jen from sin pretty beauty did an incredible job of glammin' up megan and her girls.

SOPHIE!! 

megan wanted to do a bridesmaid reveal... needless to say I will be urging all of my brides from now on to do this. one of my favorite moments out of the whole day!

might have been just slightly obsessed with this stained glass window at st. charles.

TESS + DENNIS • MARRIED

// what a lovely day at the always stunning vineyards at pine lake for tess and dennis's september wedding! their lakeside ceremony was drenched in sunlight with a soft breeze off the lake - it could not have been more perfect. gorgeous weather, a beautiful bride and groom, tons of friends and family and tunes by the incomparable DJ BRANDEN made for such a great party later on - I loved that tess surprised her dad with a rolling stones jacket during the father daughter dance! and can you believe that tess's mom did ALL of the floral and decor herself?! such talent and gorgeous results! congrats, tess & dennis!

LORI + MIRO • MARRIED

// the thing I loved the most about Lori & Miro's wedding was how focused they were on each other all day long. of course, they had an amazing party, complete with lots of family & friends, wood-fired pizza, cookie sundaes, giant yard games and Zima (!!) - but in the end, this day was undoubtedly about the love and marriage of these two wonderful humans.

“home is where I want to be
pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun

the less we say about it the better
make it up as we go along
feet on the ground, head in the sky
it’s okay, I know nothing’s wrong, nothing

oh! I got plenty of time
oh! You got light in your eyes
and you’re standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
never for money, always for love
cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

home, is where I want to be
but I guess I’m already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place”
