Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice Award 2013! (& me ranting, what’s new)

Excited to snag this year’s 2013 Bride’s Choice Award from Wedding Wire. The “award” is based on reviews from your clients, so it’s pretty great to get that recognition.

Last and, yeah, probably least, we have engagement photos with Titanoboa! World’s biggest snake! Eating what appears to be a gila monster. How could I resist?

Good times, y’all. Look for more from Emily and Matt in just a couple months!

This is awesome and these two look way fun. That last photo with the snake is precious. Also, I’ve never been to this museum – so that needs to happen.
