The sun will always shine. • • • #tbt to Beth and Abe’s wedding! It’s already been two years for these lovebirds! Congrats on two years and cheers to the next year! • Also, one of my favorite memories from this day is that it was threatening to rain all day, but it stayed clear through their outdoor ceremony, and juuuuust when they were pronounced husband and wife, the storm rolled in and it POURED (see second picture). I was determined for them to still get great portraits so I drove around on the golf cart with an umbrella barricade on either side with them and the photographer to get some great shots. It cleared up and then they were able to take some more as the sun was setting. I’m always prepared to problem-solve and do anything in the moment for my couples, even if it means I get drenched in the process 🌧 😊 ☀️ #celebratecmart #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #houstonweddingplanner #houstonweddings #houstonwedding #weddingsinhouston #bridesofhouston #houston #htx #weddingphotography #weddingphoto #brideandgroom #weddingportrait #anniversary #twoyears #twoyearanniversary #rainyday #rainonyourweddingday #goodluck #weddingplannerlife #savingtheday #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhitephoto #lifeslikethis #liveauthentic #loveauthentic #itshandled #heydoll @rupaulofficial
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart. • • • Y'all. It's Wednesday. It's hump day. And I just found out that these lovebirds are expecting a little baby boy, so I'm dubbing today #bumpday!

So happy for them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @wayfarerphotography_ Coordination: @cmartcelebrations Venue: @oneeleveneast Flowers: @thegreenroomfloral Dress: @bhldn Beauty: @koisalonsanantonio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #celebratecmart #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #austinweddingplanner #austinweddings #austinwedding #atxwedding #austin #atx #weddingphotography #weddingphoto #weddingwednesday #happybumpday #happyhumpday #brideandgroom #husbandandwife #expectingparents #babyontheway #babynews #itsaboy #ccbaby #weddingdress #weddingflowers #weddingstyle #weddinginspo #modernwedding #loveauthentic #pursuepretty #ibelieveinathingcalledlove @theactualdarkness
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away. • • • Howdy and happy Friday! It’s both #featurefriday and #flowerfriday all rolled into one. This lovely #styledshoot was featured on @chitheewed yesterday - you can check out their full feature there (after originally being picked up by @theperfectpalette). I love all the love this shoot is getting! This photo was another favorite moment of mine that Kat at Willrett Flower Co was able to help me bring to life. • Also, I forced the lyric today...but how can you not when CHER released the first single of her ABBA cover album! Have you heard it yet? It’s a club banger and will have you dancing in no time. Comment below with your feelings on the song. DO IT! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @alexandraleephoto Planning/Design: @cmartcelebrations Flowers: @willrettflowerco Venue: @rm1520 Chairs: @westelm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #celebratecmart #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #chicagoweddingplanner #chicagoweddings #chicagowedding #weddingsinchicago #chicago #weddingphotography #weddingphoto #ceremony #weddingceremony #ceremonyaltar #altardecor #weddingflowers #modernwedding #modernromantic #artfullywed #inspiredbyart #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #chitheewed #weddingstyle #flowers #cher #abba #gimmegimmegimme @cher
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? • • • I was reflecting today with my sister about social media and how we strive to make everything look perfect; to have the best shots, the right styling, and amazing lighting. And I think we all like to hold ourselves captive to this social platform where we show our highlights and pick and choose and edit the moments that people get to see of our businesses and our lives. So I thought I would share a snapshot of me and my office for the past couple of days. If you've emailed with me, texted, had any calls, it most likely happened here. Folders strewn about. To-do lists and notes at my side. Drinking from the largest of mugs that are at my parent's house to get the most of out a K-cup and keep me fueled (that mug, a Happy Birthday mug I received at a party in college). I'm home in Virginia this week watching my youngest brother, who is on the lower functioning end of the Autistic spectrum, for my parents while they are on vacation (which they never get to do together) celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary in Vegas (#annivegasry #annevadaversary). So this is me. Right now. Working remotely and getting things done (albeit haphazardly :P). • So just a little challenge: try not to get caught up in perfection, let loose, don't make things so complicated, and be authentically you. It's the best you! Tag your authentically you pics with #lifeslikethis Show me who you are! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #celebratecmart #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #thetravelingplanner #thetravelingweddingplanner #houstonweddingplanner #austinweddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanner #virginiaweddingplanner #arkansasweddingplanner #hotspringsweddingplanner #friday #friyay #beyou #beauthentic #liveauthentic #loveauthentic #remotework #workingontheroad #officefortheweek #smallbusinesslife #entreprenuerlife #creativeprenuer #workflow #fridayintroductions #itshandled #complicated @avrillavigne
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. • • • Happy #thirstythursday to all! Whether you're over the rain or beating the heat, grab a glass and cheers! The weekend's almost here! • Also, #tbt to this killer canvas bar menu from Quinn Luu Creative Studio that helped guide guests on what was available, including the groom's specialty cocktail, the Tennessee Stud! • What's your specialty drink? Mine is the Long Island Iced Coffee from Halcyon (@halcyon.austin) ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @brittanyjeanphoto Planning/Design: @cmartcelebrations Banner: @quinn.luu Flowers: @theheirloomtable Venue: @oneeleveneast ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #celebratecmart #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #austinweddingplanner #austinweddings #austinwedding #weddingsinaustin #bridesofaustin #austin #atx #atxweddings #weddingphotography #weddingphoto #bar #weddingbar #barmenu #barsign #weddingideas #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #localbeer #weddingdesign #weddingdesigner #pursuepretty #specialtycocktail #signaturedrink #liveauthentic #tennesseewhiskey @chrisstapleton
