Wedding: E-Sesh!

Here is a link to a sneak peak of my engagement session that was shot not too long ago. It was frigidly cold that day and other than looking a bit "cold" in some photos (in temperature, not emotion) they came out beautifully. I had the opportunity of not only working with my photographer, but he brought along his colleague William who was there to provide some amazing shots as well. These are Williams photos, I will post Chris' photos as soon as possible! Enjoy!

Sacrifices, sacrifices...

A very daunting task of wedding planning has been completed. We have finished printing, creating, and assembling our wedding invites! (I'll post what they look like once majority of them are sent out.) With such a big wedding things had to be sacrificed to keep within budget and sanity. I had to let go of some dreamy things that in a fantasy world/wedding I would've had. So goodbye...

We started to reach crunch time so in the end while I was still pumping out pocketfolds the fiance diligently worked on addressing the invites himself. Thanks dear :)

Sooo I somehow need to send out our wedding invites by April 1st. Throughout the whole DIY wedding invite ordeal we have managed to wear down our equipment to the bone...we've needed to order a new printer and last night my sewing machine decided to crap out on me as well. I believe I just need to oil my machine...so I'm going out this evening to pick some up from the fabric store. Lets hope that fixes it...otherwise I don't know how I shall "make it work."
