Katie and Dan are such a fun pair. There are few weddings where you find the subtle colors of champagne and peach combined with beautiful, classic florals, and then get to throw in a skull and crossbones koozie. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE couples who are authentically and fantastically themselves? I do. (Wedding pun fully intended). Katie is a former event planner in her hometown of Houston, and she was on top of the planning process. She knew exactly what she wan

I think Winter weddings are becoming some of my favorites... maybe because they're less popular, maybe because there's usually no big rain backup plan (almost everything's already inside), or maybe because I like fur stoles and icy accents? In any case, Ashley and Davis's wedding did NOT disappoint. It had all of these fun elements and more. It was so much for working with Ashley to coordinate the wedding. She wanted to embrace the Winter theme and had a formal, Uptown aff

When you plan or coordinate a wedding for people you know, you just feel more connected to it. This is one reason I really try to get to know all my couples before their wedding day, but feeling connected is especially easy when your friendship began almost two and a half years before the wedding. This was the case with Ryan and Mackenzie. I met them during our summer teacher training in June of 2014. Ryan had just graduated from Clemson (an immediate and never failing co

If I could sum up Becca and Jason's wedding in one word it would be "Surprise!" The couple wanted their wedding to be personalized, different, and a BLAST for guests, so while they included all of the traditional elements in their day, they did things with a twist to surprise guests throughout the night. When I say surprises, know that this couple is a PRO at them. So often, when I hear engagement stories (and this one includes my own!) I hear about trips, or special nights

Wedding crashers are always hard to deal with, and Matthew was no exception. Matthew the hurricane that is... he came in with strong winds and rain, made for some tough last minute decisions, (and some purchases of extra umbrellas), but he didn't dampen the party. This wedding started over a year ago when I met Caitlyn and Todd. We had a fun start to the planning process, finding out that Caitlyn and I shared a love of elephants, and Todd and I share a birthday! Caitlyn kn

I drove. And kept driving. And finally, down a dirt road, I arrived to Whip Poor Will Hill, where Liz and David held both their ceremony and reception. The small, family run venue was perfect for the couple’s rustic, Fall wedding with trendy marsala, blush, and gold colors. The couple’s wedding was FULL of little (and BIG) details. When I arrived at the venue for the rehearsal the day before the wedding, I got to see all of the crazy hard work I knew Liz’s mom had put into

Megan and Scott are quite possibly the cutest couple ever. This is no joke. The first time I saw them together (via Skype!) it just made me smile.... the way they paid attention to each other, the way they made decisions together, and their consideration of one another was so sweet and evident. They simply are perfect for one another. When it came to their actual wedding day, we knew there would be one small obstacle to overcome...HEAT. It was a humid, 97 degree day in Co

This wedding...wow. What a pleasure to be a part of the love that was shared on your big day. K + D's story is short and sweet. They met, they knew it was meant to be, and they started their happily ever after on Saturday, April 9 (all within about a year). The couple hosted two ceremonies, a family, church centered one in the morning, and a personalized vow exchange for friends and family in the afternoon. An hour of hors d'oeuvres and drinks followed the vow exchange, wh
