Amy and Stephen - June 16, 2012



Amy and Stephen were married on June 16, 2012.  Their ceremony took place in Saint Pius X Church in Loudonville and their reception was held at Pat's Barn in Troy.  I was connected with this couple through their caterer, Black Diamond Catering, as the bride and groom were looking for day-of wedding coordination service.  Upon meeting Amy and her mom I instantly fell in love with them!  The bride has a smart sense of humor and was so real about her day, keeping all priorities in perspective and not allowing herself to get trapped in a single bridezilla moment.  I didn't meet Stephen until the wedding day but quickly saw how his personality perfectly connected with Amy's.  They are both sweet and humble people who have a true love of family and of each other.

Joining me at this wedding were some wonderful vendors!  The was my first time working with photographer Andrea Casey and we had a blast together.  Thank you Andrea for sharing these beautiful images with me!  Michael and Heidi and the team at Black Diamond Catering provided ridiculously delicious food at the reception, and DJ Claude Sawyer from LaBoom Entertainment kept the dance floor hopping.  Oh and these absolutely beautiful bouquets were made by The Flower Girl in Watervliet.  Love the fresh colors!

I want to thank Amy and Stephen for allowing me to share in their big day.  You two are perfect for one another and I can predict you will have a million happy years of marriage together.  Congrats!!

Custom Made Escort Boards



Most brides are looking for fun an creative ways to personalize their wedding, and what better way to make a memorable impact on your guests than to display their seating assignments on your own custom made escort board.  These boards can be made in the colors of your event, include your own monogram or wedding logo, and can include personal elements or photos of you (a great way to display a photo from your engagement shoot).  Better yet these boards save on wasted paper over the standard tented place cards and after the night is over this board can hang as framed art in your home and a visible memory of all of the guests who attended your big day.  




The two boards above were designed by graphic artist Adam Anson who does all the custom boards for WPP clients.  In addition to the escort boards Adam can also design matching table numbers to create a cohesive design look to your wedding reception.  Options for colors and designs are endless!

If you are in the market for one of these we can help - just email me and I will get your started and on your way to having your own custom escort board at your big event.
