grandparents. I wanted her to have fun so I picked her up and took her to the lake. She asked me all about boys and I had NO idea what to tell her. I was only 18 myself and knew nothing about boys...at least nothing that I wanted to share with an impressionable 9 year old.

That little girl grew up to be a beautiful, smart, and sweet woman that I am proud to call my sister-in-law. In September she got married. I was sad that I couldn't be there, but by the size of her smile, I know it was the first of many "happiest days of her life"

Congratulations to my sister and borther-in-law on your beautiful wedding in the Domincan  and your beautiful marriage.  Welcome to the family Kevin!

The happy couple
