20th Anniversary Shoot

The Fletcher's 20th Anniversary Shoot

The Fletcher's are an amazing family; we met them 3 years ago for their oldest daughter's Senior Portrait Session. We are blessed to have the Fletcher's be a part of our own kids’ lives, as well as a part of our life. Thank you Angela & Robert for letting us be apart of a beautiful milestone. 

Angela Fletcher and I planned this whole shoot out from the beginning. She wanted to have pictures from her anniversary to replace the pictures she did not have from her wedding day. I showed her a vintage idea and from there she and I started planning away and so the journey began with phone calls, meetings and the gathering of vintage supplies, getting in touch with the florist, candy lady, cupcake lady, vintage supplier, hair and make-up artist, and tux rental.

Angela shined her silver tea set that her Grandmother and Grandfather bought for Angela when she was a little girl, placed it in a box and marked it for Angela's Wedding. Her Grandparents gave Robert and Angela the tea set on their wedding day.

This anniversary shoot was such a fun shoot, before even arriving at Marterella Winery, I met up with the cupcake lady Jonita Green with Three Peas in a Pod Cupcakery, and she makes amazing and very tasty cupcakes for weddings, birthdays and special occasions. The day before the shoot I went to Fabienne Laveau's shop with the Wedding Muse and was able to use some of her awesome vintage props.

Our first delivery early on the morning of the photo shoot was from Shelly's Floral Enterprise, a beautiful soft pink rose bouquet, they were so beautiful! If you need a florist for your wedding Shelley Campbell is the one to call. She personally helps you select the flowers and decor that will make your vision a reality in a friendly, cheerful atmosphere totally focused on you and your needs.

Next, we were greeted by the amazing candy lady Jamie Martin with Edible Weddings; they specialize in helping THEM remember YOUR big day too!With our stunning and unique lollipop bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and other decor you'll be the most unique bride, party planner or significant other you know!

The venue for the photo shoot was none other than Marterella Winery! We are so happy that Kate Marterella had us to visit, the winery is beautiful, and they have such stunning views. We also wish to thank Hair and Make-up artist, Jacquelyn with EnlightenedStyles. You did yet another amazing job!

Here is the shoot it turned out beautiful! Enjoy.

Sharing the Blog, Meet TWILA

Today we are sharing the blog, a new practice for us here at REP. A way to help our fellow small business owners and wedding vendors. So with out further ado, Twila & Co. 

Twila & Co. takes inspiration from the world around them and uses today’s trends to bring a new perspective to its projects. It's built itself by using creativity and thought to tailor to each individual client's needs. By understanding their clients, they can help their visions become a reality. 

Twila & Co. originally started as Artketing, LLC in early 2010 by Johnna. Her love for art and creativity combined with her ability with computers allowed her to turn graphic design into a career. In the summer of 2012, Johnna attended a graphic design and publication seminar in San Francisco, CA where she was inspired to start her own women's online magazine. Twila made its debut in early Fall of 2012 and has since been a quarterly magazine. 

In the summer of 2013, Jeri joined the team bringing an event styling background to open a new division of the company. With the new division, they found that the name 'Artketing' no longer suited the services that were provided, and changed the name to Twila & Co.

Twila & Co. incorporates 3 divisions: graphic design, event styling, and Twila the magazine. While each division works separately, they find that they also work well together to offer their clients many services such as event planning, websites, invitations, logos, layouts, collateral, and more. The team takes their time to work with each client individually to ensure that their product and service goes beyond what is expected.

Andrew was so happy to be bundled up he loves being warm. 

Andrew wanted his warm cover back.

Time to try the baby bowl I crocheted.  He was the first to fit perfectly, which just made my day.
