Curbside Cupcakes is the latest cupcake craze in our area. They offer cupcakes for purchase immediately when you see their truck or they can deliver curbside when you’ve placed an order. Currently they are servicing Capitol Hill and Downtown – a perfect excuse to visit my husband at work on the Hill! Image from Curbside Cupcake.

Jen and Aaron were married on Halloween, which is Jen’s favorite holiday. There was a little bit of fun (spider web menu cards, pumpkin cake) incorporated and everything turned out perfectly. This is one of my favorite shots of them at the end of the ceremony, which took place outside in the dark! Deb Lindsey did a fantastic job capturing the evening.

If you are recently engaged and venue searching, hire your planner first. A planner can give you all the ins and outs of venues, plus let you know where additional costs are. For instance, some venues require a tent if it rains and some venues require additional security if your guest count is over a certain number. These are thing you may not have thought about or considered, and a planner can inform you prior to contracting a venue. In the end, a planner can help you best manage your budget.
