What I loved about this wedding was how the bride and groom made the conscious decision to employ local vendors (all listed below) to make their big day special. By working with friends and neighbors, they were able to include crazy-unique details throughout the event. For starters, Amina gave a nod to her Pakistani heritage with a custom dress with help from Stitch and Rivet. Her entire bouquet was grown in local gardens. And she and friends spent countless hours making paper flowers that acted as both decor and accessories.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love love stories and that's the kind of fairy tale relationship Brad and Amina have. They met in high school and never looked back. Brad proposed on a day trip to Great Falls.

And she and friends spent countless hours making paper flowers that acted as both decor and accessories. Their's was the first full wedding I've photographed, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Amina and Brad were amazing to work with, the weather was gorgeous and the overall feel was laid back and groovy. Not only did I learn a lot professionally, but I had a genuinely fun time. I'm so glad Amina and Brad bestowed on me this wonderful opportunity and big responsibility! Special thanks to Makeup: Sev Gedra. Bouquet: Mimoza Design. Henna art: Bhavna's Henna & Arts.

YAY! I'm so happy you posted about our dining adventure here. It was such a fun night and the food was sooooo darn good. The Giant was very excited to eat some Indian food more like what he's used to eating back home. We will be back again.

Perhaps not the best time to learn of it (although, I agree with JL Merrow that there's definitely a worst time), but I'm gonna guess the information wasn't available earlier.

The evolution of red carpet fashion directly correlates with fashion treads in most cases and has always been a way for celebrities to make a statement. There are dresses that we all remember from different award shows throughout the years. Such as Rihanna’s recent rhinestone encrusted sheer gown or Lil’ Kim’s purple jumpsuit and pasty ensemble. Not only are these dresses memorable but they can make or break a fashion house.
