Shout out to our amazing wedding vendors!

Now that the wedding is over (woo-hoo!) I wanted to make sure I spread the word about all of the wonderful people we were lucky enough to work with in putting our wedding together. Soon after we got engaged, a few people told me if you find vendors who really get you and know what you're looking for, you shouldn't have to worry about a thing once the day arrives. They were totally right! Everyone we hired took the time to get to know Matt and I and as a result helped us put together a big, fun celebration rather than an "event". Here's the list of everyone who pitched in. Photos soon!

• Venue- Salvage One
• Catering- City Provisions
• DJ- the lovely Dena from Toast & Jam DJs
• Photographer- Barry Phipps
• Flowers- Pollen Floral Design
• Officiant- Toni Maddi
• Invitations- designed by my awesome friend Kelly and printed at Steracle Press
• Dress- Jenny Yoo
• Hair + makeup- my awesome friend Tania
• Hair clip- my awesome friend Sarah from Cursive Design
• Matt's suit- Hugo Boss

New Camera

I broke down and bought a digital SLR, so far I absolutely love it! Here are some photos I took on a walk around my neighborhood a few months ago.

An Awesome Book of Thanks

An Awesome Book of Thanks! from Dallas Clayton on Vimeo.

Dallas Clayton released An Awesome Book 2 years ago and is following it up now with An Awesome Book of Thanks. The illustrations and overall message behind this book are so heartwarming! Highly recommended.

Hayward, WI

Here are some of the photos from our trip up to northern Wisconsin. Fall was a perfect time to go, the plant life and colors were amazing!

You can see more photos from this trip on my Flickr page!

Maira Kalman/What's In Your Toolbox

I love the 'what's in your toolbox' feature on design*sponge, it's so fun to get a glimpse of the creative process of other artists/designers. This week they featured Maira Kalman.
