Clarkston SCAMP Designer Showcase House

 If you are looking for something to do this weekend you should check out the SCAMP designer showcase home in downtown Clarkston. Its an amazing house that was totally redone by a lot of very talented people- one of whom is my friend Teri Guelde! Teri owns a store in downtown Clarkston called Frank & Me, she describes it as a fun, funky girlie boutique, which I think is the perfect description! I took some before and after shots for Teri. The room turned out beyond amazing! The inspiration was " Paris Apartment" .  She is so talented and if you ever need any design work done I would call her in a second! The entire project was spearheaded by Kevin Harrison of KH Home, also in downtown Clarkston ( and its also a very cool store! ) The whole project benefits Clarkston SCAMP, an awesome organization that runs a summer camp for children and young adults with special needs.Tickets are only 10.00 so go check it out!!!

Aisha and Jamie are married! On a very atypical August day - one that called for terrible weather- they celebrated with their family and friends and got married in their own back yard! The weather cooperated and their ceremony was picture perfect!

They worked so hard on their yard and it showed! I think this was one of my most favorite setting ever.

And what an unexpected eclectic mix of vintage and new, it was gardeny, it was classic, it was chic and stylish- it was a lot like Aisha - I like to think of her as Martha Stewart with tattoos!

She was GORGEOUS!!! and Jamie was very handsome in his linen suit!

The whole thing had a Great Gatsby type feel.....

As usual the Parsonage did a spectacular job- everyone was talking about how awesome the flowers looked! And all the extra touches Aisha did herself really made the event personal- just how your wedding should be!

Jamie and Aisha have some great neighbors! This is in one of the neighbors yard- I hate to use the word yard, because this is more like a secret oasis- it was getting dark but I would love to go back and look at everything another time! We also got to look at the interior of the house and it was beautiful. All the landscaping was done by Marie Barker of Golden Pheasant Landscape, it was phenomenal- I realize these images don't really show the landscape - more so the fact that they are REALLY big Jimmy Buffett fans!

Once the sun went down hundreds of candles were lit - it was a twinkling, magical evening!

So to recap- gorgeous bride and groom- stunning yard- the best wedding band we have heard yet - flowers to die for - the nicest group of family and friends - our favorite caterer ( The Moveable Feast ) - the best beer selection we have ever seen at a wedding ( we didn't drink any! but were still impressed, who serves Chimay at their wedding???)

Thank you Aisha and Jamie! We can't begin to tell you what a pleasure and honor it was to photograph your wedding!
