I've been a little busy and Sunday I was involved in a photo shoot that lasted 10 hours! The photoshoot was for a new company, Feather and Form which I am very lucky to be a part of!
Feather and Form is a collaborative event design firm located in Cocoa Village mixing event design and planning with photography.
What you will see here is just a sampling of the day.

Pearl Jam - Backspacer Short
When Eddie Vedder did the Into the Wild soundtrack, I was in a word - mesmerized.
Oh how I missed them, and now they are back and I am oh so happy!
I wanted to put up one of the images today that I was so honored to capture yesterday of Carrie and Cleon before we head to India Fest. They are both some of the most charismatic and loving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! Congratulations Carrie and Cleon, and THANK YOU for letting me spend time with you!

Ready for a most excellent, collaborative contest within a contest?
We’re pretty excited.
Firstly because we love Miniature Rhino’s pretty handmade shop. (Surely you’ve seen Jessica’s work around the blogs?) Secondly because the impetus for this particular giveaway was to create a collaborative entry for Martha Stewart + Etsy’s handmade wedding details contest. read more here...
... of myself.
I have to date, read two books!
This is an amazing fete for me, I haven't much time in the past 10 years to do much reading, but reading has become a huge pasttime in our home. The girl has picked up a series of books, and is on the 3rd series. We've always read to her and hoped she would find books she loves. She's not a girlie girl and prefers fantasy books to drama. I'm not bothered, I just want her to read!
I have just finished two books myself! The first called, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I have to say that it was a good read. The theme has been done before, but it was a good read and it kept my interest. I had to check out the Large Print from the library because all the others had been checked out and it took forever to finish! Which is amazing because it shouldn't have taken so long, but it took about a week to read. Then I spent about 5 hours yesterday reading Lowboy, a completely opposite book from the previous and it was very captivating :)
So, I guess this means I have to stop reading magazines as my source for literally thought, and keep on with the novels. Next up is The Life of Bee's. I have to say though, I'm a bit of a book snob and design freak. I will most definitely pick one book over another because of the cover! I know I know it is horrible, but come - on, it is true! The beautiful will always win over the others... :) Next on my mental list is a Jane Austen book. I haven't ever read Jane's work, but have seen so many of the adaptations on film - I think it is high time I actually read the book and truly get to know Miss Austen.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, ciao bellas!
PS
I did sneek in a Colin Cowie book off the shelf at the library, along with a Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Entertaining book... hehehe
I'm a little bit crazy about videos with Dance like this.
I grew up during the MTV craze and followed entertainers like Janet Jackson and Madonna trying to copy their every dance move - this however takes the cake! How awesome and creative is this?!?!?!

5 stars!

totally snagged from Beka's blog... I'm such a blogstalker!
I don't know if I will ever be able to say enough about my truly talented and gifted cousin, Beka Rendell with Innove Events and Styling. She is an amazing event stylist and planner and was recently seen on a local network show in Philly talking about what you can do with tables at your reception when it comes to brides with and without budgets.
As a photographer, my goal is to capture images that will truly speak to couples years after they say their I DO's. Being creative and adding personal touches are one way I am able to share their story. Building interest on a budget isn't hard with creativity and some diy savvy with a little inspiration from Beka's segment. This 7 minute video shows you just that! Beka gives great ideas on what to do without breaking the bank.
Are you a creative bride on a budget? If you are still in the market for a Wedding Photographer, Jus Cowland Photography would love the opportunity to be part of your day and capture your creativity and diy savvy on the most important day of your life!
