Wish Upon a Wedding...Wishing this couple the happiest of futures!

A few months ago, I was asked to join the Wish Upon A Wedding team, a non-profit organization granting weddings to couples with terminal illnesses.  After hearing Sasha and Joe’s story and learning of Sasha's battle with terminal breast cancer, I started designing!

Event & Studio Photography:  Liga Photography   Invitations:  The 2u Collection    Venue:  The Rosen Plaza  Videography:  Treasured Moment Video Ceremony Music:  Christine MacPhail   Floral:  Unforgettable Events  Officiant:  A Beautiful Ceremony   Cocktail Hour Music:  The Edge Effect    Linens:  Over the Top    Chairs & Centerpieces:  A Chair Affair   Hair / Makeup:  Marigold Scott    Cake:  Party Flavors    Lighting:  Soundwave Entertainment   Entertainment:  Carrara Nour    Planner:  Terry Smedley & Brittany Ellis  Favors:  RW Couture Chocolate Fountains

Sasha and Joe have been together for 8 years and share 5 beautiful children together. Their one wish was to get married with all of their family and friends baring witness. I am truly honored to have had participated in such a heartfelt occasion. 

Sasha found a design she like from Paper Couture Stationery our Limited-Edition, Ready-Made online boutique, but I wanted to jazz it up a bit for her special day, so we altered the design slightly, using her wedding colors, adding a bit of sparkle with crystals and die cutting to the programs!

These great favor tags were tied to Disco Balls by RW Couture Chocolate Fountains! If you have ever read this blog before you know, one of our guilty pleasures, is ANYTHING from RW Couture Chocolate Fountains, but I must confess, the DISCO BALLS I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

We are so proud to have been a part of this, as well as honored to work along side everyone else involved! Revel in this touching event below with the amazing images by Liga Photography and the video by Treasured Moment Video.

Exciting New Images for Paper Couture Stationery!

I know I've been away for a bit.. But I have a great reason. Abby Liga and I have been busy reshooting the Paper Couture Stationery Website. As many of you know Liga Photography is a partner in our Ready Made Limited Edition Line of Stationery.


This has been our brain child for a while, but as you know in Wedding Season it's hard sometimes to find the time.  We finally just decided to carve out a day and do it.  The goal here was to present our fine stationery in a romantic and functional way.Many of our brides tell us, they have trouble visualizing what their stationery will look like at their wedding, so we decided to shoot everything in a Anthropology, Table setting environment. Hopefully this will help all of you visualize how amazing your stationery will look in the reception environment.


Stay Tuned, we should have all the new images up in the next month, so be sure to check back now and then to see our new designs and new photography!
