Chance Twitter Meeting Leads to Bridal Portrait Magic, Destination Wed

Thursday, May 20, 2010

I love this destination wedding story!  Plus, this bride designed her own stunning wedding dress. Be sure to check out the highlights below and then visit the Myrick Studios blog for more photos and details on Carissa's destination wedding...

Guest Blogger: Charissa Cowart Carnall (bride to be) for Myrick Studios

When it comes to planning for the big day, everything has to be perfect, the ring, the dress, the location, and of course the guy you’re marrying! I realized that finding the right guy and knowing he’s “the one” happens when you “just know,” same with the dress, and the church… but the wedding photographer? Of course! There’s a click that happens between the bride and every vendor involved in her special day.

So it might surprise you that Myrick and I had never met in person prior to my Bridal Portraits (which I drove 7 hours for from south Alabama to Nashville, TN for). Myrick and I found each other on Twitter because we shared the same last name – Cowart. At the time, I had just become engaged and was beginning the search for the perfect wedding photographer, but it took me a few weeks of casual twitter-conversation with Myrick before I even knew he was a photographer.

After seeing his website and then speaking with him on the phone I knew he was the one! It was the constant contact on Twitter though that gave me the “click”. When a business trip took me to Nashville we decided to also schedule my bridal portraits to save on extra travel. That bridal portrait session sealed the deal for me; I was stoked to have Myrick (my long lost cousin – or so we think) part of my very special day! And you can see why!

Hey Ashley! I’m Charissa (the bride in this post). I just found your website and saw that you posted the blog from Myrick’s site of my wedding. I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos! If you or any of your readers have any questions about wedding planning or anything they see in my photos feel free to contact me :)

@Thirty-Something Bride… I designed my dress, the bridesmaids dresses and my mom’s dress and had a lady here in my hometown hand make it :) It was my first piece to design, I’m working on my own fashion line!
