From Tessa Marie Weddings (formerly Light Love Laughter Photography)...

I believe living with intention changes everything and puppy kisses brighten the gloomiest of days.

I believe my grandfather tells the greatest stories and true happiness is experienced when serving others.

I specialize in capturing the heartfelt glances of affection you share that cause your heart to skip a beat.

I’ve found past emotions and memories are most cherished when viewed one page at a time.

I believe in quality or quantity.

I create soul reflecting images that captivate your heart and stir your emotions.

I suspect you’ll discover your love in print is absolutely breathtaking.

Here you’ll come as a stranger and leave as a friend.

I have a unique talent and gift in capturing emotions and helping those I photograph to feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera- even the most pictures disliking individuals have a great time taking pictures.  Time and time again the parents and friends of my couples say how I captured “them” or how the pictures reflect not only their emotions but their character and personalities as well.  Customer service is my top priority and making sure my couples are engaged and informed every step of the way.

Tessa Marie Weddings (formerly known as Light Love Laughter Photography) started as a love for documenting real life- then an interest in taking control of the camera and capturing life from an artistic angle. I then discovered I could fulfill my passion for serving others and mylove for weddings not only preserving wedding stories but by being a support/servant/cheerleader/confidante for the bride on the day of her wedding.

Giveaway: A complimentary engagement session with a photo guest book (value up to $499) when you hire Tessa Marie Weddings for your wedding.  I’ll give away one free engagement session- no strings attached. To enter to win, leave a comment below.

From Urban Poppy...Urban Poppy started as a tiny seed as I created wedding bouquets and arrangements as gifts for friends who were getting married. My darling husband and I were married last October and had just returned from living and teaching abroad in Asia for a couple of years. I was giving thought to a new business (I owned a french cafe here in Savannah for several years but sold it to work and live abroad) and knew that, since I was a little child, flowers always made me happy. Urban Poppy made its debut and I was my first official bride. Thirty seven weddings later, this January marks Urban Poppy's one year anniversary.

Every arrangement is custom designed for each and every bride. I tell folks that I am not a florist, but a wedding floral designer. Because I only create for weddings and not events or the public, I am able to focus all of my creative energy on each wedding.  I'm thrilled to have a background in graphic design as well as interior decorating. This allows me to see the wedding as a whole. I am thrilled to help a bride design her whole look even if she is coming to me primarily for her flowers.  Lastly, I spend a lot of time with each bride, whether it's here in our lovely studio or on the  phone with one of our many destination brides. It takes time to build a relationship that captures the special floral vision of her wedding day.

Giveaway: Free bridal bouquet (priced up $200) with the completed booking of wedding florals in 2012 (wedding  floral budget must meet a minimum of $2,000) based on availability of proposed wedding date.




From White Dress Media....White Dress Media is passionate about creating modern, stylish cinematic wedding films. We specialize in creating a film that shares the love and celebration of your marriage.  A fun, creative approach—combined with personal, caring wedding professionals—results in the video of a lifetime.

My discount for SMP readers is $200 off any additional service such as a highlight video, rehearsal dinner coverage, same day edit, photomontage, love story interview and blu ray upgrade.



We know that you will love our newest advertisers as much as we do and, remember, make sure to stop by their sites and show them some SMP support!
