This is a wonderfully busy month for me!!! I had my workshop Personal Professional on April 1st ... and two days from now I will be getting married. Yes: ME!!! I am so happy and excited and anxious and busy!!!
Before I go away for a week of marriage bliss I'd like to post some of the photos from Personal Professional on April 1st. In my humble opinion the workshop was awesome!!! We had a small group of students who contributed so much to the class. And then an amazing photo shoot styled up by some of Knoxville's most awesome vendors beginning with Shanna Jestice of Ruffles & Rouge Events. Shanna dreamed up the color palette and theme of our session. She is so creative and innovativeand I absolutely LOVE how she took her vision and turned it into something really adorable an unique. Get ready for some serious eye-candy!
Our entire day was hosted by The Historic Mabry-Hazen House
This is Laura ... our gorgeous bride model for the day.
The inside of The Mabry Hazen House is a museum full of antiques and treasures that belonged to the original owners. Its also full of some beautiful window light and we couldn't resist a few "getting ready" images of Laura.
Laura's gorgeous gown and accessories were provided by The Gilded Gown
Leah Teague of Flourish Floral Design Studio did an amazing job on our flowers. I LOVE the colors!!!
Laura's hair and make-up were done by Jamie Walker & Heather Grasham of Bangs & Blush
Our handsome groom model (and Laura's real husband) Timothy ... looking so sharp and adorable all at once.
Squeal for bow ties!!!! The groom's attire and accessories were also provided by my wonderful friends at The Gilded Gown
What an adorable springy ceremony set-up. So happy and bright! Shanna (Ruffles & Rouge Events) used All Occasions Party Rentals for the chairs and arbor. They are so professional and helpful. And Shanna knew just how to make those sweet little chairs even more special.
These shots in the dogwood tree are my favorites of the day. Ahh ... how perfect!
