{Samaya + Ryan @Tampa Bay Watch}

Succulants and Peonies my two favorites for florals!  I really love the details that Samaya and Ryan planned for their beautiful outdoor wedding at Tampa Bay Watch.  They brought the chapel to the water by using church pews outside.  Saymaya's girls all wore green dresses but whatever color and style they wanted, along with the vintage living room furniture looked right out of an Anthropologie magazine:-)  Mason jars with candles, pink and white florals with a hint of succlants and lace table overlays decorated the reception.  Love love love the lace parasol that matched her full lace dress perfectly!  Their guests traveled from all over the country to be there to celebrate with them and that they did!  Congrats Samaya and Ryan!! xoxoxo

{Lori + Colby @Shephard's Clearwater Beach}

It rained the entire weekend, except just the perfect time for Lori and Colby's ceremony and some beautiful pics on the beach:-)  Sweet and simple with bright pink, orange, and green florals and accents.  Lori looked gorgeous and she walked down the aisle to meet Colby, it was amazing!! xoxoxo

Shaunes + Brian's Super Pano Album

Shanues and Brian's wedding was gorgeous destination wedding in Colorado and I am so exited they just opened it and sent me really great pictures of it in their home!  When we were talking about their album I had a pretty custom idea in mind, and they trusted me and went for it:-)  This is a super wide 8x20 album, so when you open it up the spreads are 16x20.  The cover is a textured see through acrylic that I thought was perfect since their wedding was in snow it looks like the cover is made of ice.  Here's what they thought about it and what it looks like!  

"Carrie,

Well we finally revealed our wedding album and I can't believe we waited 6 days to open the box!  But with an out of town visit back to our home town we had a good excuse for some of those days...

It's so beautiful!  At first the unique 8"x20" size threw Brian off, but as we opened the pages and found the first full page layout with no page breaks came up...WOWZA!  What an impact those shots make and it helped us relive our wedding day all over again.

The green leather bounding matched our touch of green perfectly and pops with our mostly black and white color scheme.  But my favorite part of the outside is the acrylic cover, which reminds me of ice and since our wedding was in Colorado over New Years Eve we had ice and snow and then some!

We've just moved to a new home in Spokane, WA and this is a very welcomed "Housewarming Gift" for us to reminisce about this special day and remind us of all our family and friends who are 1,750 miles away.  A permanent home hasn't been found for the album yet, but we will definitely not be hiding it away on a bookshelf!  We can't thank you enough Carrie for all your wonderful help, expertise and support throughout the whole process. Our expectations were beyond exceeded and we beyond thrilled with the end result of the wedding album to enjoy for many years to come!

God Bless,

Shaunes & Brian Haapala"
