Just wanted to pop in and let you know that a photo from Jen + Brent’s wedding is being featured on Landlocked Bride today!
Don’t you just love Jen’s blue shoes?
St. Louis, MO-based Landlocked Bride, run by Brit, aka Miss Argyle from Weddingbee, is a great inspiration blog featuring only Midwest weddings and vendors. Leave some love over there for Brit!
I’ll see what I can do about getting some more photos from this wedding up soon.
You’re a doll! It was my pleasure to feature these wonderful blue shoes! Thanks for sending them my way!August 31, 2010 – 9:36 pm

Amelia and Mike are one of those couples — He was in the military, so their original ceremony had to be short and sweet before his deployment. Once he came home, safe and sound, they set about to planning their wedding. And what a wedding it was! Amelia’s sister made her wedding gown. Some minor alterations had to be done at the last minute … as in, Amelia was literally sewed into her dress!
At the ceremony, there was such a sense of peace and “rightness” about this wedding. You can see the look on the priest’s face (and the best man’s, and the maid of honor’s), “It’s about time we made this marriage officially official!”
They exited the church in a shower of bubbles …
… and directed the bridal party to change into their reception footwear!
Their June wedding day was a little drizzly, but Amelia and Mike were so laid back about the whole thing.
Congrats, lovebirds! Thanks for letting me celebrate with you.
I took some pics of Amelia and Mike with Mike’s family a few months before, and it was great to reunite with them at the wedding!
Ceremony: Lord of Life Lutheran; Linworth, Ohio
Reception: The Vault; Columbus, Ohio

Since debuting my new logo (designed by Brooke of Claremont Road and Curious and Company) a few months ago, I’ve been handing people outdated business cards. I just hadn’t had a chance to get new ones made up!
I had initially wanted to get letterpress cards, but have you checked out the price of letterpress lately? With my logo, which is hand-drawn, I’d need to get custom places made and that is expensive. I’d rather put my cash into gear at this point.
Instead, I purchased some custom rubber stamps from Rubberstamps.com.
They turned out great! The handle on the biggest stamp is cool, but if I could do it over again, I wouldn’t pay the extra $3 for it. I tend to hold the stamps by their edges anyway.
Fortunately, I already had a light green ink pad. The only other thing I needed to buy were the cards themselves. I decided on thick, 220-weight Crane Lettra for the cards, and purchased them from a local letterpress shop, Igloo Letterpress, so I wouldn’t have to buy a full pack of paper. You can’t really tell from the photo below, but they’re so lovely to hold! I was a little worried that the thickness of the paper would cause the ink to bleed, but it actually takes the ink very well.
Next time you see me, don’t hesitate to ask for my card. I’ll hand one over gladly!
Making up these cards is a part of the work I’ve been putting in lately to get my packaging squared away so I can deliver my brides their wedding images in style. I’ll show you the rest before I send out my first wedding of the season.

This makes me want to buy more stamps! I have one tiny one. Although I’ll always have someone print up my cards because I would stress about stamping them straight. Did you think that the stamps were applied straight on the wood? The one I ordered is a bit crooked and it makes me crazy when I stamp it and my wig is tilting to one side. I think I’ll use Rubberstamps.com next time if you liked them.July 8, 2010 – 1:18 pm
I thought mine were pretty straight. I haven’t been stressing too much about making sure they’re exactly straight on the cards, though. I take a little time to line them up and then just plunk ‘em down. July 8, 2010 – 2:09 pm
I’m super busy today, but I just wanted to stop in to bring you a teaser pic from my first wedding of the season. I had weddings to shoot three weekends out of four this month, but next month is a lot slower, so expect more blog posts soon!

Love it! Can’t wait to see the rest!July 6, 2010 – 6:53 am
Really struggling with the words for this post …
But that doesn’t stop me from wishing …
And dreaming …
And cooing …
And just generally longing for one. *sigh*
