Blog post about a blog!
I know that I never write a blog post that doesn't have photos, but there's a first time for everything! As a wedding professional, I read a lot of wedding blogs. I like to know as much as possible about weddings and what is important for brides so that I can do my job better. I also just love the flowers, DIY projects, photos, and all the details that go into weddings!I found an absolute favorite blog that I'd like to share with you: Weddingbee. This blog has many writers, all brides to be or recently married women. They write about their experiences in planning their weddings. In addition to the blog there are galleries, a forum/board to discuss weddings, classifieds to buy and sell wedding goods, and even a vendor section (although I'm not an advertiser.)I just wanted to share this with all of you because it is such a great resource! I hope you enjoy. www.CourtneyGoldman.com

I'm getting so excited about this weekend's wedding with Victoria and John! It is going to be at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is a favorite venue of mine. The weather is supposed to be perfect -- sunny with a high of 70! I realized that I hadn't blogged their engagement photos yet, and thought this would be a great time. These photos were also taken at The Garden, but instead of the spring blooms we'll be seeing this weekend, there were gorgeous fall leaves. Here are some of my favorites.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday!This is the final post on Katherine and Logan's Wedding Celebration. Katherine and Logan were actually married a year ago, so they walked down the aisle together.Also, since they didn't need an ordained officiant, the father of the bride led the ceremony. It was quite touching!I love catching a sweet moment between the bride and groom during the ceremony.Here's the happy couple during their first dance.And the father daughter dance.These girls had such a great time dancing! I took this photo while lying on the dance floor!The mother and father of the bride, enjoying the music.Congratulations to Katherine and Logan!
