You know you're in for a great Engagement Session when your client shows up rocking a fabulous yellow dress! We had such a great time working with Haley+Ryan -- the weather was perfect, they were ready to have fun, and they're obviously crazy about each other! We can't wait for their big day this Fall! Congrats, guys!
With Father's Day coming this weekend, we wanted to mention one of our favorite wedding day moments -- Dad's First Look.
For many brides, the first part of the day is all about spending time with your girls. You get dressed with your mom, your sisters, and your girlfriends. Soon you’ll walk down the aisle toward the man (or woman) of your dreams. More and more we’re seeing lots of brides take the time to do a First Look with their Dads, and we love it! Dads are the original VIPs. Consider setting aside a few minutes for your Dad to see you in your dress. Catch a breath. Share a moment or two. Give him a chance to get a little emotional. It will mean so much to him and become one more happy memory to hang on to!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in your lives and ours!

Angela+Joe's story began as a happy accident -- right place, right time. On her way up to a friend's apartment, Angela held the door for one of Joe's friends who was heading up to a wine tasting in his apartment. In a brief elevator ride, Joe's friend invited Angela to stop by the tasting. Angela and her friends decided to duck in and say hello -- a decision that introduced Angela to Joe, the man of her dreams!
Congrats, Angela+Joe! We're so glad the universe helped you find your way to each other!
