Happy Wednesday y’all. I’m not really sure where April went, so sorry about that, but as you may know the spring is a busy wedding season here in Savannah! I just thought I’d take some time today to give a shout out to some fab wedding photographers, Jade + Matthew Take Pictures. Jade + Matthew Take Pictures consists of a super fun husband + wife photographer team. Their photography is relaxed, fun-loving, and tells stories. Their goal is to take the stuffy out of weddings, to make them fine art, real, tender, and last but maybe the most important – have a mindblowingly amazing time with you!

mccully_121121_lirtsman_0415I mean come one, how gorgeous is this image! Luckily I have had the opportunity to work with this duo a lot! It all started when they photographed my very own wedding…..photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, and I was sure that these two were the only ones who could really capture us!

mccully_101009_harper_1470I just about died when they showed up at our wedding with a yellow tandem bicycle! I mean, talk about really knowing your clients!!! We’re avid bike riders and one of our wedding colors was yellow. uh-mazing!

harber-1715I would highly recommend budgeting for amazing photography. When everything is all said and done it’s those images that you’ll have to remember the day. Right now they have some amazing deals happening on the 100 Layer Cake Pop-up Shop so go check it out!!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day…..y’all!

So….I’m not sure if you know this but St. Patrick’s day is pretty huge in Savannah, actually, it’s very huge!! I mean thousands upon thousands huge….I think? I don’t know but it’s crazy how many people flock to Savannah for the parade (which is second in size to the parade in Boston!). I think it may have something to do with our open container law maybe;)….our Irish community? or maybe it’s simply because the weather is great this time of year and Savannah is of course, an awesome city to visit. Either way, I have had good times…and bad times during this holiday here. One year Jon and I worked a friend’s hot dog stand…that was a good year. A bad year was when I locked my bicycle to a street sign only to return to find that someone had run over it? that sucked…..So I hope that whatever you decide to do on this green colored holiday, please be safe and have fun!

Q&A: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever had to do for a couple?

Hello there! Well this is a toughie….I get to know my couples very well, so well in fact that some meetings turn into therapy-like sessions where I’m sitting in a chair playing mediator and the couple is sitting on a couch in front of me going back and forth about wedding decisions. It’s all in good fun of course! I also become the go to girl for just about anything on the wedding day. Sam & Jacobs beautiful wedding took place on Dunham Farms and a FARM comes with certain things, right? Like bugs…..deer….dirt…twigs….oh and SNAKES!!! Just a few hours before Sam & Jacob’s ceremony took place, while each of them sat happily in their cottages getting ready and laughing with friends & family, I stumbled upon a baby copperhead! While I was filling up jars of flowers with water this little guy coiled itself around the hose I was using. Inevitably we had to remove it’s head using a sharp object (sorry PETA and all you snake lovers out there…ew). So yes, I am the person who tells crazy Uncle Ira that the music cannot be turned down, I am also the one who makes sure homeless people don’t crash your outdoor ceremony, and in this case, I also fend snakes off for you! You just never know what’s going to happen on your wedding day, and I’m happy to be there to ease through an hick-ups that may come up.mccully_121121_lirtsman_1792{Image by Jade + Matthew Take Pictures}
