We've seen our fair share of creative engagement sessions here at SMP... everything from rooms filled to the brim with balloons to drop-dead gorgeous locales to crazy gorgeous themes.  And when it comes to these two sweeties, it's the appearance of their college alma mater that has our hearts pitter pattering. Because a happy frolic through the very place they first met and fell in love is kind of like the best thing ever.  As are the breathtaking photos captured by the ever-talented ...

I am always simply astounded by a dedicated DIY-inspired couple, and this bride and groom are no different. They brewed their own beer to make homemade gifts for guests, and they learned how to make letterpress stationery in their very own dining room! I am beyond impressed! The venue, Architectural Artifacts, offered the perfect place to turn their vision into a reality. I especially love the transformation of the ceremony...

Ashley Biess Photography captured their fun-loving spirits and...
