Lauren and Devon's wedding was incredible to be a part of. Full of wonderful mint and peach details and hidden firefighter gems, we couldn't stop oohing and ahhing as we were setting up for their big day! Not only was Sweetwater Branch Inn the perfect setting, we got to work with some wonderful vendors that made the day such a treat. We especially loved these images that Krystal at Verve Studios was sweet enough to share with us! Also, a big thanks for catching some of me in action!! :) Images by Verve Studios I call these lovely ladies my "A-Team" for a reason - they are THE BEST at what they do! Meet Lisa from Graceful Strands and Kara Winslow, Makeup Artist . They kept Lauren and her ladies laughing all morning and made them shine with gorgeousness! I do a happy dance every time we get to work together. Images by  Verve Studios Lauren's garters were custom embroidered and made from Firefighter jacket material. Devon's a local firefighter here in Gainesvi...

Yes, Gainesville, Florida certainly is a small town with a rather large Football problem, and make no mistake, that's how we love it! (Go Gators!!!) However, if necessity or choice dictates that you plan your wedding to be during this 4 month long city holiday, you'll need some pointers to help you survive with all your wedding awesomeness in tact. image by Russell Martin Photography First: Check the Football Schedule , then Weigh the Pro's and Con's of picking a Home Game for your wedding date Pro's: Many alumni who may also be getting married, often prefer to be in the heart of the Swamp for home games, so you'll have an easier time booking vendors, getting the venue you want (as long as it's not on campus) and the roads will be completely clear during game time. Con's: For home games, the population of our town literally triples. This means that hotels from Ocala to Lake-City sellout and double or triple their prices. This will be a concern for you...
