October 10: Lindsey

Lindsey is one smart chick! She booked us early for what ended up being the biggest wedding day of the year! What a cool date ~ 10.10.10

Mindy and Amy prepped the girls for a fabulous celebration! Don of D.Bryant Photography took some amazing shots of the girls! There are a few more pictures on his blog too! 

Dan (DJ 5) of Beat 2 Beat DJs rocked this wedding too!

Ah....wish we could work with all of our favorite vendors every weekend :) Luckily, we get to see Beat 2 Beat and D.Bryant several times a month!

 How much fun are they having??

September 25: Jody

Have you ever met that person and everything just clicked? Well, if you met Jody you would get that feeling. Jody was a dream bride to work with all through her planning.  When Cara and I walked into to her hotel conference room I knew we were going to have a blast! Not only were each of the girls super appreciative and incredibly sweet but they were genuinely excited to be a part of Jody's big day. 

Jody and her bridesmaids get the award for best play list on an ipod for 2010! They had some awesome music and we totally jammed out to some good old school! I wish I could get a copy of it....might make working out a lot more fun :) 

Also, we can't forget to mention the super duper Jen from JLowe Photography. Another talented gal that I could spend hours with just chatting! Love her and love her work! 

 Love these shots taken at Savage Mill!

 Gorgeous!

 Love her color combo!

October 23: Annemarie

 Danielle and I spent the morning with Annemarie and her girls at the Governor Calvert House. These girls were super sweet and so laid back. I can't say enough how awesome our Annapolis brides are! It was also fun to run into Don and Jill of D.Bryant Photography. Love this team! I've never seen another photographer share, post, blog, edit, slideshow display or facebook photos as fast as Don. He is speedy and always provides instant gratification! Absolutely awesome and his service is top notch! Also, Dan (DJ 5) from Beat 2 Beat DJs rocked the wedding! Can't go wrong with awesome vendors :)

Glam the Dress!!! Alli's version

I did Alli's wedding September 2009. I had sooo much fun with her on the wedding day that I knew her Glam The Dress session would be great! As an anniversary present, Alli grabbed some fabulous accessories, pretty flowers and teamed up with some smart talented people :) Balance Photography shot her session and Up-Do's did the hair and make-up! It was fun putting a vintage spin on her hair and giving her a dramatic eye! Enjoy! These are phenomenal! I highly recommend doing a Glam The Dress shoot after your big day! It's always fun to put on that special dress again! 

 We took a quick break at Bean Hollow in Ellicott City. Alli changed her accessories :)

 Super classy vintage hair! 

 Gorgeous flowers Nathaniel whipped up for the shoot!

Have you seen us?

 As we begin to end 2010 we look back at the year to see how we have grown! Each year is getting better and better for the gals at Up-Do's For I Do's! It's amazing to see the places and people that have taken an interest in our business and the services that we offer.  I love it when different publishers like to take our ideas, concepts and inspirations to share with the public!  We love to see our name in lights, our brides printed in real wedding sections and rave reviews from past clients!  We've been featured! Have you seen us? 

Just for fun- Thanks to Andy for the shout out! It was great to meet you!

Nov 20: Brittny

Saturday morning Shanna and Beth headed to the gorgeous Westin in Annapolis to help Brittny and her gals get ready. Our eyes always light up when we hear that Don and his lovely wife Jill of D.Bryant Photography are going to be capturing the big day. Don is the ONLY photographer I know who produces instant results leaving everyone including the hairstylist happy! Not only do brides get a slideshow at the wedding but they get to see a sneak peak on his blog and facebook instantly! I was thrilled to wake up Sunday morning with a link from Don to not only his stunning photos of this group but to the freaking NEW YORK POST!!!! Woo! How exciting to have our work showcased in the big apple! Congrats to Brittny and Brandon! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your big day!
