winner winner!

I wouldn’t be a good business owner if I didn’t have goals. Goals push you forward and force you to grow. I’ve had a running list of business/career goals scribbled on my favorite work notebook for years now and I keep adding to it and thankfully crossing items off of the list as I celebrate…

real wedding: alex & shah 5/9/2014

real wedding: jamie & dj 7/12/2013

I am very lucky that over the years I have spent nearly nothing on advertising. All of my business comes from referrals, which is so personal to me. When a past couple refers me to another couple, it is a huge compliment! Jamie and DJ were given my name by Branden (a past groom from 2011)…
