Fall in Love: Catherine & Greg


I've been holding off on posting this wedding for a VERY long time... I wanted to make sure that it was just right. Catherine's been very patient and I know she's been waiting because she's one of the few people who ALWAYS leaves a comment for me (just to let me know she's watching, I'm sure... lol).

HI CATHERINE!!!! FINALLY, Here it is!
I never get nearly as much time as I'd like in getting to know my Month-of clients. Still, Catherine's the kind of person that you feel like you've known forever within 10-minutes of meeting her! This meant an instant connection and tons of fun every time we got together to chat about the wedding.

Catherine's also super-organized which meant we always got through the "wedding stuff" early on in our meetings and had time left over to chat about anything and everything else. We always parted ways laughing about something or other.

The wedding day itself was stunningly elegant and Catherine had carefully coordinated every detail so that it all came together beautifully. Here's a little peak of the day courtesy of Eric & Isabelle at Foto-Genik (this husband and wife team is a blast to work with).


Since the wedding, Catherine and I have stayed in touch and with the wedding long gone this couple's focus has shifted from wedding preparations to baby preparations! It won't be long now before the little bundle is here and personally I can't wait to see THOSE photos!!!
Wishing you and your growing family all the very best!
Much love,
xoxoxo

Coverall Featured in Eco-Beautiful Weddings!

Hi Everyone,

I'm very excited to announce that one of our fabulous weddings has been featured in the Summer 2010 Issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings. Darlene and Tobin's wedding was an eco-filled day with beautiful, socially-responsible touches at every turn.

I'll be giving more details on this spectacular event when I post the wedding in our Real Weddings Section but for now you can get a sneak peak by checking out the latest issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings HERE!

You'll find Darlene & Tobin's wedding starting on page 43.

Yours,
Sophie

Kristin & Shane



Every once in a while I have the opportunity to work with a client who really makes an impact on me... sometimes personally, sometimes professionally, and in some rare instances - both.

Kristin contacted me a few months before her wedding to help her organize the details the big day. Through numerous phone calls and emails I got to know Kristin pretty well and I have to say that she gave me a run for my money as far as organization goes. Kristin had all of her ducks in a row the entire time which meant that I really had to be on my game in order to keep a step ahead. I definitely grew from a professional standpoint as a result.

But don't let this give you the wrong impression. Kristin is by far the sweetest person I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Some of our phone calls lasted three hours as we obsessed over every detail. And at some point during every single conversation, Kristin would ask that I hold for just a moment so that she could greet Shane as he came into the house from work. I always found this to be the sweetest thing! (Probably because my husband typically gets a quick wave and maybe a finger to my lips if he happens to walk through the door while I'm on the phone. I know - I'm so mean, ha ha).

Kristin and Shane are the real deal and I am so grateful to have been a part of their day. If you know me you'll know that I cry at all of my weddings but I was choked up for a good chunk of the day this time around. I welled up as Shane's voice cracked as he recited his vows to Kristin, I cried during the Maid of Honor's speech (which she also cried through - so I blame her), and I also cried during Kristin's father's speech which was full of emotion.
I did manage to work through all the tears... promise!

Everything about the day was absolutely beautiful. We had a little bit of rain for good luck but the sun shined brilliantly for the duration of the photo session. It was the perfect combination. Mix in a team of extremely talented vendors and it really was the perfect day.

The oh-so-talented Annemarie Gruden was kind enough to send some of her stunning shots my way. The images really do speak for themselves. You can check out Annemarie's site here. Thanks again Annemarie!




I also want to thank the staff of the Lord Elgin hotel who were absolutely phenomenal! The timeline was tight and the logistics were intricate; without their help the day would not have been the huge success that it was.

Congratulations Kristin and Shane! I know you'll have a wonderful life together.

Sophie
