I glanced at this today, and I teared up. I had to post it.
Rebekah & Michael are the winners of my 2010 Free Wedding giveaway. More to come from their wedding in a couple of weeks. I love these two dearly. Happy weekend!

Caroline,
This is absolutely beautiful! You were wonderful to work with at the McBride’s wedding. As one who hates posing for photos (but loves taking them!) I am thrilled to say I had a lot of fun working with you!
Looking forward to seeing the rest! (I am “following” you now, and am constantly blown away by your work!).
Blessings!
Gabrielle R.
(one of the bridesmaids 
)
Jori & Josh’s engagement session was featured on Weddings Unveiled!

Oooh -congrats!
So I’ve decided to skip out on Nutrisystem from now on. Although it has helped me lose weight, it was like $300 a month PLUS I still had to buy my own fruits, veggies, and proteins. A half cup of tortellini and some spaghetti sauce ended up costing around $3.00 and then I came to the conclusion that I could probably buy a package of tortellini and spaghetti sauce at Trader Joe’s for about the same price. not sure why I didn’t think of this before. So I went out and grocery-shopped. I bought things that I like to eat, but will be pre-measuring and preparing them in containers about 5 days at a time. Same idea. MUCH cheaper. MUCH tastier.
With that said, I also have a little bit of a confession. I cheated this week and last week. Not just one time, but a few times. I felt so guilty every time. Yet I constantly kept justifying it to myself with the most ridiculous excuses. I mean, seriously? Why can’t I just stay on track and do what I’m supposed to do? You would think my 10 year high school reunion this November would motivate me, but it just hasn’t. Then November will roll around and I’ll be complaining the whole time about why I couldn’t lose the weight.
START WEIGHT: 217
CURRENT WEIGHT: 212
LBS. LOST SO FAR: 5
GOAL WEIGHT: 145
There it is. The ugly truth. I gained a whopping 4 pounds in only two weeks.
Ugh…

You might remember Dennis & Patricia from this engagement session shot in Charleston, South Carolina. Ever since then, I have been anxiously awaiting the day they would marry. Because of Dennis & Patricia’s ridiculously good looks, most people’s initial reaction when meeting them would be wary and unsure if they were approachable or not. Well it couldn’t be further from the truth. Dennis & Patricia are more selfless than most people I know. They serve together on mission trips, and that in itself, I find to be a truly amazing quality and speaks volumes about them. Let’s start off with some details about who was involved in making their wedding day come together.
Florist: Emanuela Candrianu
Wedding Dress: Pronovias
Wedding Shoes: Custom order (imitation Rihanna)
Veil: Handmade by bride (buttons were handed down from mom)
Hair Piece: Bridal Couture
Garter Belt: Florrie Mitton
Groom’s Attire: Burberry shirt & Theory suit
Ring Bearer Pillow: Peppermint Cloud
Wood Candles: The Bent Tree Gallery
Painting Artist: Cosmin Lucaciu
Videography: Aaron and Winston Tao
Also, a special “thank you” to my husband Alin for working his butt off all day and helping me out. Another special “thank you” goes out to my sister-in-law, Otilia for organizing the many family formal shots to go quicker and smoother. Thank you both!
please do not copy, alter, or print images. you may use the images on your personal blog, Facebook, MySpace or any other social networking site as long as the watermark is left on the image and you provide a link back to my website.
