It’s cool to see things come full circle. This wedding had a few of those “full circle” moments for me…

1) Jen booked a million years ago. Seriously. FOREVER and a day ago. She has been on the books for a L O N G time - so I think I did a double take last month when I flipped the page and saw her name and wedding date at the top of November 2006. Was it here already? Yup.

2) This is standard for us, I guess - but watching a couple go from Just Engaged to Just Married - another “full circle” kind of moment.

3) Tara & David, whom you will meet in a minute, were at the wedding - also our clients (Thanks for the referral Jen!) - their wedding is coming soon. Seeing new clients at another clients wedding - full circle there.

4) My first official client (with a real contract and everything!) back in the day just opened her own hair salon - FUEL on Thomasville Road in Tallahassee - GO SEE HER!!! (No really, her name is Sherrie, although you could also ask for her sister Laura - either will take GREAT care of you and your mane!) Anyway, Jen and her girls got their hair done at Fuel. Seeing my first real client putting the viel on my current client - crazy full circle moment.

5) Jennifer’s coordinator, Libby Smith, also had a hand in my very own wedding - seeing her again is always a full circle moment!

So this one was really special - for these and so many other reasons. Thanks guys, for trusting us so many moons ago to be there when your story came full circle. We love you!

My personal favorite:

Happy Jessica - must’ve been something I said…

Thank you to Jessica for “going there” with me on this one. We set up the shot, and I said it kind of reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with the sleeping pill - so she obliged, and gave me a yawn. I think it’s kinda cool - in a totally fake way:

An ode to the L-O-N-G veil:

Jessica came to the shoot with this setup in mind. I was excited to make her vision a reality; I love it when my clients make me look good!

Looking forward to the wedding at the end of 2006!

Jennifer is back and it is only a matter of hours before she will be a Newlywed!
