calling vegas photographers!

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas print (state2)
{ welcome to fabulous las vegas print by toucanne }

anyone know of (or are you!) a photographer willing to come meet us for an hour on thursday or friday *this week* for an engagement shoot in vegas?

(mom, we're not eloping, i swear!)

similar to my boston post, which is how we met the amazing emily sterne, for your time and trouble i can offer you a permanent text link on the blog, a post about you and the experience, and dinner if you'd like it!

we're nice people, i promise. let me know in comments or etsywedding (at) gmail, and thanks everyone for your help with this last-minute idea!

hello all -- i apologize for being MIA. we shipped the magazine at work, and now i'm at a work conference (i swear!) in las vegas. my first time back since my sister's wedding in '07, which was the reason i started this blog in the first place. so much has changed in my life and hers since then.

more on that when i don't have an *8am* meeting. cruelty, thy name is vegas work conference.

in the meantime, i've been a bad blogger. i owe you results for the watercolor map giveaway, and i have amazing photography and jewelry giveaways on deck if i can get myself organized. thank you as always for your patience! much to do and see, and more soon!

quick peek: personal

i owe you guys an explanation of why there's been nary a peep about my own wedding on here -- it's kind of a funny story, sorta -- there *has* been progress!

i was using tumblr to share a few ideas over the last few months with my sister, although there aren't many posts -- anyway, here's a peek into my formerly secret tumblog:
nopath.tumblr.com -- password: etsywedding

nothing too earthshaking, but i will pop my ideas in there as they arrive...
thank you all for reading!
