July 4th is the perfect excuse to break out the pyrotechnics! Red and blue smoke bombs make for a dramatic and unique portrait session. Plus they can be used before the sun goes down, giving you the chance to get some gorgeous shots when the light is perfect. 

Think about the last time your mailbox brought you joy. That last moment when you were aimlessly sifting through a stack of bills, magazines and junk mail to find the unexpected corner of a brightly colored envelope peeking out.

Is there any such thing as too many cakes? We don't think so! Which is the why we love when couples choose to add a second "groom's cake" to the reception menu. Not only is it a perfect opportunity for more cake, but it's a chance to showcase the groom's style in a way that doesn't have to fit the rest of the wedding theme. And brides are getting creative! Choosing to surprise their new hubby with a specialty cake all his own. But this fun wedding trend isn't as modern as you may think.
