Del Sol Photography

While I was unable to afford the amazing (astounding even!) Del Sol Photography, I thought I might take a moment to introduce you to them assuming you have the money to afford them. If I could have, I would have had them shoot my wedding, because they are sooooooooo...

One Last Edited Image

This picture was almost unusable when straight from the photographer, so you have no idea how excited I was to crop this image and brighten it up! I just thought it was so sweet the way that Justin is holding my hand and walking out into the sunset. (No comment...

Margaret Whiting

If I had known about Margaret Whiting when I got married, you can bet that I would have included her in my reception playlist. I just stumbled upon "Time After Time", and I love it. You should go give it a listen....

Editing Wedding Pictures

Julia Child

Five Month Update

Justin and I have been up to no good in the past week. I'm currently in the process of putting together an instagram photo album of our trip to Charleston. I bought a really cute little book made out of palm leaves that I cannot wait to fill. I will be using Printstagram to print the photos in little 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares. However, printing with this company means that all of my photos need to be...

Charleston: Foods Review

One of the BIG things Justin and I share is that we love to try new restaurants. (Justin, probably more than me since he isn't as picky in what he eats.) A lot of time was spent scouring the internet for the best eats in Charleston. What better place to explore restaurants? 1. S.N.O.B. (Slightly North of Broad) - This is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. No matter what we order, we always...
