Spoiler alert - weather in Ohio is unpredictable. Obviously that's the case in many other places. My wedding rehearsal (October 3rd) was 70 degrees and thunder storming. My wedding day weather was calling for rain until 10am and overcast and chilly throughout the rest of the day. WELL. That isn't how it happened...
Read MoreSo here we are, wrapping up a week full of great content and helpful tips from some of Youngstown's own wedding professionals. I'm so thankful for all of you who have been tuning in and especially thankful for my friends in the industry who took the time to share a small bit of their expertise on my blog! I'm sad that the week is coming to an end, but today, I'm beyond thrilled to introduce ya'll to my girl, Jenn. We have been friends for YEARS, and I'm sure some of you who've followed me for a while recognize her beautiful face! We shoot together every now and then and let me just say, she's seriously a perfect model. I mean, she's obviously gorgeous. But she's also down for whatever crazy ideas I have and just rolls with it like it ain't no thang (loooove her). Once she started in the wedding industry, I was jumping with joy because she is a perfect fit for working with brides, giving them a great experience and helping them navigate their way through tons of tulle, lace, bling and veils to finally find the wedding gown of their dreams!...
Read MoreHappy Wednesday! We're right in the middle of Guest Blog Week and today I'm so happy in introduce Kristin to ya'll! She owns Addressed in White and works with brides to create custom invitations. She's also a bomb ass calligrapher and painter! I met Kristin last year through some other local wedding vendors when I was searching for a stationary expert to collab with for my styled shoot. She totally fit the bill, not only as a great artist but she is seriously such a kind person and friend! She did a REALLY amazing job. I mean, she hand painted succulents and literally took my ideas out of my own head and created a beautiful set for my shoot. I'm talking total wizard status. She's got some serious talent!...
Read MoreToday on the blog is Emily Rusu of Jet Weddings. She is one half of a husband and wife team that shoots weddings here in Youngstown, Ohio. I actually met Emily YEARS ago in college, so our collaborating days go waaaaay back. We were both a part of an internship at Youngstown State University to redesign and add new content for the STEM website. Years went by after we graduated where we hadn't seen each other and then we reconnected through our local Tuesday's Together chapter. I love that we're in the same industry all these years later! We get more chances to work together and I absolutely love it! Her and Bill are so laid back, fun and seriously so easy to work with. So I'm just so thrilled that Emily is sharing her knowledge on the blog today!!...
