Happy Anniversary, L!

One year ago today I was MOH in L's wedding! It was such a beautiful day filled with so much love and laughter, so I thought I would share a few photos from the special day... Here's to the first year and many more to come!

The girls!

Lately

I'm back! After what turned out to be one amazing (and very tiring) week in DC, I'm so happy to be home and have the time once again to share my thoughts with you all!

So, what have I been up to lately? Remember the wedding I was in? Well, it was absolutely beautiful and I was so honored to be a part of the special day. Here are a few images that I took throughout the weekend...

The wedding took place on a Friday, so the next day the wedding party went boating together and finished out the night with an almost-surprise birthday party for a friend!

The next day I was off to Washington DC for a week long training for my new position. The days averaged around 14-16 hours worth of trainings and involved a lot of coffee, so unfortunately I don't have many images to share with you. Although it was a lot of hard work, I still managed to have a great time and most importantly learned a lot!

Since returning home early on Sunday morning I've slept a lot and have now started the lovely task of prepping for a move (yikes!)...more on that to come soon!

Have a wonderful day!

Up and Away Wedding

If you follow me on Pinterest, you've possibly noticed that I have a love for editorials with balloons. Knowing my latest fascination, you can imagine how excited I was when I ran across these lovely images on Martha Stewart Weddings!

I'm in a wedding today (remember my friend, N), so I thought sharing these fun photos with you all would be very fitting. With so many beautiful images can you guess which one is my favorite?

Whimsical Weekend

Happy Friday! Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Mine will be packed with judging local cheerleading tryouts (way too excited about this!), helping with graduation on the campus where I work, attending a wedding, and planning a bridal shower. Although it will be busy, it should be a fun weekend!

With much of my weekend being centered around wedding related things, I'll send you off into yours with these whimsical Yann Audic bridal images.
