April + Ian- a peek, while camping
06.30.2011
So we are on the 1st ever, and probably semi-annual BroFam Camping trip.  We are really enjoying this and can I say this trip is probably 100% more fun and more relaxing and more inexpensive than our Disney cruise.
Anyway I am blogging from our camper and never thought I would love this as much as I do.  I was always a hotel kind of girl, that is until I experienced the freedom of this and I know where these sheets have been...if you know what I mean (bleh)
So here are a few from April and Ian's wedding at 701 Whaley.  I will do a full blog post soon. 
We are heading to the beach.  (I will be home soon and catch up soon, promise)  I have a few goals to achieve before we leave...gotta teach my family how to dougie and get some really great camping/Americana pictures,
<3 me

April {Columbia SC bridal session}
06.22.2011
I think there was a 60% chance of rain the day we met for April's bridal session.  We had a great time, as I always do with April.  She is gracious and pleasant and all things Southern and feminine.  April's dress might just be tied for prettiest dress of the year.  The dress was from J. Majors in Charlotte, NC;  one of my very favorite dress boutiques.  April made the birdcage veil and the flower hair clip, and her lovely bouquet was created by American Floral.
April's traditional veil was exquisite.  You don't see veils like that anymore, the intricacy/craftsmanship etc.  Her mother wore the same veil in 1979.  April's Mom told me that in 1979 she found the veil in Fayetteville, NC and it was so perfect and beautiful that she built her whole bridal ensemble around the veil.   Sometimes that is how it happens.  One piece can inspire many others. 
April's hair and make-up was done by Jami Svay out of Charlotte, NC.  Jami does amazing work.  Please check out her blog and client list--- hello!!
