your daily dose of pretty

@CASSICLAIRE

Did you wear a veil for your wedding? When I got married back in 2011, I thought veils were outdated and I opted for my signature hair flower instead! That was definitely the right choice for me, but my goodness has my view on veils changed!!! I LOOOOVE them and think they are the epitome of romance and beauty!! Are you a veil or no veil kind of gal?! 🤔

Today I'm dreaming of Paris. It's been a little chilly the past few times I've been there, so this chilly weather in New Jersey gives me really happy flashbacks! I want to put on a chic coat, a turtleneck, and boots made for walking! I want to stop in a patisserie for a chocolate croissant and a latte. I want to people watch and feel the inspiration from every angle. I want to eavesdrop on adorable French couples...but is it really eavesdropping if I have no idea what they're saying? I want to buy old books and artwork by the river Seine. I want to breath deeply as I walk past bakeries and flower shops and chocolate shops...and try every flavor of macarons! These are my daydreams. And I'm so thankful to have been able to live them, and hopefully will live them many more times in the future. What do you daydream about? What fills your imagination and your soul?! 💕

It's pretty gloomy out today, but I think sometimes gloomy can be beautiful! Give me a 🙌 if you agree!!!

The first chill in the air calls for some Fall wedding inspiration! Today’s featured wedding took place at Borgo Petrognano in Florence, Italy. This wedding is full of Tuscan charm and the cutest white Vespa I ever did see! The bride’s bouquet featured fall hues and bright colors with a touch of rustic whimsy, thanks to Oleander Curated! My favorite moment? The bride & groom riding off to their next adventure on their Vespa! This wedding is inspiration for any travel-loving-bride planning a destination wedding in Italy!

First weekend of October is in the books! This year has FLOWN by!! But it was a wonderful weekend and I hope yours was too! My biggest accomplishment was finally learning to sew a skirt!!! It took three classes at @fabricland and the guidance of a wonderful teacher, but I'm so proud of this! I can't wait to make a million more!!!

I've shared this with some of you face to face, but 2019 was a different year for us. In 2018, after 8 years of photographing weddings, I started to feel burnt out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I felt maybe I was losing my creative spark and getting stuck in auto-pilot. I felt exhausted and overwhelmed. So we made the difficult decision to cut back on the number of weddings we accepted, just for one year, to give myself some room to grow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was terrified to share this publicly because I didn't want to be seen as a failure or not strong enough to handle chaos. And I especially didn't want my brides to feel that their weddings were anything but a complete JOY for me!! Because they are! The wedding days themselves are what I live for!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this year has been absolutely life-giving and makes me even more excited for 2020! I've had time to practice and perfect shooting film, participate in beautiful editorial shoots, learn calligraphy, and have taken so many incredible sewing classes! I've had time for travel, time for friends, time for family, and time to get to know myself again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's an on-going process of course, but I feel like this completed skirt (WITH POCKETS!) represents all the personal growth I've had this year! So I'm feeling pretty darn excited about the rest of this year and I'm coming into 2020 refreshed and creatively recharged!!! 🎉🎉🎉

5 points to Gryffindor if you can spot my sewing pun! 😜
