"Enjoy the Moment"
This is how I feel after photographing the wedding this weekend in the Outer Banks, NC. I am truly inspired and refreshed. Photographing weddings is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. From meeting new people to witnessing love at the most highlighted times, photographing weddings make me remember to enjoy the moment.
Today's card captures that moment (or at least I tried to capture it)! Using lots of texture, I created a simple layout and design with lots of color. I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend.

- Stamp sentiment and adhere.
