I’m gathering quite the page of kick ass vendors/inspiration sites*. These are people in the industry that not only would you draw inspiration from for your special day, but you can just as easily sit down with and have a beer (or coffee). And since Hi-Fi is all about the tunes in our lives, we’re gonna get to know what these peeps dig on musically.

Caroline, dear Caroline, is another photographer who is just as kickass as her images! You can tell form the candid shots she captures of two lovebirds that she’s always there at the right time. Her energy and passion for her work is clear in every single photograph and it’s been an absolute joy featuring her on Hi-Fi and getting to know the lady behind the lens!

Can you describe your life (so far) in 3-5 songs?
Neil Diamond “Sweet Caroline” // because it brings back so many memories growing up, people like to sing it to me, and because my dad and I danced to it at my wedding
Derek Webb “Wedding Dress” // because it’s the perfect way to explain my faith. this song is full of raw honesty, emotion, and truth.
Ray Lamontagne “Hold you in my arms” // because it’s what my husband and I danced to at our wedding
Salt N Pepa “Push It” // because it’s one of my favorite songs to dance to, and i’m a dancing machine. as they say in the song “this dance ain’t for everybody, only the sexy people”

What is your favorite love song?
U2 “With or Without You” // because it’s my all time favorite song and because I once read Bono describe the lyrics romantic intention by saying “There’s nothing more revolutionary than two people loving each other. One, ’cause it’s so uncommon these days, and two, ’cause it’s so difficult to do.” TRUTH!

If you could go see anyone perform live who would it be?
U2 performing all songs from Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, and a few scattered from the last 5 years. And maybe Sigur Ros could open for them. It would be best night of all time and I would cry during every song.

What is your preferred format of music?
Mp3 because it fits in my pocket. And I’m a sucker for Shuffle!

Are you a musician? If so, what do you play? If not, what would you play?
I can play guitar pretty well but sing pretty awful. I’m planning on teaching myself piano in the fall 🙂

*Do you know someone who should be on the vendor/inspiration page? Just email me and let’s chat!
