I started this blog years ago with a Diamond Rings song, so I’m excited to share this new love song that was just released. It’s so exclusive that all I can share is the video (watch above) or this link to stream Diamond Rings’ entire new album. Hope you enjoy! xo

Each week I digitize a 45 from my own personal collection and share it with the earholes of the internet. The Sunday Singles are not just for those planning a wedding, but for music lovers across the board. It’s a recollection of the past with the sound of vinyl against a needle and the warm song that results.

Side A:
Tired of Waiting on You

Side B:
Come on Now

Who doesn’t love The Kinks?! Even though Side A isn’t a very romantic song, it still makes for a GREAT sing-a-long…plus it might add a bit of humor to your playlist if you had a long engagement. I would lol. xo

I might be a bit biased with this wedding, since I was lucky enough to photograph it. I couldn’t stop my heart from fluttering on the drive home from Michael and Elizabeth’s Sonnet House wedding. Everything was so incredibly magical! Gorgeous candy colored dresses, whimsical flowers, adorable DIY elements, beautiful sunshine, huge smiles, and radiating love are just a handful of things that made the day so full of photo ops. Working alongside two of my best friends, Matt (DJ) and Dustin (video), made it even more joyful, as we were all able to witness the love between Michael and Elizabeth.

Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a glorious weekend! I have a wonderful treat, and I’m sure you’ll agree that Peter and Shruthi are the cutest! Add in their adorable home away from home and it’s just picture perfect! I love that their favorite albums can travel along with them. There’s always a love song nearby…and that’s the way it should be!

Ty Segall – Would You Be My Love

Hey friends! My apologies for the radio silence. I’ve been busy traveling, shooting, and hosting shows in our record store. When real life happens, I sometimes forget about my life made from 1s and 0s! Hopefully we can still be friends and you’ll forgive me for the down times during the busy times. I love you so, and here’s a song to make amends! xo
