My friend and fellow wedding vendor extraordinaire, Brenda Swann was in need of some new promo shots because she is excitedly expanding her team. Well of course I had to jump at the chance to work with Brenda again… she is so full of energy and inspiration and always there to lend a helping hand, whether it be offering to help me with my bridal fair booth or hooking me up with doggie meds after an awful fight!

Brides, if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further. Brenda is THE brides coordinator, she is always on your side to help, support and do whatever it takes to make it happen. Check out her blog for proof of that! I appreciate that she is focused on what’s best for the whole team and so we all end up working together harmoniously. Go to the Swann Soirées website for more info and to get in touch!

The last wedding of 2009 to blog……. and now I’m all caught up and ready for the twenty-10 season!

These two tied the knot at Humpherys Half Moon Inn last summer. The wedding was very colorful & festive with the girls rockin the bright bouquets and the guys rockin the ed hardy sneakers! The dance floor was packed, the toasts were hilarious and I would venture to guess there were quite a few hangovers the next morning. The ladies at Simply Exquisite weddings did a fantastic job coordinating the event, it was a true success!

A few pre-ceremony portraits. Kristin’s elegant earrings were custom designed by my friend Tiff at T Leah Designs.

Ready to get married!

That’s “best man” folks!

side note: did you know I have a Ed Hardy original tattoo? true story, ask me about it!

We were graced by some beautiful light here:

Paaaaaaarty time!

Probably my favorite shots from the day…

Last year at this time we were just returning home from a trip to Costa Rica. I finally realized that I never shared any photos from this trip, silly me!

Now Costa holds a special place in the hearts of Ryan & I, we have traveled there twice together and absolutely love the country, people and amazing nature and wild animals. When we get married we are thinking about having our wedding there. Yay, destination wedding!

The 1st time we went, we traveled all around the country and saw lots, but this time we knew exactly where we wanted to go. We made a bee-line to the Carribean coast, ready to spend 2 weeks either on the beach, in a hammock or riding our bikes through the rainforest. My parents own land in a town called Puerto Viejo, which is on the border near Panama. So off we went on our 6 hour bus ride to paradise!

Check out how well this sloth is camouflaged!

We had an opportunity to house sit at this amazing cabina in the jungle. These were the dogs we took care of, King and Maliki…

Local women taught us how to make patacones, which are fried plantains. Delish!

Our instructors, Diana and Brenda

You hear a lot of reggae over there! This was painted on the side of a house…

I hope that you enjoyed the pics as much as I did taking them. Can’t wait to go back!
