We are back with a new episode of behind the veil, and LOVE the work by today's guest.  We had the opportunity to sit down with Sarah Glad of A Milestone Paper Co. and got a chance to learn more about her approach towards stationary!  Sarah does amazing work and is very fun to work with.  In fact we recently had lunch with one of our brides who also worked with Sarah.  She had nothing but glowing things to say about Sarah and her work!  We encourage you to watch the newest episode of Behind The Veil and give her a call if you are getting married.  Without further adieu, here is Sarah and A Milestone Paper Company!



Here are a couple of images of the laser cut invitation Sarah had mentioned:

We have been sitting on a stack of interviews that we are currently in the process of cutting together and getting ready to view.  With the big "engagement season" coming to an end, there are probably a lot of brides looking for THE DRESS!  We were invited to attend Macy's Bridal Expo last year and had the wonderful opportunity to meet designer, Jorge Perez.  He was kind enough to talk with us about his debut line and features for the direction of this years line.  I love that he puts an emphasis on lasting designs and not so much on trends.  In addition to a trunk show, the expo featured the work of some additional vendors like Apres, which we included some of their beautiful table settings below!

Jorge truly shared some great information about his thoughts on design as well as some great tips for picking out your dress!  If you are in the process of looking for a gown, be sure to go check out what Macy's Bridal has to offer, and Jorge's gowns particularly!

Be sure to check out some of the images and the embedded interview below!

We are back with a new episode of behind the veil, and are excited to share it with you!  We recently sat down with Jessica Bartl of Jessica's Cakes and got a chance to learn a lot about cakes and everything surrounding them in relation to the wedding industry.  Jessica is fabulous at what she does and has done some beautiful cakes.  We encourage you to watch the newest episode of Behind The Veil and give her a call if you are getting married.  Without further adieu, here is Jessica!

We are so sorry that Behind The Veil has been on a temporary hiatus, but we are back with a brand new episode featuring Kaja Foat of Foat Design.  For those Brides that love the thought of wearing a family member's gown, but also want your own flare, this is THE OPTION for you!  Although I would love to go on and on about what else they do, I will let Kaja speak for herself!

So recently I was looking for some inspiration for an upcoming fundraiser that I am helping to pull together and plan on the behalf of Thirst Relief International.  We enlisted the help of Kaja Foat with Foat Design to come up with a fun and unique dress for the shoot.  Drawing from a "MadMen" feel for inspiration, she came up with a 50's/60's short dress with a long veil. 

At any rate, I was searching for inspiration on grooms attire for a dress like this, and thought I would see what I could find on JFK and Jackie's wedding.  What I found made me stop and think about wedding photography and the images we produce as Minneapolis wedding photographers.  I couldn't help but be impressed with how relevant and stylish these images still are after almost 60 years later!  Now, not everyone is the Kennedy's, but the pictures don't say dated, trendy, or anything but timeless (The Image Below Is From Life).

Stacey and I have set out to create a similar experience and finished product for our clients.  We look at wedding pictures as something not only for the couple, but as heirlooms for their children also.  In order to do this, we try to keep our pictures clean, crisp, and full of emotion.  I would be curious to get your thoughts on what you think of the Kennedy's Wedding Pictures and it's timeless quality?
