Congratulations to sweet Erin Hemric, one of my engaged brides! Here is Erin's answer :
I love families gathering under the summer sky celebrating a wedding together with a good home cooked meal. And then, sending the bride and groom off through the lights of sparklers.
I think you will find a ton of lovely inspiration in this magazine to help with all your wedding plans. Please email me your home address and I'll send it to you soon!
There are a few magazines out there that I read religiously. In order for me to know I am going to buy a magazine every single time it comes out, it has to have beautiful images, solid content, stunning layout, and it must be current. My magazine laundry list includes :
Southern Weddings
Real Simple
Pottery Barn
Weddings Unveiled
Martha Stewart Living
Whether it's the newness of the magazine (only 3 issues to date), the social media buzz, the lovely Southern Weddings blog I follow, or simply the fact that my roots are as Southern as they can get, I must say that I have never been more excited to receive a fresh new issue of a magazine then Southern Wedding's V3! Pure joy when it arrived in my mailbox, I kid you not. I lit a candle, cozied up on my sofa chair, and soaked in it's goodness. Not to mention, one of my images made its way into these beautiful pages. Check it out!
So, in honor of this beautiful new issue, I am giving one copy of V3 away! To enter the giveaway, simply follow these two steps :
1. Leave a comment on this post including your favorite southern wedding detail. Mason Jars? Lace veils? Outdoor twinkle lights? It can be anything, as long as it's a detail.
2. Update your twitter status to say " I heart @iloveswmag and I want to win @nancyray's V3 giveaway! http://www.nancyrayblog.com "
The contest closes on Friday, the 22nd at NOON est. I can't wait to hear about your favorite details!
there have been lots of fun things going on over here at nancy ray photography. in just a few more weeks, i will have my home studio up and running, a brand new gallery for online proofing, and all of my fun boutique products ready for sale. i am really transforming my photography business into a boutique, which i love. it reflects more of who i am, and more of what i want to give my brides and grooms. the products i offer are simple and of the highest quality. i personally am in love with each of them!
2 new products i am offering are mini albums and stationary. i love them!
mini albums:
these mini albums are to die for! they come in 2 textures [leather & linen] and 6 different colors [black, blue, brown, red, white, pink & green]. they are the exact replica of your flush-mount album, just teensy! measuring 4" x 4", they are perfect for carrying your wedding photos in your purse or giving them as gifts. and yes, they come with this adorable little cover.
below: comparing a 12" x 12" flush-mount album with the mini album.
stationary:
i love love love these save-the-dates. they are so unique! 5" x 5" square format, linen paper, simple yet beautiful design. of course the text will match your wedding information :]
below: an easy way to thank all of your guests? customized thank you notes! corresponding with your save-the-date design, these thank you notes will save your hand from lots of writing after the big day. and you know me - i'm a big fan of simplicity!
i'm not sure if you have heard of the TOMS store, but it is an amazing organization. firstly, they make shoes. cute shoes. shoes for guys and girls, and they look nothing like any other shoes you've seen. secondly, and most importantly, for every pair of shoes you buy from TOMS, they donate another pair to a child in need.
something i found out today is that TOMS has come out with a wedding line! TOMS wedding shoes. brilliant if you ask me! brides & grooms... click HERE to see their adorable wedding shoes... AND, if your entire wedding party wears TOMS on your wedding day, you get a discount!
here's to hoping that one of my brides will wear TOMS on her wedding day!
last minute shopping? still trying to decide what to get that special someone? email me about gift certificates & i can get it to you by Christmas! if you are already done with your shopping, just keep this in mind for birthdays, anniversaries, & other special occasions. it's the perfect gift!
) Congrats on having your photography featured in Southern Weddings! That is so very exciting! My favorite southern wedding detail : twinkle lights & lemonade in mason jars! Hope you have a lovely evening!
These all look so great, you’re so motivated to do something different!
Claw hand! See it? 2nd picture, hahaha.
I am Erin Hemric’s grandmother (your neighbor at Breezewood Condos) and am looking forward to seeing her photos.
