To those of you who did have a wedding in the year 2000, do you remember it? I remember being close to planning my wedding, having gotten married in 2002. What I remember most was the rush of weddings all throughout the year, as every weekend seemed to be indicative of a milestone in our world.

The year 2000....ahh! The coding frenzy for the Y2K software switch and the fashion trends of track suits, cargo pants, and crop tops with low-rise jeans. The pop music world had Britney Spears leading the charts. Oh yes - the MUSIC! How many of you played "Breathe" by Faith Hill or "Smooth" by Santana at your dance reception?

Gowns included the somewhat new square necklines or strapless minimalist styles with shiny fabrics like taffeta and satin. What did your gown look like?

I hope you are ready to get dressed up again! We are looking to celebrate your Silver Wedding Anniversary this year with a portrait session in our studio and a complimentary silver-framed 5x7" print with any purchase. Just fill in your info HERE and we will give you a call!
