Micah + Hayden

  • A Laboratory Mill Wedding

The very first thing he said after their first look in response to Hayden’s beauty was “I just can’t believe she’s real!”. That’s how amazing she looked. When a wedding day starts off like that, you know you’re in for a real treat! Watching two people like Micah and Hayden commit to loving one another for the rest of their lives is such a beautiful thing. During their ceremony, they included a special tradition that I just loved! They tied a nautical knot in a rope and their officiant, Matt explained the symbolism.

4 Brand New Mini-Guides!!!

  • The 12 Guide Collection is Complete!

Some of you are probably rolling your eyes at me right now! I’m embarrassed. I took a poll over a YEAR ago to see what you all wanted in the FINAL FOUR Mini-Guides! You all gave me amazing feedback and I was so excited to get them done and then…. wedding season happened. And then Conference season happened. And then the Consistency Course happened. Before I knew it, it was 2016 and I was coming up missing my Mini-Guide goal by ONE YEAR!! Oh it makes me mad just thinking about it!

Clean Up Your Blog in 1 Step

  • Ask Anything

Happy Thursday friends! I’m pre-blogging and so I’m sitting here in the midst of a TORNADO warning and that kind of relates to today’s blog post! Sometimes in the midst of wedding season, I get a little carried away and I miss a few steps in the blogging process. The most common step that I skip over accidentally is selecting a “category” for each post! Skipping this step isn’t detrimental to your blogging career, however, if it happens over and over again, your blog can be hard to navigate!
