wedding :: alanna and ben

(photo credit: Blue Olive Photography)

Alanna and Ben's wedding was the last one of the 2009 season. As you can tell, I have been saving the wedding pictures for a while. This was partly due to me having trouble choosing just 5 images to show you and partly due to our summer hiatus. You have to admit though, that it was well worth the wait!


I am all for couples who think outside the box. Hot pink and black wedding colours? Love it! Pulled pork and BBQ ribs? Sure! Individual bibs for guests to wear which you can personalize with a sharpie? I think my heart just skipped a beat!


Lyndsay from Coco Cake Cupcakes made the cupcake wedding favours and the bride and groom made the cute little monkey wedding cake topper too!


The Flower Factory did an amazing job on the floral centerpieces!


Thank for all of the fun times! Wishing you lots of happiness in your new life together. Thanks so much for the opportunity to be a part of your special day!

the stuff I make

100% wool apple cozies - no more bruising!

I needed product photos pronto last week for a few things including my bio page on the Craft Mafia website (not up yet). I had a few weeks to get them done and tried to take some pictures during the brief moments that the sun was out, but it just wasn't happening. Indie I Do was quickly approaching as well, so I kept saying that I would worry about it after the event. Well, the event ended and I had 5 days - Eeep! This is where M&R from Blue Olive Photography (with their assistants Luna and Darwin) came in.

Everything turned out gorgeous! Thank you! Thank you!
