Instead of having a lined guestbook that is only filled with signatures, you might want to consider one of our custom designed guestbooks. Your friends and family have the opportunity to write sweet messages in a book next to pictures from your engagement session. Plus, they’re great to keep on your coffee table to constantly enjoy. Rachel and Christopher’s engagement session took place right here in Haile Village. You can check out their pages below and stay tuned for their wedding images!

For the high school sweethearts Kristin and Walt, getting married on family property was an easy decision. The picturesque trees and breathtaking green pastures were a photographer’s dream. The couple decided on doing a first look before the ceremony. You could see the sweet anticipation building as the time neared. Paul walked Walt out under the canopy of trees while Kristin and I hid closely by. When the scene was set, Kristin walked slowly out to a few feet behind her soon to be husband. Walt turned and tears filled in both of their eyes. They embraced… kissed, then the day began! A couple of hours later, the two were husband and wife.

This classy southern wedding was planned by ADORE Events. The DJ was Wayne from Wayne’s World Entertainment. With these two pros working together, the ceremony and reception flowed beautifully. Friends and family ate and danced under the big white tent until Kristin and Walt were ready to sneak away and start the honeymoon early! Sparklers were quickly lit and they were off. It was an incredibly sweet and sincere day as these two precious people started their lives together. As always, we were honored to be a part of it.

We are so excited to announce the opening of Footstone Ink! Footstone Ink is a custom invitation studio specializing in one of a kind stationery suites and paper goods. Innovative ideas mixed with modern style and sophistication are what define Footstone Ink as a modern stationery company.

Exclusive collections, pockets, colors, papers, and wedding favors are just some of what we will be offering with much more planned for the future. We will be launching the new website www.footstoneink.com by February 2011, along with a full promotional photo shoot scheduled for later in the year. We are thrilled to expand the Footstone brand with a new, creative outlet and we hope you love what we have in store for you!
