A photo collage featuring a young boy and a yellow tulip - the text reads "Flowers are born in the dirt. They rise up and bloom where they

I have been having a blast creating photo mosaics and posting them over time on instagram. You may also know this phenomenon as the “Grid Collage”.

Have you seen this technique and wondered how to make it happen? It takes a little planning, but anyone can learn to do it. How fun would it be to create a grid collage out of one of your own family’s pictures? This article is what got me started: https://thepreviewapp.com/perfectly-split-instagram-grid-4-easy-steps-twigyposts/

As she says at the end of the blog, “This method may sound a little crazy or time consuming…and it can certainly feel that way in the beginning.  But, I promise you.  Once you get the hang of it…you will love it!”. She was not joking…

Discovering this way of posting was what got me hooked on instagram. It’s so much fun! If this kind of photo geek-ery tickles you as much as it does me, maybe you’ll join me! See what other antics I’ve been up to. :)

They say classic never goes out of style and I think Ellie & Nate’s wedding at Willamette Valley Vineyards last fall proves that point! The weather was perfect, the style was timeless and romantic, they have amazing families and support systems who were there for them every step of the way, AND they had the sweetest and most emotional toasts I had ever heard at a wedding. Plus, it was raining on Nate’s face the whole day-I just love their first look photos! Who doesn’t love a groom who isn’t afraid to show his emotions and just how in love he is with his bride?

Head on over to Brittany Lauren Photography’s blog to read Ellie’s take on their Classic Oregon Vineyard Wedding and see the rest of the stunning images!

I think when most people hear the word “Boudoir” they automatically think big hair, Victoria’s secret bombshell type shoot. Honestly, I like to refer to my “boudoir” sessions as intimate portraiture sessions because I think what we will capture is different than what most people associate with traditional boudoir. All women are incredible and I love photographing them in a soft and natural way that showcases their loveliness and just how amazing they are.  To see more from this feminine boudoir session and get an idea of the types of images that are possible head on over to Brittany Lauren Photography’s blog today!

You have a lot to think about when you plan a wedding and choosing the location for your engagement session probably isn’t near the top of your ‘most pressing items to complete’ list. Your photographer should help and guide you on choosing the best location for your engagement session, but one of the most important things I tell my couples is:

Less is often more when deciding on a location.
Regardless of the type of setting you seek out, an ideal location is free from too many visual distractions. It’s clean, quiet, and relatively secluded. A quiet setting will help you feel comfortable in displaying your affections and keep you in the moment.

I recently started a new series over at Brittany Lauren Photography called the Wedding Artist Series. Each blog post I interview someone in the wedding industry whom I admire and gain a little insight into their job as a wedding vendor and tips to help couples plan and prepare for their own wedding day. My first post ever featured Your Perfect Bridesmaid and in the interview they shared insight into the wedding planning process, investment advice, and pointers for couples who are recently engaged. Here’s a sneak peek at one of the questions she answered:

Why should couples hire a coordinator?
Weddings are very expensive and require couples to make tons of decisions. On top of that, most couples have not planned a wedding before so the process can seem confusing and overwhelming. A coordinator gives them an experienced partner by their side helping them navigate the process and take the guess work out of planning. We are also able to help them avoid costly mistakes. I also firmly believe that having a professional team there on the day of the wedding to ensure the couples vision comes to life and ensure problems are solved is priceless. The couple and their families have waited so long for that day, they deserve to enjoy it to the fullest.

If you’re in the beginning phases of planning your wedding it’s a post you don’t want to miss the rest of the interview!
