#TBT : Green Wedding Shoes feature

For anyone that knows me, they know that small world connections are....well...kind of 'my thing.' Seriously though, if I've just met you, I will find a small world connection with you, somehow, some way.  So when I was hanging with my East Coast Main Squeeze last summer, he mentioned that there was a photographer friend of his from New Jersey that I would really connect with...turns out this friend of his is Miss Jessica from Jessica Oh Photography.

After a few, "say what?! 's" from me, I told him that I had been following her business (like the true creeper McCreeperson I am) for awhile on Facebook! I knew I would have to connect with her at some point, and shoot her an email.

Well, just a few short weeks later, Jessica posted that she was looking for a stationer to work with on an upcoming shoot.  BOOM. I shot her an email, and it was instant biz (and friendship) love. And don't worry, I explained my creeper status (and small world connection) to her. 

She told me about this upcoming elopement that she was shooting...in a forest.  I was sold! 

The couple, Shawn and Marine, eloped in a forest fairytale, complete with woodland creatures, cozy blankets, SNOW, and the cutest details you will ever see.  I was honored to be apart of it.

To top it all off: we were featured on Green Wedding Shoes! Visit it here to see more details from this snowy winter forest elopement! :)

Jessica + Quinn

Jessica and Quinn's stationery was SUCH an honor to design, because back in the day (and I'm talking awkward-Josie-grossie-middle-school-days), Quinn and I went to school together.  Having gone to different colleges after High School, we naturally lost touch a bit, but reconnected when Quinn told me he was engaged (to the sweetest girl, I might add).

Jessica, Quinn, and I met up at a coffee shop in my hometown, and chatted new jobs, new homes, and oh yea, weddings :) They were planning a gorgeous and oh-so-elegant ceremony and reception.

Their stationery matched their heart totally, and I couldn't be more pleased with how they came out :) The elegant design, paired with the deep purples and silvery paper? Yep. Spot. On.

So happy for you Jessica and Quinn!

Bridal Fair Drawing Winners!

These past two weeks have been nuts blogettes! The Sunday before last I did the Menomonee Bridal Fair (had a blast), that following Wednesday I traveled out to New Jersey, I arrived back on Saturday evening, and did the Metropolis Bridal Fair the next day (also had a blast)! PHEW! It was awesome.

Anyways! Needless to say, I have finally picked my winners from the drawings at BOTH fairs! Thanks for patiently waiting :)

Since I am crazy and can't pick just one....I randomly picked 3. There are winners from both fairs, so don't worry, I didn't leave anyone out.

Drum roll please (wouldn't it be awesome if you actually drum rolled there?)....

Yay! Shout out to Nicole, Rebecca, and Sara for being awesome and winning (even though it was random) :) Still, you are awesome.

You will hear from me soon-woot woot!
