  • Thinking of an intimate elopement this year and planning for a large celebration in the future!? . It doesn’t have to be that scary... . Let’s break this pic down to share that the possibilities are endless 🙌🏼 . First pick a location you love that allows gatherings. Some local spots may need permits, but backyards and family property don’t as long as you have permission ❤️ . Set up just one eye candy “wedding” look for photos! Maybe it’s a sweet heart table like this (notice there aren’t even trendy chairs!?) It could also be an arbor, like an intimate ceremony space. Epic views are also free if they allow it! . Rock your gown and step up the glam for all involved. It may feel low key, but it truly is a celebration of love! . Add florals! Many local florists are still offering their services, hit up your local vendors and ask if they’re available to add a touch of elegance. My friend Marie offers a great Pinterest Fail Free course on how to make your own wedding florals if you’re up for the DIY project! Check her out! 👉🏼 @laurel.and.vine . Notice the donuts and cake? Make your own! Pick up a pink box or ask your sister or bridesmaid to help you out! Garnish with florals to make them look legit. . Invest in hair and make up to feel polished and bridal for your photos. There’s something about getting pampered that elevates this experience! 🙌🏼 If that’s not possible, just rock it yourself! Your genuine smile will radiate!!! . If you can and it’s safe to hire a photographer and videographer, do it!!! You’ll be so thankful for these sweet memories captured by a professional! . Now... let me be crystal clear... I will FOREVER support and encourage local wedding vendors for your elopements and vow exchanges. The professionals know what they’re doing and can truly enhance your experience. Our industry has been HIT HARD and any support is graciously appreciated. ❤️💯 . Just remember that all things are possible with love and creativity. . . Need some more tips for wedding chaos, DIY hacks or inspiration? Head to the blog for more, boo! I got you!

  • Can you hear this picture? You know? The sound of groomsmen whistling, butter knives clanking champagne glasses, Aunties squealing “whooowhoo!” and catching the newlyweds lean in for a kiss?! . This clinking glass and kissing tradition can be tracked down to an ancient Christian myth that the sound of the clinking glasses would scare the devil away for the couple to safely kiss! 😘 . Ohh I love finding out the history of wedding traditions! What are some of your favorite traditional or silly wedding traditions? I wanna research them and figure out why we still do them!! ❤️😂🙌🏼 #quiannamariewedding #holmanwedding @holmanranch

  • This weekend, not one but two weddings have been canceled and postponed until next year. My heart breaks for my couples as their much anticipated wedding is paused and rescheduled. . If you’re feeling the pain and disruption of this pandemic, I promise you’re not alone. I have over a dozen weddings that have been derailed due to restrictions. . Safety and well being for my couples and their families will always come first. I deeply understand the ripple effect of all this uncertainty. . Our wedding industry is grieving. Yet I feel hopeful and grateful within the same breath. Although it’s unfair, may we stick together, support one another and look forward to brighter days ahead. . LOVE IS NOT CANCELED ❤️🙌🏼 . I don’t even have the words to share my gratitude to my kind, understanding and empathetic couples. Y’all are keeping this dream alive, even while we’re paused and for that I’m forever grateful ❤️🙏🏼 #quiannamariewedding #covid19wedding #weddings2020

  • I miss these getting ready moments! Busy mornings, lip stick touch ups, sleepy flower girls, and the magic of nervous jitters before marrying your best friend! . Did you know a group of bridesmaids don’t naturally just pull off this Cinderella moment!? . One bridesmaid is waiting to glue on eye lashes, another is nursing downstairs, one is chugging water from a slight hang over and your mom is probably on the phone talking to another aunt that’s lost trying to find parking. It’s a mad house! But a happy house! . As your photographer, I love jumping in and curating these moments. Yes, I literally help make these memories out of thin air! I enjoy dancing between being a documentary photographer (letting things happen naturally and candidly) and more of an editorial style photographer (direct and pose) for more iconic photos. . Personally, I think that combination is great for letting things happen naturally and taking the time to enhance these simple moments. . Every wedding is different, however every bride and mother want the same thing... To FEEL beautiful, stress free and to have photos to look back on that give them the feels! . Praying for this pandemic to end soon so we can get back to moments like this! I promise this won’t last forever, bright days are ahead! ❤️ #quiannamariewedding #liveloveleal #lealwinerywedding
