A Gorgeous Georgia Wedding Shared with The Southern Aisle
I am so excited about this wedding which I'm sharing with the very lovely Lauren from The Southern Aisle. Did you know her wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty? If you haven't seen it you must go see it here.
Anyhow, back to today's split post with Lauren. About a month ago, Alicia from The Charity Wedding and I did a similar post which you can see here. Alicia came up with the idea for each of us to post part of a wedding and I LOVED it so much I decided to ask Lauren if she wanted to share post this one as well. To my delight, she was excited about it too...so here we go.

A Relaxed & Fun Rincon Beach Club Wedding in Carpinteria, CA
Today's second wedding is definitely a fun one for me to share. Not only because bride and groom Shannon & Mike are two super cool and amazingly nice people, but also because the submission comes from Jessica Frey, a great friend and fantastic photographer. On top of all that, I also second shot this wedding along side Jessica. Yup...how about that? Pretty cool, huh? I've never featured a wedding where I was the second shooter, so this is definitely fun for me. Plus, I can give you a first hand account of the day, and that's a definite bonus.

A Beautiful Lace Gown, Cute-as-Can-Be Flower Girls, Cold Drinks in Mason Jars on a Warm Summer Day…All in A Lovely Wedding at Arlington’s West Mountain Inn

G O R G E O U S is the absolute best way to describe this couple and the images produced by Canadian photographer Alyssa Alkema.

Healthy Tarragon Chicken Salad with Dried Cranberries
Sorry it's been a little while since I blogged a recipe, I've been so busy...which made me think of this recipe because it's super easy, something you can throw together for yourself or your whole family when your time is limited, but you want something healthy as well. This is definitely a favorite go-to recipe for me and it's even tastier a day or two after you make it when the seasonings have a chance to really seep in. So let's get cookin'.
