  • Do you wear white after Labor Day?

    I decided to write about this little tradition simply because well, its Labor Day. Growing up in Virginia, you just did NOT wear white after Labor Day. It was a fashion don’t. Interesting enough, living in Florida- the rules are different. Its sunny all year around, so why not wear white. It doesnt really apply living there in my opinion since it is sunny but thats just my opinion. So maybe it just depends on where you live…but who really should tell you what you can and cant wear?

    If you would like to see where the no white after Labor day rule came from. Check out this link below:

  • Brandon + Laura {Montpelier Center, VA} Virginia Wedding Photographer

    Brandon and Laura’s Wedding ceremony took place July 30th in the small town of Ashland, VA at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The reception took place in Montpelier at the Montpelier Center.

    It was a beautiful day. A little humid but it allowed us some time to go out for a short time to get some beautiful pictures of Brandon & Laura at a little white house on the property of the Montpelier Center. The wedding was beautiful and the dance floor had plenty of friends and family dancing the day away.

    Congratulations you two!

  • Downtown Richmond Area

    A few days ago, I went to downtown Richmond with Chris to check out some Richmond favorite local spots. Among them were Canal Street, Cary Street and Pipeline, which is all adjacent to the James River. We spent a few hours roaming around the area. Chris was kind enough and VERY willing to do a little “modeling” for me. You could even say, he was even a little excited about his big debute. 🙂

    The camera was turned on me for a little bit while he tried his hand at photography. He loved his pictures and I have to admit, he got some unique shots! We even managed to get some photos together. It took some time running back and forth before the timer went off, but even so, it was a lot of fun.

    There were a bunch of people around enjoying their day in the sun. I will share those pictures as well as more of the surrounding area in another blog on another day.

    As always, thank you for following my blog. We hope to venture out to more areas later this week, so check back for more on the local area of Richmond!

  • Baby/ Newborn Props from Etsy!

    I LOVE ETSY! I don’t know how many times I could possibly say it but so many of the Etsy Vendors have beautiful pieces. I really wish I could afford ALL of them but these are some of my favorites I’ve come across and added to my “Wish” list.

  • Picking Your Wedding Palette

    As a little girls, usually you can picture your wedding, the colors, the people, the dress. What did you see when you were a little girl? What do you see now? One of the very first things you will do as a bride, is choose your wedding colors. There are many ways to do this: What is your favorite color? What colors inspire you?

    Whatever you decide, will look wonderful. Look at photos of other weddings. Pinterest is a great source for inspiration. I know I personally pin everything in sight as well as my photographs of weddings I have taken. Look at these and see what stands out to you. Do you picture yourself standing in your dress in the middle of these wonderful array of colors?

    Once you pick your colors, then everything else seems to fall right into place. As far as flowers, look up which flowers are in season because different flowers can be difficult to get out of season. (This also helps with budget)
