Happy Friday, fam!!! Anyone else feeling like they need a weekend after the holiday week?! I’m heading into a Saturday engagement session (in one of my favorite places–Penn State!!) and a day off!! It is the time of year where I am starting to schedule engagement sessions for my 2019 clients, and it got me thinking that it would be great to do a quick post to detail the perfect way to time your engagement session!

We made it to FRDIAY, y’all! I’m gearing up to second shoot a wedding tomorrow, am working with a sweet family on Sunday & get to head to my favorite beach spot for one whole day of vacation! PHEW busy season is here, but I am SO excited to get out of town (even if it is just for a day!!) Today’s post is all about your floral delivery!! Specifically, we are going to talk about why I ask that your bridal bouquet be delivered prior to my arrival.

Happy Friday, friends! By the time you read this post, I’ll be off photographing a sweet couple tying the knot at PENN STATE! EEP I am so excited! I’ll be back at my alma mater today for a gorgeous outdoor wedding (followed by a fun reception at the Penn Stater!!), and then, I am off to PA to second shoot with Savannah on Saturday! It is going to be a busy weekend but such an amazing one! This week on Friday Chatter, I wanted to take a look at something that can make a big difference in your wedding gallery & your overall experience: your getting ready space!! 

This week, we’re tackling my 8 must-have tools for business! These things keep my business running and keep my brain in check when things get crazy!! Tune in below for the complete list of the 8 business tools that I can’t live without! 

Today’s post is for all my fellow vendors! We’ve been at this wedding season for a few months now, and I’m sure we have all become too familiar with the dreaded and inevitable next day wedding vendor “hangover.” Now, before we get too far into this post I need to clarify something: A wedding vendor hangover is NOT a result of drinking too much while on the job! It’s not even a result of drinking!! I have never and will never drink at a wedding that I am working!! OK… now that we are all on the same page, let’s chat about what a wedding vendor hangover really is! 

I looked at my calendar this week and realized that, as of this Saturday, I have officially called Washington, DC home for TWO years now! WOW time flies! Last year, I shared a letter to myself. I shared the words that I would have told the girl getting off the plane, fresh out of college with a dream and not a whole lot of plans. I reread this post this week, and I cried like a baby. It was a bit embarrassing… thankfully, I was alone in my apartment. Goodness… how so many things have changed and how so many things have stayed exactly the same.

Happy Friday, Friends! I’m gearing up for a double header wedding weekend with two of my sweetest gal pals in the industry, and I CAN’T WAIT!

Hi friends! Phew… does anyone else feel like this past week actually flew by?! I woke up on Monday morning, and then… all of a sudden, it was Friday! I am so excited for this weekend. It marks my first wedding of the season, and it is going to be absolutely beautiful! Busy season is officially in full swing, and it feels so good!
