So happy to spend this little time off before Christmas blogging the rest of my 2015 events! I had such a wild, quick, busy, but FUN {first} year doing wedding florals/planning/styling and at times I felt on top of the world! And others, so low that I didn't think I would ever get back up. It's all part of learning, failing, growing. With that being said, Kaylie + Cory's wedding was one I was so proud to be a small part of. It is mirrored in my 2016 goals because of it's authenticity, intimacy, simplicity, and gorgeousness. The bride and groom, and all their guests and loved ones were there for exactly the right reason… to witness Cory marry Kaylie in front of God.
Kaylie chose the FABULOUS Jennifer Blair Photography to capture her wedding day and I don't know how that little blondie is able to capture every special moment so flawlessly, but she does! Can't wait to work with her again! Thank you to the lovely Sarah Bretz for assisting with this wedding!

Victoria Austin Designs Wedding | Jennifer Blair Photography | Kaylie + Cory

I love reliving this special day through these perfect photos! Kaylie was a stunning bride, and their day just radiates joy! She has become such a good friend of mine and I can't wait to see where their marriage journey takes them. She's also a kickass photographer herself and I can't wait for more fun weddings together. All the best wishes to this sweet couple!
This wedding can also be seen in Style Me Pretty.

Better late than never, right? A few months ago, I found Kaylie on Instagram (of course) and instantly loved her light, beachy and authentic feed. Then, jumping off the screen was her bio. "Emerald Coast.."? No way! Not only do I know and love that area, but it's only about 2 hours away. I emailed her that night to see if she wanted to grab coffee! We instantly connected, I mean, she was able to finish my sentences! And after what seemed like a long year business-wise, she totally "just got it", and was a breath of fresh air.
I absolutely ADORE Kaylie, her work and her heart. We have so much fun on our little lunch dates (we meet in the middle, in Pensacola) and talk about all things under the sun. Kaylie so graciously came to Fairhope last Fall to take some beautiful photos of me, Andrew and Otto. I couldn't be happier with them. I never realized we needed photos of Otto (seeing as he runs this house, never going unnoticed), but he is our favorite little guy in the whole wide world and our house now feels complete with him up on the walls! "As it should…", Otto would say. :)
You can see all of our session in my portfolio.

Family Session on Film Victoria Austin Designs and Kaylie Poplin

These make me so happy! I will never tire of them. We had so much fun during it too. Otto was not the most focused model, but other than that we actually all really enjoyed ourselves! Kaylie made us feel so comfortable, and although probably not on the top of Andrew's wish list, I think he is really happy we did this!
Since this shoot, Kaylie and I have been busy working on my branding photos, and planning for upcoming nuptials! I will share more about both of those soon!
