David and Ann were married at Glendoveers on 01-22-10. The date was chosen carefully to honor the groom’s parents who were also married on a palindromic date: 07-11-70. (Palindrome : read the same forward as backward.)

It was such an honor to get to know these two and to be a part of their wedding day. We are so lucky to have such kind and genuine clients and these two are no exception.

Originally, they envisioned their wedding to be on the beach of Key West. However, they didn’t want to leave any of their loved ones out, so they brought the beach to all of us on a freezing cold day in January. Not only was the decor bright and colorful, but the warmth that all of their friends and family brought to the event was enough to make us thankful to witness such love and joy.

What a great evening! David and Ann, thank you so much for having us. We love the fact that you are crazy about each other and wish you many many years of happiness!

Dave and I met with Laura from Better Together Events today and I am super excited about working together with her on future weddings and projects. Laura is a full time wedding coordinator and she is basically capable of managing everything under the sun. Seriously, if any future brides are thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, don’t hesitate to contact Laura. She can give you inspiring ideas, handle tedious details and keep everything on schedule, all without breaking a sweat!

I love her recent blog featuring these fantastic hangers from Etsy. This is a great detail to think about to make your wedding photos extra special.

No post is complete without a photo, so here is a sneak peak of the new Mr. and Mrs. Cooper. Full post coming soon!

Dave and I experimented with creative lighting today. The smoke comes from burning incense sticks and was photographed using an off camera flash. We had to play around with the background a bit and after a few tries we got it to work out. I’m thinking about putting together a series from this and framing up a few.

Let me know what you think!
