Cassie’s Baby Shower!
On 9/25 we photographed the most beautiful baby shower EVER for our friends Deborah Bowman & Cassie Smith from A Touch of Elegance! Cassie held her shower at D’Amore, one of our favorite venues, and it looked STUNNING! They had blue uplighting with crystals hanging from the ceiling…
And an adorable diaper cake (that they made!) along with their adorable invitations…
Everything was so personalized, I loved it!
Jamee Bryant from Setting the Mood did an AMAZING job on the candy buffet! Everyone loved it!
Yummy treats!!
The dining area looked gorgeous! Angie Kenley from Bokay did a fabulous job on the flowers!
Deborah rented these amazing chair sashes from Wildflower Linen, my all time favorite linen provider!!
Each place setting was perfect! 🙂
More stunning flowers from Bokay!
Best baby shower EVER! Deborah & Cassie sure know how to throw a gorgeous, elegant party!
Paige from Sweet Seductions did a fabulous job on her cake!
Kathy Hershberger played lullaby music on the violin as guests entered the room…
Deborah welcomed everyone to the shower…
John & I put together a DVD slideshow of photos set to music so that their guests could enjoy seeing some of their maternity photos before having lunch and opening gifts. It was a huge hit! 🙂
Love this one! John caught Dustin in the other room watching the slideshow too… 🙂
Guests were greeted with amazing appetizers like these kettle chips with white cheddar and an edible monogram!
They were also offered a blue sunken cotton candy signature drink! Super cool!
Lunch was equally amazing…they had different “craving stations” that featured all kinds of foods that Cassie has been craving throughout her pregnancy! They had a salsa bar/taco station, mini gourmet burgers, cheese fries with ranch dressing, buffalo chicken with macaroni & bleu cheese and a salad station! Lots of yummy options for their guests!
To top it off, they even had a dessert station featuring these adorable pie pops in several different flavors, blue cotton candy and the yummy cake from Sweet Seductions! Guests LOVED it!
Grayson received so many wonderful goodies that day!
Cassie opened gifts after lunch and one of our mutual clients (Cayla & her mom) came up with the idea to clothespin their gifts on a rope and place it in a basket. When she unfolded it all, it stretched across the room and featured so many adorable outfits and useful things for Cassie & Dustin! It was awesome!! 🙂
BFF photo!! 🙂 (Deborah, Cassie & Karen together) We all had such a fun time that day! Cassie looked adorable in her custom dress from Dianne at A Fitting Creation. We also had the chance to work with videographers Jet & Dani Kaiser again, they are so sweet and laid back, they’re always a lot of fun to work with! It was like a big get together with a lot of vendor friends that day…so fun! 🙂
Thanks for allowing us to capture the most awesome baby shower ever!! 🙂 Can’t wait to capture Grayson’s arrival this week too!! XOXO
Cassie’s Maternity Photo Shoot!
Many of you know one of our favorite wedding planning teams, Deborah Bowman & Cassie Smith from A Touch of Elegance…well, Cassie is adorably pregnant and due any day now!! 🙂 We headed out to Avon Gardens for her maternity shoot the weekend before her AWESOME baby shower (which will be posted next!) and I wanted to post some of my favorites from their photo shoot! 🙂 Since she’s having a November baby, I thought the pumpkin shot would go along well with this time of year! 😉
Cassie & her husband Dustin are SO cute together! They’re going to be great parents!
LOVE IT!
Butterfly kisses 🙂
Waiting for baby Grayson…
LOL 🙂
I LOVE this shot of Cassie, isn’t she so adorable? 🙂
They found these letters that spell out Grayson’s name, I love using props for photo shoots! 🙂
Another favorite! 🙂
So sweet!!
I adore this one! 🙂
Deborah came along to the photo shoot too! I turned around and saw her sitting pretty on this bench, I thought maybe this would be a good profile pic for facebook or their website?! 🙂
Awwww 🙂
John got this shot of me with Deborah & Cassie at the very end…definitely another favorite! 🙂
Thanks for a fun time you guys and thanks for allowing us to capture this awesome moment in your lives! XOXO
Crystal + Joe = Married!
On 9/24, we photographed Crystal & Joe’s gorgeous Fall wedding at Plum Creek Golf Club! I know I’ve said this before but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fall weddings!!! Oberer’s flowers did an amazing job on her bouquet! Isn’t it stunning?!

Crystal & Joe are so cute together, you can tell they really adore one another…love that!
Playing paparazzi in the bushes! 😉
Giving me a fierce “Tyra” moment 🙂

I love how in love they are…
Yay!!
Heavenly Sweets did an awesome job on their cake!
John & I decided to do a silhouette with the video light…loved it!
So pretty!!
Loved the candlelight throughout the reception hall…

Crystal was inspired by the candy buffet in my office and decided to have one at her reception! LOVED that!
And of course, I thought it would make the perfect ring shot! 🙂
