What a crazy week! In addition to buttoning up some big projects at work, I have been working on a new Hindsight Bride project. Stay tuned for more details! On top of that, I'm planning our one year anniversary shoot, and feel like I'm planning a wedding again with all the meets with photographers, hair stylists, and florists. Oh, and ofcourse it's a big DIY extravaganza, so I have a to-do list a mile lond, including making cookies, pinwheels, and another (smaller) wedding cake. Aye-yai-yai!

I got a nice break on Wednesday. One of my highlights this week was attending the Palettes of Perfection (POP) Spring Fling at Apple Hill Farms. Numerous Asheville wedding professionals (as well as a couple of real brides) came out to celebrate the opening of Apple Hill Farms in Plott Valley outside of Waynesville, NC.

But I do know this: Derek and Galen, the owners and talent behind Two Ring Studios, are deeply committed to making some of the best wedding photos and videos in Western North Carolina.
