The News You’ve been waiting for || Light Love Laughter is now Tessa Marie Weddings

Hey everyone! You may have wondered where I’ve been- the blog hasn’t been nearly as active in recent weeks and what’s been up with all these “behind the scenes” Facebook posts?

Over a year ago I started thinking about changing my business name again but I resisted then I got serious again in June and decided it was now or never. I’d been watching google analytics and chatting with previous and current brides and grooms and some startling facts started to be seen over and over again.

Very few when asked directly what the name of my company was could get all three words correct- the right words in the right order. This was seen both when people are searching for us online and when speaking to them in person. You may have seen the name in your Facebook feed a million times over- but when directly asked what that name was suddenly your mind goes blank.

I work hard to build a relationship with my couples- they don’t know me as a company but by name as their friend so having the name of my company be my name started to make since. This was only the beginning.. I had a name but now I had to dig deep and really decide what parts of myself and my interests I wanted to reflect in my branding. Thanks to Pintrest this was made much easier but it still takes TIME. Hours and HOURS of time.

I owe a HUGE thanks to the crew at Flosites for all their hard work, answering questions, and helping me meet my deadlines… one of those being this weekend! I’ve learned that you can’t try to rush things like this… it’s kinda a big deal and it takes time- lots of time to make sure everything is just right.

So I was going to wait a few more weeks until the official launch of the new website… but I can’t keep it quiet anymore. We’ll be doing the Cobb Bridal show tomorrow as our first official debut of the new brand and name for our company. While everything remains the same- the name is changing but the experience we continue to provide our amazing and wonderful brides and grooms will only continue to improve as we continue to push ourselves to do and be the BEST.

So I’d love to introduce you to new face of Light Love Laughter Photography…

So I believe they had the silliest flower girl and ring bear ever. Totally a spontaneous moment below. Simply hilarious! Apparently she was DONE with pictures- and we’d just got started! :)

My favorite picture of groomsmen ever. Notice the ring bear. I just about died laughing when I saw him do this… and it’s not something he was going to do if asked to do again!

This would be the gazebo- the place where they shared their first kiss and Rebecca said “yes”. It was actually pitch black as the sun had just set but with the help of the iphone and a little off camera flash we created some magical pictures. LOVE them!

Thank you guys for sharing such a beautiful day with myself and Lydia. We were honored to be there to tell your story and wish you all the very best in your futures together!

Wedded Bliss | Sunny Winter Wedding at Frost Chapel

They returned the the place where it all began… the green fields filled with deer, the wide open spaces and beauty of Swan Lake. The little gazebo where they shared their first kiss and where Daniel asked Rebecca to be his wife. They dated through college and then Rebecca went to nursing school and their love continued to grow. Daniel has been her support and strength while she’s worked hard to earn her nursing degree and as she works to earn her nurse practitioners license… his love, support and strength remain.

They were so excited to be married as this is a day they’ve looked forward to and anticipated for a very long time (9 years and counting!). The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful and everything came together beautifully with special thanks to Holly and her team at The Season Events. Rebecca was such a stunning bride and her groom would absolutely agree. He spent much of the morning in absolute awe of her beauty…. knowing this girl was soon to be his wife!

Rebecca started her day at Blonde on Broad in downtown Rome. The ladies there are some of the best and most talented in town and they never cease to amaze me with their work!

I decided to do some of the details shots at the salon and they resulted in some of my absolute favorite ring pictures to date! (Her ring is So pretty!!)

His wedding band was made from the catalytic converter of his favorite car. It looks heavy but was really lightweight.

Rebecca and Daniel decided to do a first look – not only did they share sweet moments- they also got to take advantage of the most beautiful light for their portraits and we completed all the pictures before the ceremony. All of them!
