It's wedding week!

It is so weird to think that at the end of this week, on Saturday, I will be getting married to the love of my life!  I've been dreaming about this day for so long, ever since I knew that Justin was the one.  It always seemed like the day would never get here and now, it's here!  I haven't had a chance to do much with my camera recently because of all of the wedding things that need my attention, so tonight I got my camera out and took some pictures of things I'm excited about! 

Sparkling Cider for the wedding..yum yum!

My cute new owl travel bag for my makeup that i'll be taking on our honeymoon


 The larger owl bag for makeup/hair stuff.

I just love my owls  <3

I'm dying to have my camera around my neck the day of the wedding but unfortunately I have to step out from being behind the camera and be center of attention for the day.  I absolutely love our wedding photographer and know that she'll do an amazing job but I still might sneak away for a few minutes to try to get some pictures of my own..we shall see  ;)

My vintage love..

I have a very large spot in my heart for antique shopping.  I adore vintage things and seem to get in trouble when I go antique shopping because I want one of everything!  lol.  Today I took my fiance and my brother to our local antique mall for two reasons.  For one, I wanted to get some vintage props for photoshoots.  For two, I'm getting married in 29 days and I wanted to see what they had in terms of decor for my wedding.  Can you guess the theme for my wedding?  Yup! Vintage!  =)
So we walked around and of course the boys were instantly attracted to all the war knives and helmets and things like that but I kept walking and came across the cameras.  There were about 6 in the glass case I was looking in but only one of them really stood out to me so I purchased that one.  I also spotted a beautiful vintage Remington typewriter that I had to have!  I'm guessing it's probably from the 30's or 40's but it's still in great condition for an antique and is still types!  So, I bought that too!
After doing some damage on my credit card in that store, we went into another store and I ended up finding a few more cameras.  There was one that I saw and instantly knew I had to purchase this one as well.  It was used in the 1940's and is one of those cameras with the pop top viewfinder.  I bought that one and after that, I told myself that I was done.  I was soo happy leaving there because I had found 2 amazing cameras and a beautiful typewriter!  I can't wait to use them for my photoshoots and my wedding!
