January | 2010 | Charlotte NC Wedding Photographer. Lindsey Lee Hartsell

We officially survived our first bridal show! After weeks of planning, we conquered our first show. Joe and I always said we would try anything once, so this was our go at our first show. Who knows if we will do it next year, but it was a great experience and we had an overwhelming response to our work and our fabulous booth (if I do say so myself). I couldn't have done any of it with out Joe and his amazing handy-ness. He truly made my vision come to life and put up with my persistent perfectionism.

We really enjoyed the experience! It was great to meet other vendors in the wedding industry and to get a chance to talk with so many wonderful brides. I can't wait for some of the weddings that will eventually be up on the blog!

We would, however, now like to thank our un-official sponsors for their contributions and work:

The Silvernales:
I feel like I should be thanked for emotional support and encouragment.

We've been watching her grow...and she turned 1 last week! Sweet little baby Gracie had her first birthday, and we kicked off the celebration the day before with her one year old photo shoot. Her dad works at the golf course, so we had our own cart to roam around in. I am now making access to golf carts a requirement for all sessions! (just kidding, but it was AMAZING). We just loaded up all our junk and went to town all over the 18 holes! Never-mind that people were trying to play golf and work on their swing and focus on the ball ( or whatever it is that you do when you play golf) . Enjoy this sweet sweet girl...Gracie will put a smile on your face this Monday.

Lindsey Lee Photography is WONDERFUL…I am so blessed to have such amazing photos of my little girl as she grows! Thanks Lindsey!

Remember Laura and Jeremy? Their story was published in the most recent edition of Carolina Bride along with a couple other LLP photos. Check it out if you get a chance!

I would like for someone to please come and remove the mountain of junk off my desk. thanks.

With the start of the new year I have been trying really hard to get organized. Translation: make everything have it's own folder (in my computer and in life), update my website, categorize favorite images, figure out quickbooks, make new marketing materials...the list goes on. It is quite overwhelming. I need one of those organization specialists, except for I need them to understand the digital world as well as the physical. Any takers:)? Oh yea, and Joe and I are doing our first bridal show next weekend (why didn't someone tell us we were crazy!) So, on top of my new organizational goals, our garage has a 10x10 foot room in it that looks like it came right out of anthropologie catalogue that Joe made from scratch. He's so handy. Click here for more information on the bridal show that is January 24th in Charlotte. All the great wedding professionals will be there to help you make your day perfect, we'd love to see you there!

All this to say that while going through all of the old files I saw photos that I love that I never shared. I am going to try and highlight photos that never made it to the blog or website that I think are nice and pretty. Starting with: Kelly. Have a great weekend!

About a week and a half ago Robbie and Cat got married!!! You may remember a week ago here in the Carolina's. It was cold. Colder than you can stand it cold. Props to everyone in the wedding party who survived our time outside! The ladies got ready at the Westin, where the reception was also held. The ceremony was performed at the quaint St. Mary's Chapel right outside of downtown. Everything was fabulous, including the awesome purple light that lit up the reception. I loved it! Enjoy!
