On Monday mornings, I cannot start the day without making a to do list everyday for the entire week. I love starting Monday off with goal-setting and coffee. I’ve been doing it so long it’s become a weekly tradition. Now you have a glimpse into my Monday morning routine...how do you start off your week?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @theivyrosebarn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Host & Design:@nicolecolwellphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rentals: @the_heirloom_collection⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Florals: @selahrayflorals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paper Goods: @papier.handmade⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gown & Veil: @clairepettibone⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tux: @theblacktux⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Linens: @bbjlinen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lab @photovisionprints⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vaweddingphotograhper #theivyrosebarn #ivyrosebarn #vawedding #fuji400h 
If you know me, you know I love details, and even the smallest detail is worth documenting when it comes to my couples and their story. Don't you just love Joe's monogram on his cuff paired with Madison's beautiful engagement ring? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ncengagementphotographer #ncwedding #fuji400h #ncfilmphotographer #raleighweddingphotographer #chapelhill #chapelhillengagementsession #chapelhillengagement #engagementdetails #ncengagement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @madison_call 
Brides, do you want to help your photographer capture gorgeous ring shots of your ring? Here’s a few tips on making sure that happens: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Make sure you have all three rings in the getting room with you when your photographer arrives. ⠀ 2. Make sure you clean your ring the week of your wedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. You can purchase a ring box from @the_mrs_box in a color that compliments your wedding colors, but if you do not purchase a ring box, no worries at all! I bring many styling items with me on the day of the wedding to compliment your details with ring boxes included! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Ask your florist to bring a few extra florals from your arrangements or bouquet to your getting ready room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Make sure you have your invitation set with your details in the getting ready room. These work great as ring shot backdrops - especially if they have artwork or calligraphy, like the photo pictured above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And now you have the perfect recipe for helping your photographer create magical ring shots that will turn into a piece of art to hang in your home.

It may be the rain coming down outside my window, the hot cup of pumpkin spice coffee in my hand, or the Fall vibe of this Classic Ranger ring box from @the_mrs_box, but I'm looking forward to all the beautiful Fall details and colors to come! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Host: @adorncollectiveworkshops⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ring Box: @the_mrs_box⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Film lab @goodmanfilmlab

Dreaming of blue skies on this rainy Saturday morning here in NC. Even though I don’t have a wedding today, I am busy editing and preparing for Chris and Christy’s intimate Winmock wedding tomorrow. Happy weekend, friends! 
Expectation of sitting down to edit photos - A cup of coffee, my planner opened up to my to-do list, and my favorite Avett Brothers album playing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reality of editing photos - 3 empty coffee cups, messy bun, half eaten bagel off to the side, and me wondering where the last 3 hours went. Any other photographers relate?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Host: @adorncollectiveworkshops⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Styling: @taylor.hackett.johnson_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue + Floral Design: @neuse_breeze⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paper: @prettywrittenthings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rentals: @charmingandquaint
