It’s about time I gave my blog a little love. These were from Fiona and BJ’s wedding at Georgian Terrace Hotel. You can read more about their story and see their engagement photos here.
We won the 2012 Two Bright Lights Editors’ Choice Award! We’re thankful to have received this award and thankful to two bright lights who have made getting published an easy process for us.
P.S. Really sorry about the lack of updates. I’ve been doing an internet purge / fast for the past few months. Probably not recommended for most businesses to stay away from blogging and social media that long, but it’s been really refreshing. It helps me work more productively, connect with people face to face, spend time with the ppl I love, and even catch up on all the books I’ve missed out on most my life.
We’ve been given the Bride’s Choice Awards from WeddingWire this year. We’d like to give a huge thank you to all our clients – past, present, and future! :)

Happy New Year, everyone!
Instead of doing a year by year resolutions list, a few years ago I put together a 30 before 30 list. I realized over the years, I kept switching them out as I crossed out each goal, which in turn, made me feel like I accomplished nothing. This year, I merged my old list with current goals that I have. It’s my last year to really get these in!

Anyone want to do any of these with me? What are your goals/resolutions?
Carmen and Bob got married at Wild Dunes Resort in Charleston. It was on an island which gave the wedding a much more secluded and intimate feel. Plus, they always dreamed they would have a beach front wedding. They wanted to keep the wedding simple and tasteful, and used red as a primary color – which is a celebratory color in the chinese heritage, Red also comes out beautifully bold for photos and is timeless. They sprinkled a lot of Chinese traditions into an otherwise very Western wedding. The sign in table had a traditional Chinese silk cloth for our guests to sign in. They also started their wedding day with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Family is very important to the both of them and sharing the weekend with the important people in their lives made it most memorable. Jacob and I were very honored that we got to be a part of their special weekend.
