maggie + brad

Maggie and Brad are such a beautiful couple- inside and out! I loved getting to know them and being a part of such a special day. Maggie looked stunning in her Vera Wang gown (every bride's dream!) and my heart melted after seeing Brad's face light up when he saw his bride for the first time. Rodney Bailey did a completely amazing job capturing the day. Rodney's work always blows me away so I knew I would have a hard time narrowing my photo selection down! Congratulations Maggie and Brad! xo

M's bling is crazy beautiful... drool!

sjp love

It's Friday (yay!) so I thought I would share a little SJP love... just because! I've always loved this dress. The layers and layers of ruffles are too fabulous for words. I have a bride who is wearing a frilly number that reminded me of SJP's dress. I can't wait to see her on her wedding day! How many of you can remember where Carrie was when she wore this beauty?! Happy weekend!
