    Swoozie's Bridal Showcase

    Recently, Brad and I were chosen to be the preferred photographers for Swoozie's first Bridal Showcase. We were a part of a handful of vendors chosen to participate at this unique event. This was such a wonderful opportunity for brides to get to chat with some of the best in the wedding industry as well as take a closer look at the variety of custom wedding products that Swoozies has to offer. Swoozies is an amazing store filled with unique stationary, gifts, treats and so much more! Brides can find nearly anything they need from custom invitations and favors to personalized gifts for their wedding party. Check out the Swoozies Wedding Book for all sorts of cool ideas for your wedding. You may even recognize some of our images on the homepage of Swoozie's national website!

    The Perfect Pear Catering Company provided yummy cupcakes for everyone. Their food is absolutely delicious! If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding or special event, you should definitely contact Rachel. Not only is her food to die for, but she is an absolute sweetheart too!

    On top of the food and fun, there were all sorts of incredible freebies for brides who were in attendance. Goodies included free make up samples from MAC and Bare Escentuals, a month of free tanning from TanFastic Tanning Salon and even a $500 gift certificate for stationary from Swoozies.

    Thanks guys. It really was a cool event to be a part of... very relaxed and low key. I was jealous of the brides because I wanted some of those awesome freebies for myself.

    Do you think Swoozie's would mind if I tried to live there? You should ask Erin if that is a possibility. Seriously, I love that store!
