Myth Busting Series: Pinterest – Friend or Foe?

Pinterest - Friend or Foe? How do you make sure your photographer understands your vision for your wedding photos? As a wedding photographer, I can tell you that any professional wedding photographer wants you to feel 100% confident in their ability to capture every important moment of your day. We also know that couples prioritize some moments and traditions higher than others. So what do you do? Make a Pinterest board full of things you’ve seen that you like? Make a long shot list that covers ... View Post

Juliane + Jason

Juliane + Jason are hitched! Let's take a look as this sweet couple's big day in Downtown Raleigh! A LOT goes on in downtown Raleigh most weekends and St. Patrick's day weekend was no exception. (PS It's one of my favorites!) A few parades, a couple street closures and a little bit of rain were not going to keep this great couple from enjoying themselves on their wedding day! We started off the day at one of my favorite spots - St Mark's Chapel at Historic Mordecai at the edge of ... View Post

Raleigh Rose Garden – A Featured Styled Shoot

We're talking about Rowan Lane Events' First Styled Shoot! A little behind the scenes action! We are so excited to be featured for the first time on Borrowed & Blue! You guys - I'm not going to lie, this was my first time as a lead on a Styled Shoot! I have worked on a few of these with other vendors but pulling one of these together on your own is quite the task! I love the details of any wedding so this felt like a dream scenario for me but when I realized I was going to have ... View Post

Why Even Have A Timeline?

We're talking about planning a wedding and giving out a little advice about wedding timelines! I've been in the industry for over six years but nothing warms my heart like a great review. This one from 2012 is a great example of why I wanted to be in the event industry. I really wanted to make sure that when it came time for a couple or any client to host a party they would be happy they did so for years to come. Wedding, corporate event, holiday party, bar mitzvah they all have one ... View Post

How to Cut Your Guest List, Like, A Lot

We're talking about planning a wedding and giving out a little advice on how cut that guest list! Wedding costs add up quickly. There are lots of things couples choose to omit or cut back on to reduce costs but the most sure fire way to cut costs is to reduce your guest list. Even with out needing to save money a lot of couples struggle with the guest list. This is totally normal. What isn't normal (though its always nice) is the ability to afford inviting everyone you know. So, you must ... View Post

Raleigh Wedding Planner; Wedding dress

April 3, 2017

Do you even need to buy a wedding dress?

Does walking down the aisle in style mean spending a lot of $$$ on a wedding dress? It doesn't have to. Let's talk about your wedding dress! A lot of my brides are coming to me these days with a clear idea of their budget. They often say the amount they are looking to stay within and then follow that up by saying "but not including the dress." What this means to me (though I do take time to clarify) is - I only have so much to spend on my wedding day but what I wear is important enough not ... View Post

Overall, Kaitlin was the best and most important part of my wedding, because without her it simply would not have happened. Her years of experience have made her an expert in how to navigate the wedding business and how to pull together your perfect wedding.

After two different trips to our rentals vendor to pick our china and linens, we brought Kaitlin...She suggested a table runner that we didn’t know existed ... saved us some money, and got a fake job offer from the vendor for having such great ideas.

The last few months before the wedding were the most relaxed I'd been all year. I should have hired her from the beginning. Her extensive knowledge on all aspects of a wedding was incomparable. She has worked in almost every faction of the industry and really knows her stuff.

Instagram post 17846811997793968 The back on that dress in the foreground and the front of that dress in the background are enough to make anybody swoon. Yeah, I did check that sentence like 4 times to make sure it was right and I'm still not sure if it is but I know they are both lovely! ⁠

Instagram post 18115851025021121 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving - a day we normally spend with a lot of family - and I have to be honest, this one is a little bittersweet for me. Things look very different this year in my world from how they have looked in the past and I have spent a long time coming to terms with that. ⁠
⁠
The truth is even on big important days like Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or even your wedding day things may not be exactly how you imagined but that doesn't need to rule or ruin your day. ⁠
⁠
If you are struggling with hard choices, family dynamics, or just plain decision fatigue we're here for ya. When you're standing in front of your significant other on your wedding everyone else melts away and what's really important becomes so clear. ⁠
⁠
Today I want to express how thankful I am for my #ForeverDate - @SalStammetti - I couldn't do any of this without you and I am so grateful to see you when everything else melts away. ⁠

Instagram post 18114583177004842 It's about to be Thanksgiving but you have no idea when you're going to find the time to make any of those side dishes you promised to bring. I feel you! ⁠
⁠
It may not seem like you'll ever get ahead but I can promise you where there is a will there is a way! With a little guidance, of course. ⁠
⁠
Drop me a line and let me know what you think is holding you back from running your business the way you would like to and check back next week for a little surprise we've cooked up for you! ⁠(see what I did there?!) ⁠

Instagram post 17870437594514272 These two were the epitome of trust. We took a chance and pulled out the umbrellas for this couple's first dance in the rain! They might have looked at me like I was crazy but I smiled and said: "It will be a great memory!" Afterward, it was all any of the guests could talk about. ⁠
⁠
I often fall prey to "do as I say, not as I do" when it comes to business. I encourage my coaching clients to take risks, go big, plan for the future all while sitting securely in my own comfort zone with a big 'ol tub of popcorn. But we can't live there forever. ⁠
⁠
That's why today I'm so thankful for my co-working space at The Locality and my girl @emgreysexton. When I'm in need of a little nudge out of that comfort zone and a big dose of "you got this girl" her coaching and support get me back on track! (yes even a coach needs a coach!) In honor of meeting with Em today and I wanted to write a shoutout to all the ladies out there making. it. happen! We got this. ⁠
