	Drew and Chrissy Nolan married on July 30, 2011

Hello Friends!

I have been searching for a way to communicate more with all of you that would be as if I was picking up the phone for a friendly chat... enter this monthly newsletter! I feel like after 4 years and over 100 weddings, we've learned a thing or two about a wedding day and the whole process. We will take an in depth look at what works and what doesn't and share it with you from an unbiased viewpoint. We've met some fabulous friends and vendors that truly care and we will use this opportunity to spotlight those that go above and beyond to make sure the day goes well. We will have interviews from past brides with a behind the scenes perspective into some of our weddings and highlight neat wedding trends as well. In addition, we will share some details about making your family portrait sessions more fun and unique to you.

XOXO

Fairyland Club Lookout Mountain, Georgia

I'm thrilled to feature the Fairyland Club as our first vendor to be in the spotlight of our first monthly newsletter! Tammy Puryear has been our point of contact for Fairyland since we first began photographing weddings and we just can't say enough great things about her. We really enjoy working with Tammy and her team and would highly suggest the Fairyland Club as a top choice for wedding venues. I asked Tammy to write a little bit about the club, read what she said about this amazing venue on Soli's Blog.

Custom Hangers

If your dress could have it's own room many of you would probably allow it! You spend so much time picking out the most amazing dress it shouldn't just hand on any hanger. These custom beauties are inexpensive ranging from $20-30 depending on what type and whom you buy it from. What a sweet way to feature the dress of your dreams and to let me document it with my camera. Check out this vendor on Etsy: iVision.
