We had such an awesome time this past weekend with our couple Christina and Jason.  The weather in Sarasota fl was absolutely perfect.  The SarasotaBayfront Marina ( next to Marina Jack's) was a great backdrop for this engagement session.  It was so gorgeous we decided to walk into town to continue the session.  That night Christina e-mailed me and said they had a blast!  So did we.  Last year we decided to add video to our wedding services and we couldn't be happier with the results.  In…

June is perhaps the best month of the year because it is during this month when the weather becomes not too hot and not too cold. It is during this month when the sky becomes clear and everything else seems beautiful.

If you are going to get married at this time of the year, you should arrange for the necessary…

1. Where is your wedding going to be?

This is an important question because venues vary from a backyard tent to a Vegas Chapel and on to a Grand Ballroom. Even if you don't have your exact venue booked at the time of dress shopping, that's okay as long as you know the style you want the wedding to be. Some…

Believe it or not, bridal garters are one of the longest surviving wedding traditions! Dating all the way back to the 1500’s in France and England, wedding guests would wait outside the bridal bed chamber  for the groom to toss the garter or stockings. The lucky one who caught the bride’s under-things was granted good luck and was supposed to be married in the next year.

It wasn’t always this simple…

We are working hard to get our unique shop open by May!  We have found funds are extremely, well for us, impossible to obtain, as we are a new, start-up business.  I have sold items on ebay for over 11 years as a hobby and that is where I developed my love for all things bridal.  

Yesterday, my husband picked up this magazine called,…

I enjoy weddings big and small, but I'm definitely not a typical wedding junkie. I'd never picked up bridal magazines until I agreed to have one of these things myself, and they pretty much confirmed the idea that "traditional" bride-dom was not for me. As a bride-to-be I've become more curious about how my the people who share my genes (and aversions) have celebrated marriage. My grandparents' unfussy wartime wedding (photo …
