For months, Caitlin and Seth have been under the same sky, looking at the same moon… but in less than 24 hours they would be welcoming the same sunrise anticipating a beautiful wedding day. Caitlin met Seth in the most unexpected way. Coming home from class, tired and worn out, she found a stranger sleeping in her bed. A friend of a friend of her roommate. Little did she know, he would be no stranger for long. A kind gesture showed her how much he adored her… loved her.
Across the ocean, Seth worked, travelled and planned a big surprise. Home for the holidays on Christmas eve, Seth wrapped a special gift with layers of wrapping paper and boxes. She opened over and over again to reveal four little words and eventually… a beautiful ring. Tears of joy and cheers from the family, she said yes.
For all the things
my hands have held
the best by far is you.
darling,
SHINE
that’s all.
How beautiful will this bride be tomorrow? ; )
Caitlin & Seth: How time flies! Tomorrow will be here sooner than we think…so I’m sending my warmest, sincerest wishes in advance for an awesome tomorrow : )
Here’s to a blessed, sun shining day.

Summer, southern traditions and white magnolias…. just a few things to make this the Wedding of the year… as they say. This was the wedding celebration where almost everyone in the area came in their summer attire and sandals to witness a long awaited unity of two very sweet individuals, Allie and John. A reunion of sorts and a day of so much LOVE. What better than to have a huge block party, under the stately trees, cafe lights, music and old friends?!
I can’t think of anything but a beautiful garden ceremony and a dancing-all-night-long-under-the-stars kind of reception : )
Together, is a beautiful place to be.
The most delicate lace.
A beautiful La Sposa mermaid dress in petit pois tulle, lace appliqués and gemstone embroidery. Bodice with sweetheart neckline. And a romantic bolero in petit pois tulle with off-the-shoulder neckline and short sleeves, decorated with guipure appliqués. Style ‘Idde’.
So classically romantic.
The image of grace and beauty.
THE most laid back bridal party ever! Seriously!
Simple summer blooms, handpicked from gardens.

Beautiful southern ladies with fair magnolias. They carried hand tied bouquets accented with cream satin ribbons. Each delicately embroidered with their initial.
LOVE is
…come rain or shine
First look
Grab her sometimes,
and dance
with her.
With no music,
randomly on the street.
Dance.
Taking a moment to let everything sink in…
He grabbed her
in his arms
and that’s all
she ever needed.

Kiss me
under the light
of thousand stars
