Details & Discounts

Bridezilla (1) n. a bride-to-be who focuses so much on the event (DETAILS) that she becomes difficult and obnoxious.

Growing up most girls spend their life dreaming of their wedding day and take turns dressing up as the Bride… my sister Lori and I, on the other hand, were busy photographing our lives – animals, plants, vacations, trips to Disney, ect. I guess you could say we were practicing for our roles in life as photographers... I never realized how young we were when our passion for photography started until we were going through all the boxes of family photos. The majority of the photos we found from childhood were of our animals (tons of kitten shots) and the other half had someone’s head cut off.
As I got older, I developed my passion for traveling (which is a great compliment to photography). I’ve lived in Spain, Germany, Costa Rica, England and visited many other countries. I always said that if I grow up and get married I was going to elope and take a long honeymoon somewhere amazing & tropical... But then again the idea of settling down or ever getting married was so far fetched until 2008 when I moved to Atlanta and meet the one – Mr. Brent Neill! Some girls dream of big diamonds and poufy gowns…. I was dreaming of escaping to Tahiti in a simple JCREW wedding dress. I knew how much work went into wedding planning but I never really saw how stressful it can be (for some!). I show up to the wedding and everyone is happy and cheery and I capture those moments... Not the one where the bride cries and throws things (okay-maybe I am the only 27 year old that throws things!) I guess I should have known what to expect after all the times I’ve watched Say Yes to the Dress and Bridezilla. Choosing to spend my life with Brent was the easy part… Trying to plan our wedding, work a day job, renovate a house, run a boutique photography company, pick vendors from 900 miles away, and manage our crazy family/friends was the über difficult part. I had already started my career as a wedding photographer by the time we got engaged and I had the opportunity to see 2-3 weddings a month. I was so mesmerized by all the details, dresses, and venues I was seeing, I HAD no idea how to pick mine! My attention to detail and creativity was close to driving me insane... After all – we only get one chance to express ourselves and be 100% in the spolight... and the photos had to be perfect! I was constantly thinking…how is this going to photograph, what can we use for props to get unique shots, I DON’T KNOW WHAT FLOWERS I WANT, how come no one carries tablecloths in SEAFOAM Green (I'm obsessed with colored tablecloths - they can really change the whole room)! Thankfully Key West is a magical, unique, laidback, beautiful oasis so that took a tiny amount of stress off. It was through the help of my wedding planner, ETSY.com, and wonderful vendors that I was able to create a magical, memorable wedding day full of details fit for a TROPICAL GODDESS.

I’ve reached out to a few of my vendors to get you all some cool discounts, so you can add details to your life too! Below are photos of my details and vendor info....
