Today on the podcast: What really happens behind the camera on a wedding day with Penny Ralene.

Penny is a favorite photographer and friend around here! Penny and Sarah Kolis have collaborated on multiple styled shoots and family weddings over the years.

Penny talks about what really goes into photographing a wedding. From creating authentic “candid” moments to knowing which traditions are worth keeping, Penny shares her perspective on what makes a wedding gallery truly meaningful!

You don’t want to miss this one! Available wherever you listen to podcasts!

NEW! FINALLY Sarah is entering the personal styling world BEYOND BRIDAL!

More than anything, Sarah loves helping women feel beautiful! All our services up to this point seem to have a hard stop on the wedding day. But truly, that’s when your biggest new life adventure begins and we want Sarah to join you!

Our very first personal styling offer is the “Closet Clean-out” service where Sarah comes to YOUR closet for a deep clean, purge, and overall re-fresh! See the website for booking and more details!

The other beauty is that this service offers the opportunity to have your clothes easily altered as well!

Includes:
- Up to 4 hours of closet-cleanout time with Sarah (yes, at your home!)
- Personal styling individualized to YOU!
- Decision-making help for what to donate/keep/store
- Slight organization
- Ability to fit and pin ill-fitting clothing on the spot (and drop off later after alterations are complete)
- Sarah will take your old clothes and donate them for you (if you wish)
- A fully cleaned refreshed closet!

- Sarah Kolis

P.S. Yes Sarah made this dress herself! 100% silk duchess satin!

The consultation in March vs. the finished gown(s) in October! I’d say we nailed it pretty good!

Especially the ceremony gown, Kelsey knew EXACTLY what she wanted and we just drew a straight line map right towards it and never looked back!

The reception gown took a more winding route but I am so glad it did! Look at how it turned out! Stunning! I say its what Dolly would have worn if she were wanting to wear black. Kelsey looked INCREDIBLE in this one!!

Obviously, the overlay videos are from October, I tried to line it all up so you could see and hear the design concept right next to the final result! Hope you enjoy the hours of editing!! 🤗

P.S. thank you for referring Kelsey to me Beautiful Day Planning, LLC. !!!

Being silly with Angela! 🤪

If I am addicted to one thing in this world, it is pedialyte. I was quite ill once and I chugged Pedialyte to help expedite feeling better and what I noticed was how good my skin felt because of it! So now, I drink it when I am breaking out but also on wedding days! So I can stay hydrated without having to use the bathroom often. I know it has a lot of sugar but I figure there are worse things to be addicted to 🤷🏼‍♀️

Angela enjoys an iced vanilla latte! Angela has joined the team this year also working day-of styling weddings and she is greatly enjoying it! It is fun to have a second set of hands AND the ability to work multiple weddings in one day! Go team! Closet Queens for life!

A Gettint Ready Robe! We also did a garter and a handbag!!!

This is from mom’s 2001 bridal gown!!! How beautiful with all these gorgeous, colorful flowers!! That color made the new items even that much more beautiful!

The robe and garter were a surprise to her daughter! The handbag was for mom to enjoy on all her anniversaries! 🥹🫠😍

If you are interested in having these items made, yes you can mail the gown to me! Or if you are local, you can set up a “vintage re-designs” appointment at sarahkolis.com! Also FYI that appointment is NO obligation to move forward!
