He’s sincere, dedicated to his craft, talented in his craft, and he’s always trying to help fellow artists. As mentioned before, he sent me his beautiful albums, “Easy Fires” and “Brother to the Wind” here. Well, he invited me and my husband to see him perform live at Rose Tree, which is a gorgeous venue. I had to take photos, so here’s a little preview of the outstanding show Craig and his buddies put on that night!

Liz looked beautiful in her lace veil and the event was decorated with natural soft details, as well as unique items from Etsy.com (a website offering artists’ work for sale), including the ring holding dish! The cake’s icing, done by  Sweets to You by Ginger, was made to look like tree bark and they had a wonderful candy bar during cocktail hour with rustic accents, including old wooden crates used as platforms. Chris Horne played acoustic music during the ceremony and once the party started for the reception, it was MC’d by DJ Baby Bubba! Congrats Liz and John!

Their first meeting!

Craziest wedding party photo! :D

Lauren and Ian’s gorgeous wedding was featured in this month’s Main Line Today issue! They were planning on having a fall wedding this past October, but got hit with a surprising snowstorm! Their wedding was at the French Creek Golf Club in Elverson and their flowers were designed by Blue Moon Florist in Downingtown. I’m so honored to be a part of such a special day and to also be published by an amazing magazine on top of that! Congrats, Lauren and Ian!

One of those weddings was featured for the Winter issue of DIY Weddings Magazine! Valerie and Paul had a gorgeous day in October, so I just had to share it with the wonderful DIY Weddings! Valerie made most of the details that day, including her veil! They loved it just as much as we did, so they decided to write a story on it! :)

 

Congrats, Valerie and Paul!

Thanks to my awesome assistant photographer, Albert, for manning the booth with me! And last but not least, thanks to my hubby, Justin, who helped me and Albert lug all of our equipment in and lug it all out at the end of the night!

Photos of our booth after the jump!

And finally…CONGRATS to our brides who won our raffles! Tiffany Renninger won an engagement session, Myngo Nelson won the door prize of a bridal/trash the dress session, and Laura Kuehl won our boudoir session. What an eventful night!

Our right booth was primarily for wedding photography, with our newly printed DE Bride Magazine showing Carly and Artie’s wedding featured. We also had our Fine Art albums being displayed!

We had a little bookshelf with framed 4x6s to give the booth a little bit of warm, homey feeling! Justin thought I was crazy staying up the night before arranging flowers, but I think he now agrees that it was totally worth it!Albert is in the back filling out a raffle ticket for someone!

Our left booth had a slide show  for our newly launched boudoir photography, as well as a funky cool retro guestbook and of course, CANDY!

In the back, we had larger prints displayed on a fun divider. (Our booth had the runway behind it for the fashion show, so that’s why there are so many people sitting there :P )

Phew, what a success, the night was fun and the vendors around me were wonderful! I was able to chat briefly with Valerie Fiedler of Silpada Jewelry and Cory of Dorothy Cinema Co., they were so helpful and had great services to offer. I saw Cory’s video, I was blown away by the talent! I’ll end with a short sample reel of his:
