If you're anything like me, you're lost without your phone. So Joy has an app so your wedding plans and details are with you and your guests wherever you go! Can't get more convenient than that!

Joy allows you to:

- share your beautiful love story with your guests
- choose from multiple design templates
- add driving directions ad calendar notifiations
- send guest reminders on items such as dress code, change of venue, weather, etc.
- keep track of all logistical details, all in one place
- manage your guest list, RSVP's and meal preferences
- communicate with guests via their app
- create a master list of all the registries you've chosen
- record all gifts received to ensure thank you notes make it to every guest's home
- share photos and messages with the bride and groom from the wedding day
- connect with other wedding guests before the big day (hint hint: singles!)
- ...and so much more!

Joy allows you to keep everything all in one place, rather than working off of 12 different sites with 12 different companies, all to get your wedding plans set. Because that is the definition of overwhelming!

Now that's what I call simplicity...and fun! Go take a peek and you'll be hooked, I'm sure of it!

Styled Shoot | A Timeless, Romantic North Carolina Secret Garden Wedding

The inspiration behind this shoot was to create a timeless and romantic feel with a modern twist. I loved the thought of a secret garden setting with arbors, lace and loose florals. Touches of modern class came into play with the groom's prohibition haircut and fitted suit, and the bride's chic makeup and striped lace gown. Pulling together some of my favorite artisans to complete the look, I knew their talents would help fulfill what I was trying to accomplish.
