A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Holly & Marty’s Darling DIY Shindig
Here’s a wedding shot by yours truly! Holly and Marty’s wedding was nothing short of extraordinary! I have known Holly since the late nineties, when LiveJournal was the biggest thing to hit the internet. Our friendship blossomed through the 1s and 0s and I’ll never forget the first time we met in person. It was at a local band show, and I remember being a bit nervous. Who would have thought that some twelve years later I would have the privilege to capture Holly marry her best friend?! I was in awe at how much Holly and her friends poured themselves into the wedding, it was DIY galore!
Holly is still a blogger and she has shared so many of her projects! From the bridesmaids’ details, to the flower vases and flowers, to the pennants, every piece of that wedding came together with love! Holly and Marty’s wedding was packed full of enchantment, laughter, dancing, and a WILD Looking Glass (be sure to check out the video in the post)!

A great mix of music and what a song for the father daughter dance. Don’t worry, Be Happy. Now that sounds like something a laid back father would tell their daughter on her big day.
