We’re often told that we have eclectic taste, and I think that’s pretty spot on.  We truly love to see the art in everything around us.  Our bedroom favors Ikea while our kitchen favors grandmas house.  Our dining room walls have everything from a raised map of the Appalachian mountains to a canvas our three […]

If you’ve been around here any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that our couples tend to be lively and vibrant, yet down to earth and relaxed.  From the moment I met Alyson + Bud it was clear that we were a perfect match for their wedding.  Their smiles just go on for days, and […]

  Can I just say it?  I’m in love with Kayla + Justin’s wedding!  The delicate details, the beautiful flowers, Kayla’s incredible lace dress… I could just go on and on.  From getting ready to the reception, it was all held at The Woman’s Club of Portsmouth.  The weather called for a high of 28˚F!

Most of the time when I ask whether a bride is doing a first look, I get a groan.  Brides are sick of hearing that question!  I only ask it for planning reasons (so I can make a timeline), but I do think they deserve a fair look.  So I’ve included some photos and stories from […]

Standout Vendors is a new feature you’ll be seeing around Fowler Studios!  The inspiration came this weekend during Alyson + Bud’s wedding.  It was our third wedding with DJ Rodney Charles and man, he is so awesome at his job.  When I found out he was there, I knew the reception was going to be amazing.

Our daughter is three and we have a Disney trip planned for this fall, so we actually LOVE it when she is obsessed with Frozen, Cinderella, and every other Disney princess.  Like most three year olds, she will sing her heart out with all the conviction in the world, and it. is. hilarious.

I’ll never forget applying for my first job.  I had just turned 16 and couldn’t wait to apply at the local diner.  I just knew I’d be a killer waitress and it would be awesome.  I’ll never forget the look in the eyes of the hiring manager.  He knew my family and knew I’d be good, but […]
