The Freak Out Moments

  • What Nobody Sees...

realizing a lot lately that this blog really only shows the best of me. What blogger or photographer would ever want to show their ugly side to EVERYONE following their work?

I actually PREFER to shoot DIY weddings over large budget weddings because there is so much more character shown through those details.  When a bride gets creative, it automatically makes her wedding day unique to her. DIY projects are the way to go! Today I’m going to explain how easy it is to create awesome labels that fit your theme and can really take a display from just ok to AMAZING!
