Engagement Photos {Kate+Mitch}

Kate+Mitch had their engagement pictures snapped earlier this week, and I just couldn't wait to share! The awesome Jen of JK Photography travelled to Chicago to take some amazing photos of this very fun couple! Check out her blog for even more---they found some really fun locations, from a light shop to a marina! Above is my absolute favorite shot, but it has some close competition!
The exact spot where Mitch proposed! I love it! Kate+Mitch are getting married on the beach, also, which is perfect!
Thanks so much to Kate+Mitch (and Jen) for letting me share some of their amazing engagement pics!

Here Come the Brides {Kate+Mitch}

Kate+Mitch both live in Chicago, and are planning a beautiful destination wedding in St. Joseph. Their ceremony will take place at Shadowland Pavilion along the beach and the St. Joseph River, and their reception will be at the beautiful Heritage Center in downtown St. Joseph.
Kate+Mitch are such a fun and sweet couple, and will be so much fun to plan with!

Blog Feature {Here Come the Brides!}

You may have noticed we have some new links in our Sidebar! I'm excited to start a new feature called "Here Come the Brides," which will feature posts specific to several couples who are currently working with Stella Event Design to plan their '08 and '09 weddings! We're starting out with just a few, and depending on how it works, we'll add more!

Starting today, I'll do a quick intro for one couple each day. As I post information about their planning, inspiration, etc., click on their link to follow along! You'll be able to follow each couple start to finish as they plan their big day! Perhaps you'll find a couple sharing your same color scheme, motif, or location! Each of the brides was nice enough to let everyone in on their planning, and I'm so excited to get some feedback as we brainstorm locations, flowers, music, and more! Stay tuned!

Inspiration for Kate

A very cute celadon and brown inspiration board put together by April at Blu.Sky.Designs, for one of my summer '09 brides.

Check out her blog for details on where to get all of these great finds!
