Cupcakes
We are going with a cupcake tower instead of the traditional wedding cake. Stacey just told me about this great cupcake place in Mt. Dora. As good as Publix is, this place looks way tempting.

Jessica Leigh Photography
Our photographer is an amazing artist. When I saw her website I was sure she was out of our budget! I’m so glad her prices were reasonable. She’s really cool and I think she’ll be a great fit with our wedding. There’s a link on her website for her blog. She works almost every weekend and she blogs the photos.
