Congratulations Matthew and Lauren! These two college sweethearts said their "I do's" at Eventful at Locust Grove this past weekend. It was a beautiful and incredibly sweet wedding with handmade signs and a custom broach bouquet that included unique and sentimental pins!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with Matthew and Lauren in Rolla, where they both have gone to school. I was given a fabulous tour of campus! :) They are absolutely adorable together, not to mention incredibly sweet! Looking forward to their wedding next June! Congratulations, Matthew and Lauren on your engagement!!

Loved this wedding!!! Beautiful couple, the start of beautiful lives together. Complete with a serenade by the Father of the Bride so sweet it brought tears to the eyes! Congratulations Kevin and Amy!!

Just a few more of the lovely Denita...

It’s always a privilege and a blessing when I have the opportunity to capture a milestone in someone’s life. I’m thankful and I love each and every one of my clients but there is a special sweetness to the moments when you get to be there for someone you personally call friend. Denita, I’m so proud of you Congratulations on your graduation!! :)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s... Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

It makes my heart sing when when a client gives me a handwritten thank you. :-)

This week, my husband and I will celebrate our 13th year together. Our wedding was all red roses and evergreen greens. Perfect for this time of year. We even talked the church into putting up their HUGE Christmas tree a week early. We covered the tree with snowflake ornaments and topped it with a bright star. Even though things didn’t go as exactly as planned (they never do) it was a perfect day. and one that we remember with smiles and celebrate each year.
