August is going to be a busy month on Once Wed. We’re introducing new contributors, launching our vendor guide, and uploading a ton of new images to our galleries. We’ve already started loading some new weddings this week in our real wedding galleries, and the wedding of Paul and Cassie recently sent in by Jonas Peterson is one of my favorites. To see more of this wedding, click real weddings…
P.S. – Our DIY projects will be back in full swing next week…
I came across the beautiful work of Promise Tangeman while reading evie s this morning. She recently created the invitations above and below for a friend’s wedding which I couldn’t resist posting here. Promise is a photographer and graphic designer, and I love how she incorporates both mediums in her invitations.
Craig of Bus33 Films did a fabulous job of filming Sam and Kaitlyn’s oh so fun wedding with Super 8. I would definitely suggest checking it out below. The beginning part of the film involving the invitation box is so cute!
I wanted to give one last shout out to all the wonderful vendors involved in The Free Wedding below. Also, thank you again to Sam, Kaitlyn, and Jonah for being such a great family to work with. We wish all three of you a lifetime of happiness and love!

If you can’t already tell…we had a lot of fun of putting together this event. A lot of love and time went into making this wedding happen, but I think everyone involved would do it over again in a heartbeat. We’ve got one more post coming up, but I will leave you with the last post of images from Our Labor of Love. Check out Sam and Kaitlyn’s getaway at the bottom…
Stay tuned for Sam and Kaitlyn’s adorable Super 8 film coming up next!

I always jump at the chance to brag on my friend, Joy Thigpen. Very few people have such a mind blowing talent like Joy has when it comes to designing and styling events…seriously. There are no limits to what she can come up with, and I love how every wedding she designs is a true reflection and celebration of the couple she is working with(which is what its truly all about at the end of the day, ya know?). Oh, and did I also mention they always turn out to be drop dead gorgeous events…
Stay tuned for Part II of their reception coming up next!
