Summer Blogosphere Series Part 10

For part 10 of our blog series, I wanted to share this post I came across on Wedding Bee. I just thought it was the cutest thing ever. Their blog is a fantastic resource for brides! It's great to see the thoughts and perspectives of brides just like you! And it's fun to read.



I know the first look makes everything easier on the photographer and other vendors (including us planners), but there is something so romantic about not seeing your significant other until you walk down the aisle on that day. I've always been very traditional in that sense.



All this being said, I am now in love with this idea of a non-first look. You get to hold your love's hand and talk to them without actually seeing each other. Just take a peek at these photos by Danny Boyle Photography and you will fall in love too.

Can I just say that I LOVE that song. So beautiful, thanks again Bobbi and Mike, we can't say enough good things! And thanks Shannon and David for letting us be a part of your awesometastic wedding!!

It's no secret that we love our clients - like seriously love our clients. If they weren't getting married, I'd marry most of them myself.

And Sam and Joe were no exception. They are sweet, and adorable and fun and sweet, and nice! I was literally the first person to cry when Sam got her gown on... I am a sap.
