This February we had the great opportunity to travel with our friends Jenyne & Jeff to Park City, Utah to document their winter wedding weekend (say that 10 times fast!) There's so much to share that was lovely that I'll be breaking this into three parts. First up - Day 1! (welllllll... a few of these are from the end of trip - but they all fall into the personal and/or scenic category - so I'm lumping them together here.)

Our introduction to this magical place...


Jenyne + Jeff

Wedding

February 11, 2010

Park City, UT



We passed this scene every day on our way to Deer Valley - where the wedding activities were held. It was just too perfect to pass up!



This was our coldest day - filled with non-stop snow!. (This trip was Charles' FIRST TIME seeing snow! Well, aside from a small flurry of nothingness in Tallahassee back in college...) The rest of our trip was filled with mostly blue skies and sunshine...



Like this :)



Wouldn't this be a beautiful place for a ceremony, surrounded by snow-capped mountains year-round?



Looking out from Deer Valley Resort.



And because you all say we never post personal pictures (with good reason, ahem!) - here we are in our *matching* coats - LOL! (Charles is going to kill me for sharing this - he wouldn't let us wear them at the same time except for this picture!)



And my (*cough* heavily retouched *cough*) mug. WHAT?! Don't you believe that I have perfect skin and incredibly bright sparkling eyes?! ;)



While we were in Park City we managed to squeeze in sledding, skiing, and two snowmobiling trips - all safely following the wedding day, just in case ;)



And since we are never in a photo together on these trips - this has become a new tradition...



Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where you'll finally meet our newlyweds!

Happy Monday, Readers! We're kicking off this week right with our newest wedding - Hot Off the Press! Enjoy the lovely Pensacola wedding of Stephanie + Paul.


Stephanie + Paul

Wedding

February 27, 2010

Pensacola, FL







A handsome couple.









Charles' take on the lighting of the unity candle. I dig it.



All smiles.



We had about 15 minutes with the newlyweds and bridal party following church formals and before their grand entrance into the reception (following cocktail hour.) We put our time to good use at a nearby office park downtown. I'm a huge fan of the colors and architecture!













Then it was onto a beautifully decorated Jackson's for dinner and dancing.





Stephanie carried her color palette of black and white with bold pops of green throughout the space...



...including this totally FAB candy and dessert bar. This gets a smarty pants award for being the best execution EVER!





How great are these cakes?!







A festive confetti poppers send-off to end the night with a bang! Congratulations Newlyweds!

Hello, Friday friends! Welcome to the 10th edition of Three to Share! That means I've shared 30 bits of goodness with you over the last several months! If you've missed any of those posts, follow this link and you can catch up! :)

I'm nuts for fonts! And, lucky for me – and all of you out there that share this obsession – Amanda Bottoms, of KevinandAmanda.com, makes it easy for us to indulge with her site Fonts for Peas! She specializes in handwritten fonts, which I particularly love. And the coolest part? You can submit your very own penmanship and she'll turn it into a font for FREE... if it's cute enough! If your handwriting is not cute, no worries – there are hundreds of fonts and doodles available for download at absolutely no cost! If you need to create personalized print pieces for your next event, consider using a fun font from Amanda. It'll make your creation totally personalized and super adorable!

I also want to mention that Amanda's blog is one of my favorites to read. She's a fellow Southern gal that loves scrapbooking, cooking and photography. Her writing voice is very friendly and I've learned a lot. She recently taught her readers how to wear a scarf – something this South-Florida-transplant has been wrestling with this past cold season! Oh, and check out her scrapbook room, it's to die for!


I absolutely, unequivocally, *adore* Sweet Tomatoes. My husband and I ate here religiously when we were at college in Orlando. We sat in the same booth, we had the same, lovely server every time. Until one day, we went to pay as usual and the cashier told us that our meal had already been taken care of... Huh? That's when we learned that our server-friend was leaving due to family matters and she just wanted to treat us. Her kindness was never lost on us. I'm telling you, this restaurant is good for the soul and for the tummy! Why we don't have any within a 500-mile radius is beyond me.

If you're not familiar, Sweet Tomatoes (or Souplantation, in some areas) is an awesome salad bar and buffet of sorts. Here, you could create the salad of your dreams with over 50 fresh ingredients or just have one of their specialty prepared salads (that's what we did). In addition, they offer hot pastas, oh-so-good soups, fresh muffins (the blueberry is soooo good!), and Focaccia breads. It's so not your average buffet experience. You can make good choices here or indulge a little and still leave feeling light and satisfied. I LOVE this place! If you are familiar, I hope you've had wonderful experiences there as well. I'm wondering how I go about bringing one to our area? ;)


Spoon Sisters is another one of my go-to places to shop for unique gifts. They have an extensive collection of products ranging funky to functional. Really cool stuff for your friends and every member of your family. With Easter and Mother's Day around the corner, you'll definitely want to check 'em out!


Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful weekend!

Brandi & Nick hosted a Nawlins' style throwdown in March of last year. We recently shared Brandi's New Orleans bridal session. We also had the privilege of working with them on their Pensacola Beach engagement session, and joined them for the wedding day celebration.



Meg started the morning with Brandi. A few getting ready details.

New Orleans, LA | New Orleans Wedding Photography | Audubon Tea Room Wedding







I joined up with Nick & the guys to documents their morning.





Fleur de lis cuff links.



In case you been hiding under a rock, New Orleans has some of the most incredible cathedrals you will ever see. This particular New Orleans church is called St. John the Baptist.













You may now kiss the bride.



All the pretty details on this cake were stunning.



I'm a big fan of Nick's "all in" Texas Hold 'Em grooms cake. Whaddyaknow - I got to mention poker in back-to-back posts! :-)



The Audubon Tea Room really sparkles at night.





After the reception ended, we hit the streets of New Orleans for a few night shots. These shots were taken on the historic Canal Street in New Orleans.



Congratulations Brandi & Nick! We couldn't have had such a fantastic 2009 without you!
