Officially made it to Palm Springs last night 🌴! My last three days consisted of a styled shoot in frigid cold temps at a historic fortress to an exciting design meeting and walkthrough at the ornate Boston Public Library followed by arriving in sunny Palm Springs. My mind is always in a state of visual movement and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Can’t wait to start experiencing adorable Palm Springs and @altsummit and take in all the inspiration, talent and community here! Stay tuned for all of @lynnereznickphoto & my photos soon and sorry in advance 😂 • • • iPhone photo by @urban_soiree of the incredible @fortadamstrust

The Confetti Hour Podcast 🥂— Episode 008: ‘The Artist Behind the Lens’ with @nouveau_lara of @studionouveau_! - With a MFA in visual art and a passion for curating stunning imagery that lights up each of her clients, Lara has built a successful career within the photography field. As one authentic, fierce, and truly professional boss lady, she has earned a strong reputation within the wedding industry over past 12 years through her carefully composed, expertly encapsulated and artistic approach to photography. We chat about the different stylistic approaches to photography and how art, style and raw emotion plays such a huge role in her work. I can’t wait for you to get to know Lara better - she’s one of the kindest souls and a truly inspiring creative to learn from. - Listen to The Confetti Hour Podcast for free through Apple podcasts or Spotify at the link in our bio! // Subscribe & PLEASE leave a review for our new show!! - You can also spread the love by posting a screenshot of our episode and tagging #theconfettihour #confettihoursquad ✨ • • • Featured Guest // @nouveau_lara of @studionouveau_ Headshot Portrait // @ Podcast Producer & Editing // @imchrismacdonald
Mid-week laughs because it’s a great week ✨ // Yesterday was jammed packed full of creative meetings, fun venue walkthroughs and planning meetings for three of our sweet 2019 couples. To top it off, tomorrow another episode of #theconfettihour podcast airs and I leave for Palm Springs on Saturday. Life is good 🖤 • • • photography // @studionouveau_ makeup // @makeupnikki
Sweet little bridal party gifts from M to her ladies ✨ // Sometimes the pre-styled, laid out on the bed look is too pretty not to capture on a quick cell phone shot! • • • Photo // IPhone shot edited by @urban_soiree
In between these breathtaking moments at weddings is a little thing called planning season and let’s just say it is just as busy, if not more, than wedding season for us! Luckily, Monday morning is a little sweeter when we have these lovely memories to remind us why we work so hard for our incredible couples during ‘off’ season + busy season 💕 • • • photographer // @jackiecooperphoto wedding planner // @urban_soiree floral designer // @plantsyall hair and makeup // @captivate.beauty⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ bridal gown // @thebridalcollection @martinalianabridal suit //@theblacktux⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ venue // @themanorhouse

It’s one of those simple & sweet Saturday’s where I got to sleep in, stay in my cozy clothes & snuggle on the couch with my boys all day long. This upcoming week, I get to dive into another styled shoot, several client meetings and tackle my to-do’s before @lynnereznickphoto and I leave to teach our Flat Lay Creation Workshop and attend the @altsummit conference next week! Today is my only Saturday at home and off work this month and it’s so important that I cherish this slow day with Chris & Lincy 🐶 before I dive back into the chaos. // Happy weekend, loves! Take some time to relax and reset as well ✨ • • • Vendor team from this lovely shoot: Photography: @lynnereznickphoto Venue: @boylstonrooms Coordination + Styling: @urban_soiree Printed Materials & Hand Calligraphy: @haleytysondesigns Custom Confetti Cones @amyweissdesign Hair and Makeup: @_jennyluu Model Agency: The Beauty Within | @tbwmodels Models: @katiesullivan25 Bridesmaid Dresses: @rentbestdressed Custom Jewelry + Bridesmaid Headpieces: @escottoriginals
The Confetti Hour Podcast 🥂— Episode 007: ‘Finding Balance within the Event Industry’ with @saracostel of @newenglandaquarium! - This week, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Sara Costello of the New England Aquarium. Coming off a wonderful evening of relaxation, meditation, yoga and beauty @newenglandaquarium last night, I can’t think of a better person to chat balance, health & wellness with. Sara is one of the most encouraging, trust worthy and welcoming person both as an Event Sales Manager at the New England Aquarium and a Certified Fitness Instructor. I can’t wait for you to meet this incredible lady! - Sara's career journey from working with high profile athletes within the sports management side of the industry to selling beautiful weddings at the New England Aquarium has shaped her into the strong event professional that she is. - We discuss the struggle and importance of finding balance within the event industry and how those values ultimately led Sara to become a Certified Fitness Instructor teaching Barre and Spin classes! You’ll feel motivated from this episode to focus on finding balance within the event industry and making your health and wellness a priority in your life 💪🏻 - Listen to The Confetti Hour Podcast for free through Apple podcasts or Spotify at the link in our bio! // Subscribe & PLEASE leave a review for our new show!!

So I hear Instagram has been down? How sad is it that I have like 12 messages going on about it stressing myself and my fellow creatives out to a max? When in reality we should be excited for the day off from these little curated squares. My post today is no longer relevant but you know what, I worked my butt off today and felt incredibly focused, followed by a fabulous event this evening @newenglandaquarium with some lovely event pros. I didn’t feel the need to check my phone once and that was a nice little break 😉 // I’ll catch up with you all, especially my #confettihoursquad tomorrow morning!! - photography // @shalynnelson workshop // @theschoolofstyling venue // @mcalisterleftwich rentals // @greenhousepickersisters
