Did you know May 25th is National Wine Day?  Neither did we, but that didn't stop Rebecca and Chris from throwing a wine-themed wedding on that day this year!  (Side note - don't you think the purple lanterns look like big, billowing clusters of grapes?  That was totally on purpose.)  I had a blast getting to know this couple (they are hysterical and I'm hoping I can get Rebecca to teach me how to scuba dive!) and am so honored that they included me in their big day. As usual, the...

Sean and Joe called me just 3 weeks before their reception; they needed a pinch hitter to come in and take over so they could just relax and enjoy themselves.  The gentlemen had actually already tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Cape Cod earlier, so they just wanted to throw a big party for their friends back home (mission accomplished, I'd say!).

No wait, let me clarify:...

I was thrilled to be on the same team as a great group of wedding vendors. Adam and Katie and Le Meridien in Center City Philadelphia were a dream to work with (and if you haven't seen that venue, do yourself...

[caption id="attachment_614" align="alignright" width="300"] Photo by Philip Gabriel Photography[/caption] Friends and followers - hello again!  Since my last update in March, I wrapped up a couple big ol' events.  Sorry for being away for so long! I'll post a longer story about Jacob and Nehama's spring wedding once the beautiful photos come back from the genius photographer, but until that moment comes you can enjoy the video below.

There have been more than a few flurries since Janice and Allen celebrated their commitment during a June heatwave, but there's no time like the present to post some photos and thanks. Thanks, of course, to Janice and Allen to inviting me to be their wedding planner.  It was a thrill watching Janice walk down the "aisle" (a hidden path along the pond) and seeing their first dance to Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life." [slideshare id=6305512&doc=janiceandallen-101222135653-phpapp02] Special thanks to Chrissy K for beautifully shooting this nontraditional, outdoor wedding and sharing the...
