Summer Bridal Show 2007!
Our first Summer Bridal Show at Allisonville Nursery was a complete success! Over 100 engaged couples attended our show and there was a line to get in at 3 p.m! LOL After 5 long months of planning, it all came together beautifully. We had a 40×60 ft decorated white tent behind the nursery filled with dozens of local wedding professionals and a few furry friends too. (above) 🙂 This kitty lives at Allisonville Nursery and decided that she would rest on a comfy chiavari chair provided by Elite Coordinators.
Our friends Rob & Hayley of Beach Bum Vacation…they are SO AWESOME!! We are using them for an upcoming trip, full review with lots of pics to come soon!! 😀
Chuck Eaglin from The Florist at Allisonville Nursery is AMAZING. His flowers are gorgeous and he's so creative. 🙂
I wish I would've had this bouquet for our wedding…it's SO BEAUTIFUL!!! 😀
Heidi from idieh design had some cool set ups of her business cards and info. (pictured above) And one of my pics of Emily Ann Thompson made it on the Indy Star's website this week! 🙂
A cute bridesmaid gift displayed at the Lucky Lou booth….
The hot new chocolate brown tuxes displayed by S&K!!
…and the cutest baby shower idea EVER! I had to post this for my clients who are doing maternity pics and are having baby showers in the near future. Anna Godar from Special Occasions by Anna made this adorable diaper cake display that was a huge hit!!
Congratulations Sarah & Marc!
Sarah and Marc were married at the beautiful Summit Club in Fort Wayne on June 23rd! We had a great time with them that evening and have so many fabulous pics to share! The Summit Club overlooks downtown Fort Wayne and even though the weather didn't cooperate in the beginning, we ended up with a fantastic sunset at the end of the night. Jackie Meyer from Simply Elegant did a great job coordinating every detail…DJ's Direct kept the dance floor packed all night and the Summit Club did an amazing job on the catering. Here's their collage and some larger pics of my favorites!
Her dress was so elegant!
I loved the bridesmaids dresses and necklaces too…
Sharing a few moments together before the ceremony…:)
Their first dance was choreographed and it was AMAZING! I highly recommend this to couples if you want to make a great first impression at your reception. Their "dip" at the end was the perfect ending to the perfect first dance.
The view from the reception hall was awesome. When I saw the warm golden glow on the buildings, I immediately went to the other side of the room to check out the sunset and then grabbed the bride & groom for a few pics in front of the sunset that night, it was so cool!
Sarah was so cool…she didn't even think twice when I asked her if I could write on her shoes…LOL
Sarah had one of her friends run around with a Polaroid camera (just for fun) that day so of course, I had to get a few shots of that! 🙂
Congrats you guys! Hope you had a blast on your honeymoon…lots more pics to come soon! 🙂
More favorites from Cori’s bridal & boudoir session…
I've had so many brides tell me that they LOVED the pics that I posted from Cori's session a few weeks ago and as I finished up photoshopping them last night, I chose a few more faves to post….here's one of her getting ready at Karen's suite…
STUNNING….
Another favorite!! She was glowing that day…:)
HOT!!
Here's a fun ring shot…LOL…this pattern was actually from a pair of underwear that she packed for the photo shoot. I loved it so much that I had to use it for a ring shot. ;p
"What bird?" LOL
And a few more favorites from Emily & Trennen’s wedding…
After I finish photoshopping, I usually find a few more shots that I just *have* to blog….:D
LOVED this ring shot on the paisley print….and their flower girl was so adorable! She was a happy camper after she found out that we bring candy with us to entice smiles from the munchkins…..:D
Cool silhouette of the happy couple…
For all of you with upcoming weddings – if you've ever wondered what it'll be like walking down that aisle with all of your friends and family watching, here you go. Pretty cool, huh? 🙂
The kids had a great time running around playing hide & go seek before and after dinner!
Diana caught this shot, great shot Di!!! This little flower girl knew she was being followed I think. 😉
I saw this adorable pink purse hanging on the back of a guests chair, so of course, I HAD to photograph it!! LOVED it!
I had a funny story from this wedding to share too…when I was at lunch yesterday, I noticed a lady with a couple of kids who kind of looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I've seen her before. I was out running errands and neither of us were dressed up so it didn't hit me until she came up to me as they were leaving! She was the ring bearers' mom from Emily & Trennen's wedding! LOL She said she saw their pics online and loved them and we both had a good laugh about all of that. I'm used to seeing so many faces every weekend and sometimes I'll look at a bridesmaid or a groomsman and ask if they were in a wedding recently because people start to look familiar from seeing so many faces in photos every week! LOL
More favorites from Courtney & Tom’s wedding…
Earlier today, I was looking at some posts from the past few weeks and I realized that I didn't have the chance to post these pics (some of my faves!) from Courtney & Tom's wedding since we started the whole office remodeling project right after we did their collage….so, here they are! I LOVED their personalized Jones soda bottles that they had made using our pics from their engagement session – fabulous idea!!! As part of Tom's proposal to Courtney, he gave her this Martha Stewart Weddings magazine…I told her that we HAD to use it as one of the starter shots in their love story album. 😀
Her dress was stunning…
The Florist at Allisonville Nursery (Chuck) did an AMAZING job that day too…her flowers were so unique, loved them!
The handsome groom….
Some of Courtney's bridesmaids having a good time before the wedding started….
And of course, the happy couple…:)
…and since the bride graduated from Roswell, New Mexico…..LOL…
Check out their fantastic cake!
The groom's parents loved to dance….here's his dad getting down (literally) during the reception! 😀
