You’ll just have to forgive us for being so back and forth — our love for weddings knows no bounds. Last week, we featured a stunner of a shoot from Maura Jane Photography — dark and moody because we were feeling those soon-to-be-autumn vibes. But if we’re totally honest, and we always are, we’re still […]
TIL DEATH DO US PART: A STYLED SHOOT
Okay, yes — the sun is still shining, birds are still chirping, and the roadsides are still adorned with little wildflowers and weeds. Summer isn’t quite over yet!
