Favorites of 2015

We worked on so many amazing this year and had the absolute best couples we could've hoped for. It made picking favorites very difficult, but here we are! We're looking at everything from our own designs, so some of our favorite shots captured by all the incredible photographers we were lucky enough to work with! I hope you like taking a look back at our year as much as we have. A huge thank you to all of those who have been such huge supporters of this growing little business! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Whimsical Fuchsia and Gold Wedding

Get excited for this one people! This wedding was incredibly fun and the bride and groom were an absolute blast to work with. When the bride whipped a spray painted gold dinosaur planter out of her purse within minutes of us officially meeting, I knew we would be a perfect fit for each other. She wanted their wedding to be a fun, family-filled weekend, and she got exactly that! Festivities started Friday with a grade school style field day, pitting the bride's family against the groom's. They took a break for lunch then got back at it with their own version of the Washington Post's "Post Hunt," which they avidly compete in every year (check out their mention in the Post's article, here). They then moved on to the more traditional wedding activities, like the rehearsal and dinner. The next day though, things got crankin' at the reception, with two photo booths, dinosaur accent decor, monster finger puppet escort cards, lottery ticket favors, and a peacock made of spoons and chopsticks! It was such an incredibly fun wedding and I'm so glad you stopped by to check it out! Enjoy!

Little Black Dress Bridal Shower

This bridal shower was the ideal mix of elegance and fun! The venue, Pamela Jane's Studio, is so incredibly gorgeous and perfectly fit the "little black dress" theme. Because of this, there wasn't a big need for decor, but spicing up the black and white color scheme with a bit of hot pink was so fun! Enjoy!

Plum and Gold Wedding

This year was full of special weddings for the HTE team! First, my brother got married, and then, my very best friend in the world got married!! I had such a great time playing the role of planner/coordinator/florist/matron of honor for her. We started planning together from the very start and knowing her as well as I do made the planning all that much more fun! We planned a gorgeous, outdoor ceremony with a barn reception for the first weekend in October, and the weather was supposed to be perfect. And then Hurricane Joaquin hit. And then it was raining and in the low 50's. We weren't going to let a silly little thing like a hurricane stop us though, so we got cute rain boots, matching umbrellas, and moved the ceremony inside. Everything still turned out beautifully and you can barely tell how cold we are in our sun dresses! This wedding was definitely one of my favorites to date. Love this girl and her groom to pieces!!!! Enjoy....and I pre-apologize for the amount of pictures in this one! I just couldn't narrow it down any further!





















Me and my main squeeze

These two have entirely too much fun together
