I planned on putting this post up yesterday, but needed to get Jen and Nick’s teasers up first 🙂

One year ago, on August 17th I met somebody very important in my life!  We met at a wedding that day, although our email relationship started a few days prior.  I knew we were two peas in a pod when we were both up writing emails to each other at 2am.

Meet one of my best friends and studio mate, Brenda Swann.  I say meet, but if you have ever stumbled across my blog (or been on any local wedding forum) you know this lovely lady! I knew we had something special when I realized we share two strong passions, weddings and travel!   As you can see, her personality is like none other and it shines through her 100%.

She is a wedding consultant extraordinaire!

And in the photobooth…we are no strangers to photobooths! 

This past April, we traveled to Australia together

and did her trash the dress session in Sydney! 

And now, one year later, we have a studio space together (us with Cathy from Love at First Invite) Photo by Aaron Thompson

And our beautiful space when we first opened…its got a little more on the walls and desks now!!

and one last shot of us from Australia 🙂

Some may think its silly to celebrate a one year anniversary with a friend, but it made me smile when I woke up to a Happy Anniversary text from Brenda yesterday. 🙂

It really does feel like longer than a year!  Here’s to many more, Love ya B!
