Katy & Drew – Southern Pine Company – DIY Wedding

July 10, 2013

I am so super over the moon excited to finally show off this incredible wedding.  Not only do I love this wedding because Katy and Drew are dear friends, but it truly is a reflection of their personalities and style – down to the very last detail.  And I just love weddings like this!
