Re-post from Valentine’s Day 2010!

One of my absolute favorite things about my job is the opportunity to meet and become friends with fantastic people in the industry. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to meet Katie from Simply and Forever. Not only is she a totally rad person, but she writes a delightful blog for her wedding coordination and planning business. (Which I added to my Google Reader immediately!) When browsing her blog yesterday, I saw this lovely little engagement shoot by the fantabulous Stephanie Williams Photography. I couldn’t help but want to share this with all of you during our Valentine’s Day week series. How cute are the red hearts everywhere?

Want to see more? Head on over to the original post on Stephanie Williams Photography blog. Don’t forget to visit Simply & Forever’s Blog, too!
