McKenna and Brady were married in Southlake Texas, near Dallas.
It was so hard for me to pick just a few pictures!
The pictures, taken by Erin Melissa Lawlor, are so romantic and whimsical. Erin Melissa, from Nashville, made the trip out to photograph the vintage inspired wedding.

The wedding was on a $10,000 budget. The couple penny pinched and used a wedding planner in the process to help make this fabulous budget wedding a success. Every detail, from the flowers in McKenna's hair down to her shoes, were perfect.

Loren &  Jessica will be tying the knot this March and Love Blooms will get to be a part of the wedding!
Their Engagement shoot was shot in Washington by Heather Olson of Holson Photography. Heather has such an eye for detail and catches intimate moments. That's what makes her pictures beautiful.

It’s hard getting a ton of pictures in a limited amount of time. And to get the picture you WANT is even harder. “But how can I get the pictures I want?” You may ask. Here are our suggestions:

1.    Make sure you get the right photographer. Look through their look books and see if its what you are “looking for”

2.    Pick out pictures from their portfolio that you like.

3.    Find pictures on the web that you like, print them out, and show them to the photographer. This gives them a better idea that you are looking for.

Just keep in mind; you don’t have all day to take pictures. An idea we see a lot of brides doing, taking more pictures another day. You have the dress, re-rent the tux, and see if the photographer will do a discount to do an additional day. Yes, your hair will be different, and your makeup may change, but pictures last a lifetime, more is better than less.

The Concord wedding show was a success!  I saw at least 40 brides, there was a fashion show, and the cupcake and hair giveaway were a hit.  And the free hair updo goes to...Sarah!
