If you live in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or southern Maine, do not use Andrea Runkel of Luminescence Photography. She now has an F rating with the BBB with 14 complaints filed and we must take her to small claims court in order to attempt to get either our pictures or our money back ( Read more... )

I was at a bridal show in Bangor, ME on Sunday and happened to meet the most amazing photographer. He services Maine as well as Mass & New Hampshire at an increased price.

He's super pricey, but super worth it if you can afford it. Unfortunately, I don't think we can, so I thought the very least I could do is share it with my fellow New Englanders ( Read more... )

Finally! I ordered my dress November and it came in last week. I thought poeple were crazy when they said it would take that long.

I am playing to do a larger progress post soon (hopefully next Sunday after we meet with the caterer again). We are only 160 days away from August 22nd and time is FLYING! Breaaathe. Okay so.

Hi planners!

So..I never quite understood what the whole gushing over Maggie gowns was all about...until I tried some on!

Friday I went with my Mom to a small bridal boutique near us, Modern Bride and Formal Shop in Bedford NH.
The girl who helped us was lovely. It was Friday morning around 10:30 AM so it was very quite and relaxed. I tried on about ( Read more... )
