Vintage Baby Shower...Sneak peek

My dear friend Laura Marchbanks Boucock is having a sweet baby boy this February. I was lucky enough to co-host her baby shower with her sister in law Leah and her friend Hilary.

Below are a few pictures of some of the details of the day.  (She is officially on maternity leave, so the professional photos will be added later;)

Congratulations Laura and Billy! I can't wait to meet Brady!

Uptown Hideaway Open House

Fall is a special time of year for us wedding professionals. This is the time of year that all the amazing couples out there are looking and booking for our next wedding season.  For this reason alone we do a TON of promotion during the October and November months.

We have recently had the pleasure of working with some over-the-top fantastically talented local vendors to put together a bridal tasting and open house with Pyramid Catering. The event was held at my FAVORITE venue in Seattle, Uptown Hideaway.

The rustic and cozy atmosphere is the perfect location for an intimate wedding in the city or any event for the matter. Here are a few photos that I snapped with my camera:

Something to love!

So I made this blog a while back and I haven't had the time to sit down to share whats on my mind...until now...

We've all heard the quote: Do what you love and love what you do. I don't even know how to reference this saying, but I sure do live by it every day of my life.

Not many of us truly get to have it all in this lifetime. I find myself having to think about anything that I don't have and it's difficult to come up with an example. I feel blessed with an amazing family, great friends, and a blossoming career that I am quite proud of.

So back to doing what I love and loving what I do. This past Spring I had the opportunity to put together an AMAZING team to design and style a photo shoot. Take a look at these fantastic photos (by the oober talented Laura Marchbanks) and please give a shout out to the contributing vendors listed below!

 

P.S. Did you see how absolutely adorable that flower girl is?! I'm a little biased as she is my sweet little girl;)

xoxo
