April & Tim - June 27, 2009 at The Hermitage

I am so excited to finally share this wedding with all of you! April and Tim were some of my all-time favorite clients to work with, and despite the record-breaking heat that weekend, their event turned out beautifully, especially surrounded by their friends and family who so clearly adored them. A HUGE thank you to Mark & Noelle at McCoy Photo Duo (formerly McCoy Studio) for sharing these amazing pictures with us!

April was, of course, completely stunning! This first picture of her just floors me every time I see it - the parasols were a last minute find, and they added SO much.

April had strong ideas about colors and styles, and I really loved the bold choices she made, from the unique bridesmaids dresses to her handmade custom runners. She even chose to use material from the runners with the invitations, and they turned out amazing!

The ceremony was held in restored The Hermitage Church on the grounds at the home of President Andrew Jackson. The program fans - complete with April and Tim's monogram, also appearing on the invitations, napkins, and an embroidered altar piece - came in very handy.

The reception was held at Tulip Grove Mansion, also on the grounds.

One of my favorite groom's cakes of all time, easily. Great job by Amy at The Bake Shoppe! :)

Michelle & Joel - September 21

We promised you a closer look at this wedding several weeks ago, and here it is! We simply loved this wedding - it was an intimate brunch for 35 on a gorgeous Sunday morning.

Michelle really tied her details together by selecting a complete ensemble of printed pieces throughout the event - including invitations, menu cards, gift tags, programs, and napkins - all imprinted with the same motif and color scheme.

Their brunch included Swedish Pancakes and homemade Lingonberry jam and even gluten free muffins for some specials guests.

Joel, a fantastic photographer (check out his blog at http://hartzphotographic.blogspot.com/!), was surprised with a completely edible model of his Canon 5D camera by Maples Wedding Cakes, complete with all the buttons and knobs!

Thanks as always to Zach Gray for sharing pics with the WCW family. I love how he captured their unique style as a couple!

(that's one of my favorite CJ's photos EVER!)

Jennifer & Steven - A Beautiful Spring Wedding!

Even a year and a half later, Jennifer & Steve's wedding here at CJ's Off the Square remains one of our favorites. They were such a warm couple, so in love, and we were nearly sad on their wedding day because it meant we wouldn't have an excuse to see them on a regular basis! We especially loved being able to work with Jennifer from beginning to end, from her invitations to the getaway car. She trusted us with every detail and we loved bringing them to life for her!

Many thanks to Chuck at Arlund Imagery for sharing their wonderful pictures with us.

(and are those not the cutest flower girl and ring bearer you've ever seen?!)
