Brady and Sara were miracle workers in the weather department on the day of their wedding. Easily one of the most fun and laid back couples that I have had the pleasure of working with. It rained for a majority of the day, but the sun managed to make an appearance just in time for […]
Alex & Max
A few weeks ago, we had a mad rush to get everything done at our ceremony site for our first wedding ceremony of the year. Thankfully, Melissa, from Gorman House Photo shared all of her photos with me. Melissa from Gorman House was fabulous to work with. She had two second shooters, so Alex and […]
Perfect Pergola
We have had a count down for two years to prepare for our new ceremony site. The stage of the pergola had been built, so it was time to get our stain on! The trouble with April and May was that it rained. A lot. I’m not complaining about the rain because we have gone without […]
Outdoor Ceremony Site Staging
It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like it will be ready for this coming weekend when we host our first outdoor ceremony for the year. Building this new site has been a nearly two year long process. It all started with a drought which made it feasible to build a peninsula. Last […]

Days of our Ceremony Site Episode #5: We Have Grass!
I’m sure you have all been on the edge of your seat wondering how the new ceremony site is coming along. When we last left our ceremony site, we had decided to install irrigation and speaker wire, then we seeded the site and crossed our fingers. The soil has caused us fits all year, so […]
Fancy Seeding You Here!
