Happy Saturday! This week has flown by–Emily and I started the week with a little road trip up to Northern Virginia for a V7 shoot, which was so much fun. We stayed at the beautiful Salamander Resort (Honey List post coming soon!), tried to restrain ourself at Lucketts, and had a wonderful shoot with Blue Ribbon Vendor Holly Chapple and our talented photographer friend, Katie Stoops. Don’t forget to follow #MakingSouthernWeddings on Instagram for sneak peeks of V7 all summer long!
See more from this engagement session by Katie Lamb on our Facebook page!

The number one piece of advice we read from the sweet brides we feature is that engaged gals should focus on their marriages rather than just their weddings. We believe this wholeheartedly (check out our Sweet Tea Society manifesto to read more about what we believe!), but also know that it’s often easier said than done. That’s why we’re excited to share any tools we can find that will help brides plan for a strong marriage in the midst of cake tastings and DIY projects. For those of you planning a faith-based wedding, A Christ-Centered Wedding includes practical advice and information to help you with the nuts and bolts of your wedding, like timelines and budgeting tips, but most of all, it keeps God’s love and His plan for marriage as the focus throughout your engagement.
Have a delightful weekend!
