WOW!  In the six years we have been in business, I have never seen wedding pictures turn out so good!  You did an awesome job!  I always try to look at each Bride and Groom’s wedding proofs online and each time they may have three or four really good pictures.  I was completely blown away when looking at Emily and Matt proofs! … We are in the process of creating a new website.  I was wondering if I could have some of the photos to put on my new site?

It was kind of shooting fish in a barrel at the House Mountain Inn, it was so beautiful every direction I looked!

And its really true – if your feet are not happy, you will be miserable! Thats why I was so psyched to see these new shoes from Cole Haan featuring Nike Air technology. Bonus – how cute are they!?

You can find them and many more here at Neiman Marcus!

I first had her cake at Debbie and Timi’s wedding in 2004.

Not only were the cakes beautifully decorated,

they were the best cakes I had ever tasted!!  Did I mention cakes, plural?  Debbie was so impressed with her cakes she got two since she couldn’t make up her mind!  (Debbie, right there with you!)   I was lucky enough to have a huge piece of the most amazingly moist key lime cake and a little nibble of the chocolate cake remains (there were not many remains!)  If you’re in the DC metro area, I urge you to put Loretta on your list of cake people to try.  You’ll be glad you did!
