"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..." Wedding Moments in Time


I love the editorial, "Sex & The City" vibe this image offers, and a clear representation of how I absolutely adore and cherish my work. Working with beauties such as Jackie on the most special day of her life makes everything so incredibly worth while...

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..." Wedding Moments in Time


This image is from the fond, fun and fierce wedding of Kara and Greg Olsen.

We did most of our planning with Kara and her lovely mother Deb due to Greg's playing schedule with The Chicago Bears. We didn't quite know what to expect when we met him, so we were a *bit*b apprehensive to say the least.

Long story short: Greg couldn't be more of a gentleman with a great passion for football, his family, his charitable organizations and most of all--Kara!

This picture compliments of Rhett Pyle says it all as they listen in to touching and light-hearted toasts...I just love how he "embraces" her!

Real Weddings: Jacqueline London gets married! {The trailer!}

Poise, grace and generosity of heart and spirit are only a few words to appropriately describe the wedding of our local news sweetheart, Jacqueline London and her handsome groom Tony McGee...

A two minute glimpse into the wedding experience of Jacqueline London and Tony McGee as exquisitely documented by Jeffrey Stoner.

Am I biased? Perhaps...but great video is darn great video!

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..." Wedding Moments in Time


This week I have the pleasure of sharing an image with you captured by the delightful Sandra Johnson.

Nory and Mike's military may have pulled out all the stops: a salsa band, martini ice luge, cigar rollers, amazing floral and lighting and an outstanding venue. Elements like these always help to facilitate fun and memorable moments.

No moment was more poignant, however, than the one illustrated in this picture as Nory's mother Daisy spoke vulnerably about her late husband and Nory's father.

Once again, and in an instant, "A picture is worth a thousand words..."

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..." Wedding Moments in Time



I've recently been flooded by fond memories of working, planning and playing with Kate Gissy-Saft recently...

It's been coming in fun waves from remembering the first time I met her and Jared in her office, to fun floral meetings, an NYC dress-sopping trip with all the ladies in her family and, of course, our "Friday" chats.

I couldn't just pick one photo this time...I absolutely adored the female dynamic in this family: there is such an incredible bond between her and her sister, Greta and between her mother Brenda with her own mother and her sisters. {Yes, we were all in NYC shopping!} Now, Kate also has the delightful addition of Jared's sister Marisa and mother Ellen to this incredible female roster.I love the image that has Kate. Brenda and Greta primping just before we made our way to the ceremony...

The second image I love because Kate's father delivered a speech that was perfectly balanced with sentiment and humor...This was Kate's reaction applauding as she leaped to her feet in gratitude.

*Thank you to Damon Tucci for these images!*
