And of course, the images that the forever talented team at Carla Ten Eyck including Michael Romano, Katie Slater and Nicole Taylor,...

There is just something about a DIY inspired wedding. Knowing that the bride, the groom, the friends, the family members all took time to craft a wedding with their own hands is well, lovely. I know that might sound cheesy, but to me, it’s the handmade touches that really make a wedding special. No matter what your budget, no matter how large your vendor list…it’s always nice to have a little bit of handmade charm.
