Happy Monday! We did a beautiful wedding with an even more beautiful family this summer at Castle Ladyhawke.  Kristin and her mom, Lisa, made the planning process so much fun!  Every time we chatted by phone or met in person, we ended up in giggles because of the sweetness and humor these women can't help but share.  Truth be told, we are a little sad the wedding is over because we were spoiled by their everyday joy.  I hope you enjoy these photos from our new friends, Cathy and Chris, at TPS Photography!

Castle Ladyhawke Weddings

Castle Ladyhawke is a fairy tale location, hands-down.  I had the fortune of a client meeting there one night this week and all the memories of royal weddings we've done there came rushing back.  Here are some images by Visio Photography that convey just a taste of the magic guests experience at a Ladyhawke wedding.

Jen and Wes

There is no order at all to the weddings I'm sharing, but I am BLOGGING!

Jen and Wes married in May at Castle Ladyhawke.  One of our first weddings in the year, they reminded us of what a privilege it is to serve at weddings.  They and their families were so kind and appreciative of the work each of the vendors gave them.  More than that, they were sweet to each other...something I'm pretty sure is key to a happy marriage!  Here are the photos to prove it by the just as wonderful photographer duo,  James and Jenny of Visio!

This day is feeling so autumn-like.  There are even fallen yellow leaves on my back deck--beautiful.  I love the sense of peace this season brings.  Oh yes, and excitement!  Fall is our BUSIEST time of the year because so many people want to get married with God's hand-painted mountain majesty as their backdrop.

To get you in the mood for fall... here are some AMAZING photos by Caroline Ghetes of Josie and Andrew's wedding at Castle Ladyhawke last October.  For many, many more photos (that I know you'll want to see), look up Caroline's blog here.

Yes, Caroline Ghetes is just that awesome of a photographer and this wedding was just that gorgeous!  Thank you, Josie and Andrew, for allowing us the privilege of being part of a most important day!
