Kristen & Stephen--September 2012

This couple was so unique. Kristen and I sat down in the spring and discussed my doing the design for her event. I made a proposal that came in out of her budget. Instead of walking away, she came back to me with the budget she could handle and asked if I might tutor her and SHE would do all the prep work. Normally I probably wouldn't agree to such an arrangment, but because I felt she and I were a good match personality-wise I said yes. And she was awesome. I would give her tasks and tutorials and she got to work straight away. The photos are of the entire event...many pieces she or Stephen put together...my assistant, Jenn, and I put everything up that day, however. It was a treat to work so closely with a the couple and I have enjoyed getting to know them better post-wedding as well.
