What is your favorite store or brand?

I adore West Elm and JCrew. I love the combination of patterns, solids in addition to their love for fun accent colors in the midst of your classic colors such as ivory and grey.

What is your favorite thing about weddings?

Vows. All. Day. Long. This love and exchange of vows is what the day is all about, friends. I am fortunate enough to get to know some amazing couples leading up to their wedding day, and when I get to capture this moment of promise to one another I am overwhelmed with happiness.

What qualities do you possess that enable you to work well with brides and grooms?

I am a long-term relationship kind of girl. I have this desire to get to know each and every one of my clients – I want to know how they met, how they fell in love and what their favorite food is. I am so grateful that I meet such kind, full of love people everyday that want me to document their love – getting to know my clients and becoming genuine friends with them not only allows them to feel comfortable in front of the camera but I am able to do my job that much better in capturing their personalities.

What steps do you take to ensure that your clients will have amazing wedding days when working with you?

Every bride and groom (and their parents) are different. I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure I do what I can to make their day amazing. Some of my brides are unsure as to when they should take certain photos. In this case, I am happy to meet with them and help create a timeline. I also have some moms of the bride and groom that need me re-assure them that the florals they picked are a good choice – not necessarily my typical request but it has happened! To me, my job is to create lasting, honest relationships and to help ensure my clients have a beautifully documented wedding day. If my bride emails me three shoe options asking which to pick, then to me, I’ve done my job in creating that friendship and I am beyond flattered they value my opinion.

I’m a big fan of using coasters as an extra wedding detail. They add a pop of color and have the potential to be incredibly fun- plus, guests love them too!

Detail To Love: Coasters! via TheELD.com

Of course coasters aren’t a *necessary* detail for your wedding, but they’re a nice extra! Having coasters custom-made to match your colors, style, and wedding design is the best bet and the most fun, but there are even generic coasters that you could use too. You could probably even make some if you felt like DIYing, and coasters could double as wedding favors too!

So what do you think about using coasters as a wedding detail? Are any of you going to do an extra detail like this?

From Roey:

“Classic” was another difficult perspective to encapsulate.  I determined that to me “Classic” was another way to describe traditional, and when I originally thought traditional I though of a understated ballroom wedding. The subtle dusty rose and white floral printed table cloth (touched with gold velvet accents), low florals in mercury vessels combined with the height of the wooden based babies breath arrangements, vintage bronze taper candle holders and minor lace detail around the silverware captured the feminine “Classic” tablescape concept we were trying to execute. It was simple, yet elegant, as classic should be. 

And we have a great behind-the-scenes video of this whole inspiration miniseries from McKenzie Miller Films! It’s so fun to see all of the fabulous vendors from this series in action! Check it out!
