Wedding details + Kate Harrison Photography

I am in love with these drool-worthy images of our client Lindsay and Mike at Casa Real nestled in the heart of wine country. Lindsay was a delight to work with. She had a clear vision for her wedding and she knew exactly when to let go and let me be the designer. Most of all, she is head-over heels in love with her guy, Mike and it shows in each dreamy image that Kate captured. Kate is not only a photographer but a true artist. She captures so much emotion and intensity in her photographs. View a few of the wedding and details here and go over to Kate's blog for more.

Design suite is the "Viviana".

Sweet and Charming Wedding by Jose Villa

Swoon! I mean how lucky are you if you are Jose Villa's sister? I thought these images from Janet and Adrian's intimate, farm-fresh wedding were so beautiful. Janet has "smiling eyes" as Tyra would say and her beau looks so cute in his hat. I love how casual (his jeans and her short dress) and elegant (lush florals and white chivari chairs) this wedding looks.

Dreamy vineyard wedding + Save the Date

Hello lovelies! I am dreaming of a trip to Napa or Sonoma Valley California. With all the rain that has been pouring down in Atlanta lately, I would love to be whisked away on a flight to San Francisco to have a romantic dinner at some fabulous restaurant. Then rent a car and drive up to wine country for a relaxing 4 day vacay complete with spa treatments, wine tasting and tours and a dinner inside a barrel room. What are some of your favorite wineries in California? Do leave me a comment and let me know. Meanwhile, here are some images of my dream vineyard wedding along with a cute save the date design which will be available for purchase in our Etsy shop.

Decadant Chocolates and truffles

My new friend Sukai at Dreamy Gelato and Chocolates makes the most divine chocolates fresh by hand every day. She trained in Europe to make chocolates and gelato. Her adorable company even has a mobile gelato truck that is available for events onsite. There must be something to making chocolates all day because Sukai is the sweetest person I have ever met. Dreamy Gelato and Chocolates creates custom chocolates for favors and gifts. If you are looking for something unique for your wedding or next event, Sukai will create any shape, color, logo, font or picture you can dream of! She made me the most delectable chocolates sprinkled with gold dust for our Paisley Umbrella save the date event. Check out her website and blog here and here. If you are in the Atlanta area, you must stop by her shop to taste!

The church is in need of wedding dresses and attire start their business and Shawna is offering a photo session with her including 50 images on a cd to print any way you like.
