Hi y’all! We have three V6 shoots and a handful of #summerdoins left on our list before fall kicks in, but we are enjoying every last bit of summer and hope you are too! Our office was full for a few days this week, thanks to Marissa and Kristin making their way to Chapel Hill for the annual team photo shoot, and it was so much fun having everyone together. Marissa and I hadn’t even met in person until Tuesday!
Our team photo shoot day was so full of blessings, from the most perfect weather, to lots of time spent laughing together, to the talented Landon and Jordan of Landon Jacob Photography, who captured the whole thing. This picture is from their Instagram, and was taken in Fearrington Village at the very end of our shoot. Landon and Jordan, we are so grateful for y’all!
Nicole was next up in our Dream Southern Summer Wedding series, and no surprise, her inspiration was perfectly bright, cheerful and fun. Wouldn’t you love to be invited to such a lovely lakeside soiree? See it here.
Oh, how we love the South! The simple joys that are so prevalent here are one of Lara’s biggest reasons, and we would love to hear yours too. Hop on over to her Why We Love the South post and let us know!
Kristin dove into her second Hint for a Happy Marriage: use your words. It’s no secret that communication is an essential part of any great relationship, and Kristin’s advice for making that happen is a must-read.
Southern hospitality is a huge part of both our mission and the overall culture of the South, so we were smitten with this beautiful hospitality-inspired shoot. Pineapples are a very common symbol for hospitality, and I can’t get over the beautiful way this team incorporated them! See it here.
Yay, real weddings!
After a romantic birthday proposal in New York City, Janet and Collin did an amazing job of using DIY details in their North Carolina wedding without losing an ounce of elegance in the process. See it here.
I believe that when you meet the right person, it’s possible to know in your heart right away that they’re the one. Erica and Danny most certainly did, and their wedding was such a joyful celebration of their love for each other and their little boy. See it here.
There are so many things we loved about Adrienne and Bryan’s wedding, from her glittery Kate Spade heels, to the adorable goat picture on their bar menu, to the dreamy South Carolina scenery, to the story of how Bryan proposed with his grandmother’s ring. See it here.
Last but not least!
Today is Facebook Friday, and we have a lovely engagement session by Elizabeth Kitchens to share!
Congratulations to our Blue Ribbon Vendor, Haley Sheffield, on the launch of her lovely new brand! I can’t stop admiring her gorgeous website, so be sure to take a look here.
Alabama brides, take note! Simply Wed Studio is a brand new wedding planning studio and vendor community in Birmingham that celebrated their grand opening yesterday. We know y’all are going to love them!
Happy weekend!
Beautiful Couple! Beautiful Wedding!
