Dallas Wedding Celebration: Dolores & Reginald

November 3, 2018

I’m so excited to share this beautiful wedding celebration with you! I recently had the pleasure of assisting Dolores and Reginald with planning their Dallas wedding celebration! The newlyweds complement each other so well! They are proof that sometimes life will take you on a journey to meet your match made in Heaven! I love their story! When Dolores initially reached out to me, we clicked instantly! Her personality and style was so posh and sophisticated – just like the direction of her wedding plans! Throughout the planning process, Dolores was much more than a client! I am proud to call her my friend!

Dolores and Reginald exchanged vows on the rooftop terrace of The Joule Hotel on a beautiful August evening! The intimate ceremony was so clean, modern, and elegant, much like a scene from Sex And The City! The orchid-filled manzanita tree arch was the perfect frame from the sweet couple and their officiant. (Marty with LoveNotes is always so engaging and a definite joy to work with!) Friends and family appeared to float gracefully on ghost chairs! After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed lite-bites, a signature lemon drop martini, and a cool breeze from their personalized USB smartphone fans! The opening of the sliding terrace doors revealed a gorgeous white-out reception complete with a mirrored dance floor and tabletops, romantic candlelight, and soothing sounds from Natural Change Band! It was such an amazing evening and I’m thankful that I had an opportunity to witness this beautiful union!

Dallas Engagement Session: Ondrea & Allan

September 10, 2018

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! The countdown is on! We are just a few days away from Ondrea and Allan’s Dallas wedding celebration! After months of planning, I am so excited to see the all of the details come together for “The Big Day” with ceremony at The Chapel at Ana Villa and gala at Embassy Suites Frisco Hotel and Convention Center! Their wedding guests are in for a real treat!

Ondrea’s dear friend, Kimberly, who is also Allan’s aunt, played matchmaker and introduced the two! Ondrea and Allan bonded through their love of reggae music, traveling, and watching documentaries! This, with support of family and friends cheering them on, allowed their friendship to blossom to sweet love and the rest is history!

I met Ondrea through mutual Michigan friends! She is such a beautiful person – inside and out! I am in awe about how Allan loves and adores Ondrea! It has been such a joy to assist the couple and Ondrea’s sweet mom, Gigi, with planning the wedding festivities!

Here’s a peek at Ondrea and Allan’s engagement session with James Willis Photography:

It’ll be wheels up to Dallas this weekend! I’m so thankful that Ondrea and Allan have trusted with me their wedding day! Stay tuned for a peek at the celebration courtesy of James Willis Photography and Inspired Effects Videography!

Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 2)

August 24, 2018

I’m so excited to share Part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta! (Be sure to check out part 1 here!)

Our beautiful model bride, Tia, and our handsome model groom, Stephen, were the perfect addition to our styled shoot! The Berta gown that we selected was absolutely gorgeous! The sheer bodice and lace detail enhanced the intricate patterns found throughout the vineyard! The clean lines and European fit of the groom’s black suit was a great complement! Here’s a peek courtesy of Casey Green Photography:

The tablescape provide a picturesque setting for a romantic dinner! The tabletop structure, complete with bold floral and lush greens, was used to create a beautiful contrast with Yonah Mountain. The candle accents, French details, and ornate stationery atop of back sequins embodied “Dark Romance meets French Allure” while the cake appeared to float gracefully in the background on a clear, acrylic pedestal!

I am forever grateful for the amazing group of Atlanta wedding professionals who shared their time, products, and services to make this shoot more magical than I could have ever dreamed! Thank you!

Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 1)

August 22, 2018

Happy Wedding Wednesday! When Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta asked me to plan and design a styled shoot for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue, I was beyond elated! The inspiration was “Dark Romance meets French Allure”. The location was Yonah Mountain Vineyards in Cleveland, Georgia! After my first visit to the vineyard, I was in complete awe about the beautiful scenery and venue!

Planning this styled shoot definitely holds a special place in my heart because I had an opportunity to take a step outside of the “city lights” and truly bond with the mountainside. The smell of the vineyard, the sound of nature, the sight of Yonah Mountain, the feel of the warm sun and moisture in the air, and the taste of handcrafted wine definitely sparked great inspiration for this shoot! During the planning process, I wanted to ensure that the final product would transcend space and time while promoting the use of all 5 senses through photographs!

I have so many favorite details from this shoot! I absolutely adore the ceremony space that we created on one of the hilltops overlooking the twenty acre vineyard! The nude drapery, outlined in black, with accents of bold fuchsia, red, and pink floral was the perfect frame for our bride and groom. The gold-trimmed black onyx chairs provided the right amount of romantic sophistication!

I am so thankful to the wedding professionals and models who worked effortlessly to bring my vision to life! Stay tuned for part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards!

XOXO
