Engagement session- Northern California wedding

I would like to introduce you to our photographer, Charleton Churchill. I stumbled on to his blog when he was just starting out as a full time photographer and I wasn’t even thinking about planning a wedding yet. I have thought from the very beginning that his artistic skills with a camera are amazing and he was the first person we hired when we got engaged. Continue reading

How to Make Tea Stained Paper Doilies- Bride Blogger, Amber

Northern California Wedding Blogger, Amber—The Wedding Cracker

One of the projects I plan on starting this week is to work on our wedding favors. In my opinion wedding favors should have meaning behind them.
