Fall in Houston is a lovely time to get married and one of my favorite churches in the city is Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Midtown. This is where LeighAnn and Mike got married on a beautiful day last fall. The glow of the church at night is one of my favorite things about this...
Changing wedding plans in Houston due to COVID 19? Wow. Where do I even start? I guess I’ll just ask right off the bat…how are YOU doing? This past week has really turned into something pretty hairy. Anyone remember Y2K? And we thought that was crazy!! I know that things are rough right now for a lot...
When it comes to planning a wedding in Maine, I am unabashedly partial to the Midcoast area. This is the part of Maine where I grew up. It holds a very special place in my heart. From Bath to Belfast, this is where many of my childhood memories were made. It’s no wonder that most...

Lindsey Leigh Jewelry, or otherwise known as @houstondiamondgirl on Instagram, is a powerhouse jewelry designer and is taking Houston by storm with her concierge model of doing business....
Part two of Sowmya and Zach’s Maine wedding took us a few miles down the road to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse for ceremony number two of the day. The Kentucky couple had visited the area and the lighthouse only a few days after they got engaged. The trip with family was already planned, but Zach timed...
When Sowmya and Zach started to plan their wedding, it was an easy decision to throw a destination wedding in Maine. They had come to visit the lighthouse on Pemaquid Point only a few days after their engagement and thought to themselves, “When we get married, this would be a perfect place to do it.”...
Angie and Stephen live bustling lives in Cambridge, MA where they both work and live close by their company’s office, a company that they both work for. Angie and Stephen met at work, like many of us do, and what started out as a business trip quickly turned into something much more special. The two...
Part two of Anja and Amitabh’s wedding picks up where we left off. In part one I shared intimate photos from their welcome dinner and private vows. After some lunch, a nap, and a little relaxation, family started to arrive at the house for the second ceremony of the day. Officiated by Amitabh’s mother, the...
This wedding was so special that it needs to be shared in two parts to fully convey the love and sentiment that went into this weekend. In July I flew to Boston and drove to Belmont to the home of Anja and Amitabh, where they would be hosting their friends and family for a weekend...

Today I am featuring a team of outstanding women who make up the team at Events by Sarah. Lead by owner Sarah...
I’m going state the obvious for a second….weddings are very bride centric. The wedding industry is heavily geared toward catering to what the bride wants at HER wedding. Go to any wedding blog and this is apparent from the start. Even wedding pros themselves are notorious for having language on their website that give the...
Houston’s historic firehouse wedding venue With all the wedding venues in Houston to choose from, one of my favorites is a historical landmark. Nestled just outside downtown on the corner of Houston Ave and Spring Street sits one of Houston’s oldest, original fire stations. This stunning, brick building is a charming location for truly intimate...
Hotel ZaZa Memorial City – Houston Wedding Venue For my birthday this March I decided it was time for a little r&r. With my parents here visiting from Maine, I took advantage of the free childcare and told my husband that we were going on a little staycation. I have been wanting to stay the...
If you are engaged and planning a wedding in 2020 now is the time to start looking for your photographer! After you’ve chosen the venue and locked that in, the next vendor, generally, to get booked is the photographer. We tend to get hired 9-12 months in advance (sometimes more than that!) so now is...
I left my home in Katy, Texas on a Friday afternoon and headed north on an adventure to visit a new wedding venue way on the outskirts of city or suburban life. Drive up 99 and then northwest on highway 290, and before you can blink and eye you have officially left suburban sprawl and...
Half way between Houston and Austin, nestled around hill country, are small, quintessential Texas towns. Tiny communities that people flock to for antiquing season, wildflowers in the spring and BBQ, well, anytime. One of those towns is Round Top, a mecca for weekend antiquing trips and bargain hunters looking for that one rare find. In...
Today is Father’s Day. So today I’d like to do a “where are they now?” piece, highlighting three of my past clients who have recently become fathers or are expecting their first child in a few, short weeks. All three of these men were grooms from my most special weddings and all these people hold a...
