We had all kids of fun exploring around Melissa’s home.  I am so looking forward to this wedding.  We’ll start off with a strange shot.

This patch of dirt is where their wedding reception is going to be. :)  They are having their ceremony at a church and then we are all heading over to her home for a laid back intimate reception. (Including Mug Machine!)  In the next few months a pavilion is going to be built in this spot and I hope to be able to re-shot this with them in their wedding clothes and all kinds of fun wedding stuff happening around them. :)

We also explored the hay barn.  I almost sat Melissa in raccoon poop. :)

Can’t wait for your wedding!  Thanks for a great session.

These two met while performing a a local theater. Where else would we go for their engagement session?

Each cast signs the wall backstage.  Their first show together was Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Thanks for a great session.  You guys were great.  Can’t wait for your wedding at the Villa di Felicita!

I have to be honest. I think I have the best job ever. :) I got home from the State Fair and woke up and went to a golf course. :) Not bad eh.

These two love them some golf so that’s where we started. Jessica has recently taken it up and told me she plans on practicing till she is able to beat Derek. (Sounds like the beginning of a great marriage.)

October was a great month last year.  Perfect weather.  Tons of great sessions.  Many many favorite photos.  Feast your eyes on this bumper crop of stunning imagery.

Today’s tips are on choosing your wedding cake.  Who better than the amazing ladies from Edible Art to help you with this choice. :)  Check out their work.

1)  Plan early- there is nothing more disappointing than to wait until March to plan your June wedding cake to find out the date is already booked.

2)  Have ideas- research/look at pictures on the internet, magazines, do you like square, round cakes, flowers, no flowers, etc..

3)  Make appointment with wedding cake designers-  Have designer look at your picture ideas, listen to your ideas, sketch out your design so both of you have the same vision of your dream cake. Be sure to ask to taste the flavors of cake.  Taste is as important as the design!

4)  Once you have chosen your cake designer- pay a deposit asap and get you wedding date of the books. Brides are so disappointed when they wait 3 months and come back to find another bride booked her wedding date and now the designer cannot create her cake.

5)  Confirm everything 30 days before your big day- Make sure the designer reviews your dream cake and both of you have the same vision.

(A note about Edible Art’s payment plan.  We work with families on these large cake orders.  We have “Cake Lay-a -way” available for wedding/large events.  Once a deposit is made, we are all about working with our brides.  Payments can be made in any amount at any time for the months leading up to the big event. Our only requirement is the cakes be paid in full 10 days before the wedding/event. If their choose to pay a deposit and wait until then to pay that is ok too.  Ask your bakery about a payment plan to help you get your dream cake.)
