A + R chose to wear something very special during their first look. They wanted to honor their Korean heritage by wearing stunning Hanbok. Their First Look was completely unique and completely them. An unforgettable moment. They are glowing! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Planning and Design: @agoodaffair team Floral design: @lavendersflowers Hair and Make-up: @tingmakeup

A luscious canopy of ivy, vineyards for miles, the iconic tree lined driveway & you’ve got an absolutely divine place to celebrate with your favorite people! Sounds pretty amazing right?! Choosing a venue that speaks to your heart is the goal. Plus, Can fit all your guests and creates an experience like no other. As a photograher I always like to do a venue walk-through to see what you love about the space (if I am able) even before the Welcome Dinner as the light Is most accurate for the Big day. It also helps me plan epic shots, gain inspiration to make this truly a reflection of you, and get a sense of logistics. Can’t wait to do this again soon! And #beaulieugarden @paulaleduc is breathtaking.

“When you know better. Do better.” -Maya Angelou ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My business is built on the bedrock of love. Witnessing the love of SO many wonderful couples is an ongoing inspiration. They remind me that love is powerful and love is transformational, especially at this time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So with that power and inspiration I will focus on love. With love I will stand together with Black Lives Matter, they are beloved, they are important, and lend my voice to the chorus of those seeking the abolition of systemic racism and police brutality. With love I will vote for equitable change in our country. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have not always been socially or politically engaged here. I know better. I will do better. I’m challenging myself to do the following: -I will stay informed. -I will research politicians, local budgets, authorities, check voting records, and ethical practices. -I will vote. -I will donate. -I will read. -I will unlearn. -I will relearn. -I will teach my 2 daughters to love & stand up for what it right. -I will show love. -I will brighten someone’s day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our country will never be the same and it shouldn’t be. It will be better. Fred Roger’s said of love, “Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle.” Let us actively love and not be satisfied until positive foundational change has been made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope we can grow in this together. I will continue to share my work in the hope that the images and stories can serve as a reminder of love. Let’s flourish together towards a greater good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sending big hugs and of course love to you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Xo, Natalie ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some organizations to donate to: Blacklivesmatter.com mplsnaacp.org Blackmamasmatter.org Colorofchange.org #lovewins #hope #bethechange #mondayweddingadvice
