Today’s post is the second half of a mini series talking about the wedding traditions Colton and decided just weren’t for us. We both loved and hated the wedding planning process.

Part one of the mini series focused on the traditions … Continue reading Wedding Traditions We Broke, Part 2
I’m so excited my favorite time of the year is finally here! Christmas has always been the time of year I look forward to… hot cocoa by the fire, Christmas carols on the radio, Christmas movies on the TV, decorating the trees, and giving presents.

A honeymoon photoshoot isn’t something I hear a lot about in the wedding world, so I thought, “why not?” As soon as we decided on the honeymoon destination and booked our hotel, I started searching … Continue reading Why You Should Do A Honeymoon Photoshoot
Well, here we are two weeks after my wedding! May 19, 2018 marked the beginning of my new life as Mrs. Whitmire. The wedding was, in a word, perfect.
