Kara & Mike’s Engagement Session | Annapolis, Maryland

I can honestly say that we have never featured a session with as much genuine laughter and honest happiness as Kara & Mike’s Engagement! Whenever Kara laughs at her hubby-to-be, you can’t help but smile! The talented husband and wife team, Liz & Ryan submitted this amazing session to us and we are so grateful! We’ll let the photography duo take it from here:

“Kara and Mike love to go on adventures together… especially when they involve Annapolis!  Not only is it the place where they got engaged, but it is also the place that they have shared many special moments together!… including the first time Mike met Kara’s parents and just happened to be standing in front of Zachary’s Jewelers !  One of the other things Kara and Mike just love to do is stroll through the streets and end their perfect date with Storm Bros. Ice Cream by the water! It was so fun to be able to include this in an engagement session that was truly them!”

We are in LOVE with this couple! Enjoy!

Hi Friends! I’m so excited to share this very special …near and dear to my heart… Baby Shower for my niece Sydnee Rimes! Perfect last name for a Nursery “RIMES” Baby Shower. Our family just loves the Four Seasons Los Angeles and it was the perfect place to celebrate. Ellen designed the nursery block invitations all housed in a printed muslin bag. The colorful lanterns hand painted with nursery rhymes hung over the guests. Mark out did himself on the centerpieces…I loved the Patty Cake Patty Cake table especially how he “marked it with a B”. Hickory Dickory Dock and Mary Had a Little Lamb …Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater…Hey Diddle Diddle the Cat and the Fiddle…Lots of color and precious nursery favorite chocolates and Syd’s favorite balloon artist for the guests to enjoy. The food from the Four Seasons was truly all everyone’s favorites! A salad bar with everything possible  a grill cheese sandwich bar, sliders and fries but the one thing that got them all sugared up was our fun dessert buffet…I blew up the designs Ellen used on the invite and placed them in vintage frames…mixed with some cut outs from Etsy and vintage fabric…and of course delicious desserts and custom made labels with baby pics of the mom and dad. The incredible”Labor Day” cake and some goodies by the Cake Divas. Sydnee loves Disney but I got her away from it for the day…but when you see the nursery I helped her with well Minnie did make her way in there :) Enjoy! Auntie Min

Bar Harbor, Maine | Honeymoon Destination

Bar Harbor, Maine | Honeymoon Destination Bar Harbor, ME is a truly majestic honeymoon choice for anyone who loves the rugged wilderness of Maine or for anyone attracted to charming New England towns. Set along the rocky and jagged coast of Frenchman Bay, it offers fantastic views of the deep blue ocean water as well as the dark green evergreen forests that are synonymous with this region. Wake up every morning in Bar Harbor and breathe deeply, you can’t find fresher air anywhere else!

Acadia National Park is obviously a major focal point for many who visit Mount Desert Island. But you don’t have to be super outdoorsy to experience everything this town has to offer. There are many shops and restaurants located in Bar Harbor’s downtown district. Swing on by the Lompoc Cafe for an all natural menu (a highlight is their Fish and Lobster Chowder) and live music every Friday and Saturday night. Pick up some souvenirs for friends and family at Cool As A Moose gift shop on Main Street. Craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth? Mount Desert Island has it’s own creamery located right downtown in Bar Harbor. Want to learn more about the islands expansive history and connections to the Native Americans? The newly expanded Abbe Museum shares the history and culture of Maine’s native people. With so many sights to see there is little time for boredom in Bar Harbor.

Since visiting Maine for the first time last summer, I have constantly been looking for an excuse to go back. The way of life is just simpler there, in all the best ways. Such an emphasis is put on natural living and appreciating the beautiful, rustic, coastal surroundings. It is the most lovely and adorable example of a New England town. Lobster pots and sailboats line the harbors. Moss grows on all surfaces. Early morning fog rolls away to fresh air and bright sunshine. Bar Harbor is a picturesque town set amongst the wild and uncultivated backdrop of Acadian forest. Visitors leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated – the perfect way to start a newly joined life together!

Arizona Wedding Welcome Brochure

Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing my most recent design, a welcome brochure for the (now) newly married Jerica and Christopher. The couple just got married earlier this month on October 6th in Phoenix, Arizona, and Jerica wanted a brochure that used a similar color palette to the Arizona state flag. I thought it would be tough to pull off at first, but I quickly went for one of my favorite design themes - STRIPES! Jerica loved the concept just as much as I did, and we were quickly off running! Here's how it turned out.

I was so happy to have the opportunity to work with Jerica, and I wish her and her new husband a beautiful new life together!


I would love the chance to create your welcome packet, brochure, letter, booklet, or whatever you may need for your destination (or local) wedding!

Wedding Vows You’ve Never Heard

Well, there is an old saying that marriage is the tomb of love, but have you ever think about that if there is no marriage where to put your love? When two persons love each so much and they have decided to live together for the rest of their life. Why not get married? There are many touching wedding vows that make you and me feel shocked. We think why love is so beautiful. Here is a collection of great wedding vows that you might not head before and they are different from that you have heard before. In the name of God…

“‘If marriage is sure to result in victory, then you must marry!’ Sun Tzu said that, and I’d say he knows a little bit more about marriage than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of engagement.
Then, he used his gift money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat and then he beat the crap out of every single one.
And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it’s called a ‘wedding’!

I Vow…

  • to kill all the spiders
  • to never speak of important topics before 10 am or until you had your black coffee
  • to bake extra cookies for you during winter
  • to remember your favorite food is hot wings with fried veggies
  • to accept that you refuse to use condiments of any kind
  • to remind you I love you at all times, especially when we argue
  • to remember to let you win at wii dance games every now and then
  • to remember all important dates (birthday and anniversaries)
  • to keep our anniversaries gift free
  • to follow where you lead and to lead when you cannot
  • to be brave when you cannot be
  • to hold your hand when you need me
  • to listen, even when you are saying nothing at all

Lucas: “Peyton, I’ve loved you sincethe first time i saw you. And this ring and these words are just simply a way to show the rest of the world what has been in my heart for as long as I’ve known you. I love you, Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. I always have and I always will.”

Peyton: “Lucas Scott… We’ve been through so much together. And despite how confused I’ve been or lost I might have gotten there was always you. Finding me and saving me. You deserve to be adored so that’s what we’re gonna do, your baby and me. We are going to adore you for years to come. I am so terribly in love with you. And I always will be.”

Wedding Vows You’ve Never Heard

“With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.”Wedding Vows You’ve Never Heard

Wish lovers all around the world live happily ever after.

Chesapeake Bay Beach Club | Krista A. Jones Photography

Oh Happy Day! This coral wedding is sure to leave you swooning! With gorgeous details, a stunning bride, and a very handsome groom – What’s not to love! The talented Krista A. Jones Photography captured the day at one of our favorite local venues, the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club ! We’ll let Krista take it from here:

“At the hottest part of the day, it was 103 degrees and with the heat index, it was even hotter. But in spite of the heat, Chelsea and Alex’s wedding day was absolutely perfect. Colorful ribbons blew from the alter, mason jars filled with flowers lined the aisle, guests fanned themselves with cute programs designed by Chelsea (she’s a graphic designer) and colorful chevron patterns mingled with mason jars and hydrangeas on the tables.”

Love, love, love!
