Read MoreFirst of all, deep breaths! That’s survival tip #1. Though breathing is actually super beneficial, I know it doesn’t solve all your thwarted wedding plans due to coronavirus. If you need to postpone your wedding/celebration because the people on your guest list are your rocks and you want them a part of your day - YOU do YOU. I know making decisions about your wedding is not an easy task right now and there is so much to consider. Put your number one priority first, whatever that may be for you. I have created 4 options for considering how to proceed with your 2020 wedding.
Read MoreFast forward to these two getting married. I knew from the day that I met Michael and Jennifer that this was going to be one of my favorite weddings to shoot. I loved how they envisioned their wedding from the start. Modern and minimalistic details. Using all greenery + plants instead of flowers. A gorgeous hotel with a unique detail of doing a ceremony around a pool. (The pool which later became the second dance floor.)

The day progressed so easily and before we knew it Tami was getting into her gown and heading to see John for the first look.

Let me paint you this picture...It’s a warm, sunny Friday afternoon. I arrive at my destination, Quail Haven Farm. As I drive up this long windy driveway, I notice trees and flowers and turn to corner to see this wonderful barn with the friendliest horses popping their heads out to greet...
