Happy anniversary to the Campbells! 🤍✨💍

✨

Last month I had the pleasure of being apart of this gorgeous Bride’s wedding day. Getting to share in the moments that happen before the wedding, when the Bride, bridesmaids, and family are getting ready is so special. This day was no exception. While the Bride and her bridesmaids were preparing for the days events, I witnessed ladies who shared an unbreakable bond. It was clear that they had all been friends for a long time, and had shared in each others ups and downs. They cared so deeply for each other, checking on the other throughout the day and going out of their way to lend a hand. I was in awe of the beauty that was their friendship. These ladies were all so genuinely sweet, humble and loving. They treated me as if I was one of their own, checking in on me throughout the day, telling me all about memories they shared together, and silly stories that made me laugh.
As I was giving the Bride a once-over, making sure everything was perfect, placing one last piece of fashion tape before she walked down the aisle, she was trying to offer me cupcakes for the road. 🤣
If she loves her friends this fiercely and is so welcoming & kind to someone she barely knows, I can only imagine the love that will be shared in this marriage.
Congratulations again to Mr. & Mrs. Hester ❤️

My favorite part of your day is getting to spend it with you. ❤️ For me, there is nothing better than when the Bride sits in my chair.
So honored to be included in this beautiful day. ❤️

Why do I never remember to take photos?? So glad I took a second to snap these! Here’s my yearly(ish) post, reminding you that I’m still out here doing the thing!

Last weekend’s Bride was absolutely stunning!! ✨
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Oxendine! 💕

Hello old friends (and new 😉)!
It has been 351 days since I have last posted here. I must admit that in the last year I have avoided social media. These platforms did not bring me the joy that they once did. I’ve spent more time trying to be present, with my family and clients. It has been quite therapeutic and much needed.
Although I have not been posting I am still here. Answering your emails, messages and phone calls. Following up on inquiries, drafting contracts and scheduling appointments. Traveling to venues. Meeting with Brides, their wedding parties and families.
As always, it is such an honor to be a small part of some of the most important days of your lives.
I can not thank my clients enough for keeping me busy. Referrals are the highest form of compliment and I am so grateful. 🖤
I’m not certain that I will ever post here as often as maybe I once did but I do plan to keep you all updated from time to time.

Be kind. Stay strong.

-Anna
