Talk about a busy 6 months! Dave & I were engaged on February 13th and it has been a whirlwind of planning & organizing ever since! What’s been really fun is actually getting to be the bride! I love weddings. When my sister got married I was her wedding planner & fell in love with the process. I loved shopping venues & talking with vendors about flowers, decor & food…I love the idea of taking something I have in my head & turning it into this amazing celebration for other people to enjoy (probably why I love photographing weddings so much!)…& now it’s my turn! While it has been exceptionally busy around the Finazzo/Fox household this past 6 months…promotion to Senior Packaging Engineer at work! Photo sessions! Twins games! My Cousin’s wedding in St. Louis! Iluminate Books book signings! The Social 360! Christopher Straub Fashion Show! Photographing my summer weddings! Social Butterfly! Matilda Jane Trunk Show! My sister’s 30th! Glamorama! My wedding showers! Bachlorette!…planning a wedding on top of everything else has all been very much worth it, Dave & I will be married this coming weekend!
Most of the wall decor around my home are pieces of art that I have painted. Yes, if I had more time I would be painting, painting, painting…maybe after the wedding? In any case, I was so excited for Dave & I to have our engagement photos taken! I’m rarely on the other side of the camera, well, except when Christina & I are playing at the studio…I can’t believe how much planning it took to get ready for our engagement pictures! What were we going to wear? What was I going to do with my hair? What’s Dave going to wear? The list went on & on! For as much planning as it took we had so much FUN with our engagement pictures & I was so happy with how they turned out (thank you Amber Procaccini!)!
More than anything I wanted to get some images up in our house from our engagement session. How silly is it that as a photographer I don’t have that many photos up? Not anymore! The image below was my favorite one so I had it blown up and mounted over my fireplace. This is SOOO easy to do and I think it makes such an impact in the room! I have several other walls I plan on converting to photography walls once we get our wedding pictures back so stay tuned for more decor picts!
For the next two weeks or so posts will be few and far between as we count down to the last couple of days before we walk down the aisle and then take off for what I am calling our “mini-moon”! After that Photography Sessions and weddings start back up again for the Fall the first weekend in September! If you haven’t signed up for the Holiday Mini Sessions yet (September 26th & October 17th) send me an email! Let’s get you on the calendar this week!
Jenny was my first client when she was pregnant with Jordan. How fun it has been to work with her as her family is growing!
